Gururaja Glass Works

At Gururaja Glass Works, things are usually a bit loud because of the cutting and the general noise from New Timberyard Layout. Being at number 50 means we are right in the middle of all the industrial action. There is always a layer of fine glass dust on the workbenches, no matter how much we sweep the place. We handle different types of glass all day, mostly measuring things out for local orders. The racks are full of large sheets that we have to move very carefully so nothing cracks. It’s a job that keeps you on your toes. Our hands have a few small scars here and there from years of doing this work. The lighting inside isn't the best, so we rely on the big open doors to let the sun in while we work. We have an old radio that plays local stations in the background, though it’s hard to hear when the grinders are running. Customers come in with their own measurements on scraps of paper, and we do our best to get the edges smooth. The office part is just a corner with a filing cabinet and a plastic chair. It’s a practical space without any decorations or anything unnecessary. We just show up, do the cutting, and make sure the glass is ready for whoever needs it. It’s basic, honest work that we’ve been doing right here for many years.
