Very neat work mate. So, what's the plan for the next batch?

**Wongo** · 31st January 2006, 09:01 AM

Beautiful work mate

I'm going to make up either dovetailed serving trays or maybe coved and mitred trays. With a glass mosaic serving surface.

Can't wait for the pikkys. I think I've seen this done with a tile nibbler (or something) so you've put in a lot of patient effort.

Cheers,

Hi benny

I thought that you are in woodworking and radio control models but we are discovering another "dark side" of yours.

WHat will be the next surprise.

Beautiful.

It's good therapy, lol. Only thing you need to get used to is relaxing the acuracy, the charm is in the overall result and not in trying to carefully match the tiles. Took me a while to relax and they say I'm still to pedantic.

Geez arent you people happy with being good at one thing, you also have to show off talents in other areas too

Great work on the mosaics, they will look good incorporated into some woodwork

Great stuff Benny! Trying to get my head around the scale??? 12" diameter ???

**bennylaird** · 31st January 2006, 02:03 PM

Bigger at 70 cm's. Good size as with the glass tiles being 20mm square you usual break them into 4 at 5mm square. I'm a fan of glass tiles mainly for the detail and the variety of tiles about.
