well, theres no end to the puzzles...
I have worked with glass a little (ok, just enough to break off an edge or shatter the whole thing) but im curious... If i have a 12x12x1/8 mirrored panel is there an easy way to cut a square in the center for a keypad?
its not worth the 10$ at the glass place and the 20$ in gas all for the sake of my silly ideas that i cant keep from popping into my head, but since i have a couple boxes of leftover mirror tiles i might as well entertain myself.

On the old TV shows, they always showed people cutting glass with diamond rings.  ;D

ChadTower:


If it is regular glass, maybe.

If it is tempered glass, forget it.

Oh yeah, i forgot all about that... anyone have Batmans email address?  Im sure he has a glass cutter on his utility belt.
 ;D

I would forget it full stop.

I personally wouldn't attempt it.  Some one at a local glaziers/photo framers would happily cut it for you for peanuts.
Hell if you cant afford it, Ill pay for them to do it than try to do it yourself.
