Excellent William, a great job on those envelopes. Just curious to know if you would make me some custom glass for a Jacot carriage clock, if so. I will email you some details of glass size?

Cheers,
Bila

Hi William,

I will send you some detail as soon as I get the glass out of the clock case. Will be 4 rectangular pieces and 1 Oval piece needed all with bevelled edges, it is fairly thick glass. Once disassembled I can send you over the pieces for you to cut the new ones if you like.

Best Regards,
Bila
