LMAO @ Zombie

Thanks for the vid- I always wondered what was involved in making cups.

Watching the work that goes into just one cup, I can understand the $$$ price tag for the set... I still can't afford one, but I can understand the price.

And this is the last set of Gazzo cups Gary sold 3 years ago just before moving back to the UK from New Zealand. A very rare set since he doesn't make them any more, and since they've never been out of the house. All 3 are signed inside.

Gary says he's retiring, but still produces items now on his own schedule. I waited over a year for him to get set up again after moving back to England from NZ. It was worth the wait!

Gazzo, when Gary finished making your gear, did you have have him wander down to his basement and fetch you a dinner jacket...only to run off while he was gone?

I've not forgiven you for that one you know.

The work Gary puts into the cups with skill & precision
and sheer hard work is really incredible to watch..

When Gary & his family lived here a couple of years back it was a treat to see him
working & making these to order, people like Nick Nickolas uses these Gary made for him,
and to also hear people like Pete Wardell praise his gear on DVD says it all.. I was fascinated to see the creation of Gazzo & Love cups etc..and be able to see how he did the different types.

I know he had trouble here with the copper sheets as well as the Lathe he had wasnt the best
for exactly what he wanted..and he wrecked his hands..
To see Gary perform the cups & Balls also is a higlight with his wicked sense of Humour-we had fun in shows...

Buy his gear its the best...

Cheers

Brent
