My father-in-law turned a beautiful 2ft (approx) high hourglass for my wife
and I a few years ago. Sadly my daughter broke the glass in it today and my
wife is very upset.
Does anyone know of a supplier of the hourglass for such a large size? My
father in law believes you cannot get them anymore.
I hope he is proved wrong.
Regards,
Gavin

Hey Gavin,
If you don't have any luck finding the glass component "off the shelf",
email a few glass blowers. I've had good luck with having custom glass
pieces blown/crafted for commissions such as kaleidoscopes and curved fused
glass for cabinet doors. I'm sure a custom hour glass design wouldn't be
out of the question. Prices are usually reasonable.
Cheers and good luck,
aw

a scientific glass blower could make you one pretty easily. you need to find
one with a large enough glass lathe. try calling your chem department in a
local university for recommendations for one.

I did a quick search and came up with this guy:
<http://www.hourglasses.com/html/body_large_glasses.html>
It doesn't look like he sells the glass itself, but you might ask him
where he got his to replace your broken one. (At least this tells you
they're still available.)

Lee Valley Tools has a true hourglass, but it's only 8" tall. Take a look if
you like.
