Engraving

[Lou18]

Does anybody have a name and contact number for the guy who started his own glass business after the closure of Caithness Glass?

I need to get a bottle engraved (although I believe they call it something else rather than engraving, as it is done in fancy lettering). Caithness Glass used to do it but I believe this guy is continuing with it....

Any help would be much appreciated (I've tried numerous companies but nobody does it, apart from one which engraved the bottle in huge, untidy, handwritten capitals!!)

Thanks...

I used to work at Caithness Glas a long time ago. The techniques for engraving are either copperwheel (literally, a wee copper disk on a spindle), or sandblasting through a stencil. There were only a few copperwheel people, but quite a number who did the stencil type work. By cutting out different parts of the pattern and repeating the sendblasting, they could do quite nifty relief effects.

Glad to see somone is keeping this going. I hope he got the equipment cheap!
