    Quoted from ArcadiusMaximus:

    So is this thread a round about sales pitch? I'm confused...

    If it is, not the smartest IMO. Who would now be inclined to choose him to do business with lol. What if you upset him during a transaction

    Quoted from greatwichjohn:

    You guys need to relax with the hatred! I have never broken a glass on location & never heard of anyone breaking a tempered glass by banging on it in 40 years. My offer is open to anyone in my area, even if the glass explodes in the owners hands or handling (seen this myself). I do not go to local collectors & beat on the glass. I do not wear rings or anything else. Just games that are definitely not up to par on location. After this I will try to refrain from doing it in the future. Likely I am not the only one to admit to doing this, but after all the comments I am sure no one will chime in. Others do the same along with the owners which I have seen first hand. I do not kick the door, legs, or drop games. But I have seen others do it. For all the guys with the negative comments towards me, look closely at yourself! I personally would never hurl the personal attacks as seen here. For the local guys who know me, they have seen many games in the past sent to the dump or burned up. Which seems to also get comments here.

    I have definitely smacked my glass or LDB or wall (or or or) on an occasion of frustration from time to time. Key word being "MY". I would never even think to do that with property that wasn't mine.

    Quoted from RWH:

    Has anyone here attempted to cut Plate Glass on their own? I have a sheet and thought about using it for something but whatever I use it for will likely involve cutting it to size so was just wondering if it's possible.

    Depending on the thickness it can be done as a DIY but it's not really "cutting". There are several types of scoring devises that can be used to aid you. If you buy cut to size glass from a hardware type store that's all they do. They have a diamond blade that rides on a rail and they score it several times and then they have a device that applies even pressure to both sides of the score and then it's snapped at the score. Doesn't always come out perfect though and some pieces have to be scrapped.
