BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted December 6, 2010 The one I saw at Tandy was around 4x5 inches and looked around .250" thick. If you were closer I would give you some .250" thick glass that I have, I literally have tons of it. I would suggest using plate glass, not tempered. Glass loses 80% of it strength when scratched, or chipped. Plate glass may chip, but it won't shatter like tempered will. A local glass shop may have some scraps that you could use. I myself have never used one, but I am thinking of making one to try out, since I have tons of glass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor E Report post Posted December 6, 2010 Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents, I use a piece of finished ash that is 4x5 and is a little under 3/4 of an inch. I shaped it into a torpedo shape so that I could also use it for transferring craftaids as well. I stained it and then topcoated with 10 or 12 coats of poly to give it that slick surface. I have only tried the glass ones at Tandy but am always afraid of clinking them too hard on the granite and breaking them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
