    Not sure I know if you are joking or being a smart alec. Of course I am for real. I busted my butt to learn this process and I am happy to show others. I will e mail the Powerpoint presentation to whoever wants to see it.

    Rick,

    In todays day and age it's not likely that anyone will want a file of unknown origin emailed to them. Instead I suggest breaking up your "presentation" in to small parts and posting them to this thread.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    cutting curved glass is always a gamble. it takes time but i always sand them down on a wet belt. i'd rather spend the time sanding them to shape than chasing new pieces of glass.

    I appreciate the concern about uploading files of an unknown origin. I have split the presentation in two and uploaded it for your viewing.

    Sincerely
