Query about glass cutting

Mr.McSpanky · 2006-01-16T00:49:22+00:00

I am an owner builder and as such have glass needs for my windows.If I have a large piece of glass is it feasible to cut that glass down in size and use it for a windows?Would this be cheaper than outright purchase of glass precut to the size required?I am assuming that pretty much any qualified glazier could do this (if of course it is doable and worthwhile)?I have the opportunity to get all the glass I need FOR FREE so this information would be good to know.This was the only glass newsgroup I could find.I tried to call glaziers from the yellow pages but all I got was the runaround. It seems if you aren't ordering a broken window to be fixed or something similar then you are wasting their time. Any of these companies that would have put me through to someone in the know would have most likely had all of the business when it happens

Visiting friends and since they have a webtv,thougt I look for a nice friendly glass artist group,to exchange ideas or ask questions,but what I just read here, the past few minutes,sounds like you welcome people with a real nasty attitude,that don't do anything but give groups a bad name,think I find a friendlier one.Glassgrann1 And no I am not from Australia

You are correct. Most NG's that are poorly attended get dominated by the few that post. Then it gets to be a territorial thing, like bulls defending their flock. Sorry, but there are no rules here. It's sink or swim.

Hey do you want the glass cut, or a sexy fashion show? If I send pix I'll have no shot at the gig.
