Wonderful to see someone still hand assembling elements and glass working. Its 55 years since I did any glasswork and CRT gun assembly.
It was very high on the skill rating, needing a steady hand and good eyesight.
Most of the gun work was done by women but all the glassworkers were male. Both were extremely fastidious. I remember one glass worker who made champagne glasses, a set of 12, and when finished they were all exactly the same height.
Glasslinger's work is commendable considering his equipment is not the best and he has obviously been doing it for a long while.
