It finally cooled off enough for me to work in my glass room (read garage) to get something done, my glass supplier has no idea what the glass is that I used for the pumpkin and the bottom - came from an estate sale several years back, the stem for the pumpkin is just a piece of green glass I found in my scrap box, the background for the pumpkin is Spectrum 4441W and the sides are 2"x4" Glue Chip bevels all wrapped with zinc came. |

The miters are the easy part, it's getting the length right that was harder. My best friend for doing the miters from Harbor Freight - 2" Mini-chop saw. |
