Graham,
I had a client, who really likes lamps, built one in 60 days for his
daughter, hand cut and ground, then had to turn around and build one for
daughter number 2, (because the 1st once came out so nice!), the second
one
took a little less, but only because it was spring and nothing stops this
guy from hitting the golf course 3 times a week. Easily doable, and all
hand done, no lasers or water jets.
He has since switched to the Odyssey mold system and is still making lamps
for relatives, which he is running out of. Relatives, not lamps.
