Here i am engraving with copper wheels copying the photo it took me 200 hours of my own time ,about 6 months work,when i had nearly finished it a New York fire fighter Michael O'Rourke pass by my work bench while he was touring the Waterford Crystal Factory in Ireland,he saw what i had done and ask me what i was going to do with the piece when it was finished,i said i was going to donate it to the Fire Department,i told the CEO of Waterford what i was going to do and he told me to make another piece bigger and bring it over to New York.so i did but on the company time..........so Michael got in touch with the fire Department and i presented it on the 15th of march 2007
i Have made another one since and much bigger just for the 350.000 visitors that come to Waterford Crystal Ireland
