Looking for a local place that is not afraid to cut a trapezoid out of glass. They would also need to carry glass, 1/8" is all. I need about 5 pieces, all under 1'x1'. Looking for a cheap place, should cost me around 8-10 dollars for all of it.

Please let me know if you have friends or family that own a place, would rather not visit a chain. :thumbs_up:

yes this is for a "special project" that you all should love.

I seriously doubt you will find anyone to do it for 10 bucks but you can do it yourself. All you need is a glass cutter, glass, and a straight edge. All can be bought at HD or Lowes.

Ok let me get on my other computer and look up the plans. Then I can give you the exact dimensions. Should be a pretty cool project.

ok I need a plank 4"x12" made of 1/2" for the tank itself to sit on. I forgot that piece.

The glass is...
Front: 1 pane; 8 1/4” x 9 9/16”
Back: 1 pane; 8 1/4” x 9 3/8”
Bottom: 1 pane; 8 1/4” x 7 3/4”



And the tricky panes:

Should be easy enough. Let me know if you can do it! :thumbs_up:

if you can find all the glass to get the pieces you need out of, i am a glass man by trade and will be in S.A. this weekend. I could come by and cut them for you, no big deal. pm me if this helps any at all

just remembered this, just brought the glass in to warm it up - a little harder to cut when it is cold. i will let you know when it is done.
