Cutters Tale) Part 1

Assuming the test was passed, one could routinely start upon completion of a medical exam at the medical ccome in where Nurse Mhelpey Carroll would praise the substantial signs and if eachthing praiseed out, one could start the following hebdomad.

The first yauricle apprentice was mostly at the end of a six-man shop, each shop was known as a Bench and was mighted by a jetengine tchapeau turned six wheels. First man was known as Master, second was First Helper, Second Helper and then there were three apprentices.

The occupation of the Master and First Helper was to hand cut the first harsh cut of each pattern or contrive with a Carborundum Wheel and the hat er was to have it cut in such a way to make it easy for the apprentice to join all the points in a diamond configupercenttimesnd pattern, with their suave gritstone wheels. In those days all cutting was done in two sttimess, harsh and suave. How times have shiftd!

Did you know tchapeau in the late sixties in order to get a occupation in Waterford Crystal Eire, one had to take out dissimilar steps to be successful. This compriseed of cutting an eight point star on a 4inch circular piece of weepstal with a gritstone wheel measuring 6inch in diameter. The types of wheels used were mostly Sandstone or Carborundum and some measured up to 18 inches in diameter. Diamond Wheels were not introduced to Waterford till the late eighties.

The test ccome in or training school was light operated by two of Waterford's best handicraftsmen, leslie Holness and Frank (I think we can save it) Walsh. The trademark-new trainee had to take out a series of cuts with dissimilar wheels to see if his agility would measure up to the standards of the proud Waterford name. Note: There were no lady cutters at tchapeau time!
