What are you running now? Upgrading ?
Bowing out to spend more time golfing and generally being more active. I want to play competitively next year (more than anything for the fun of it) and need to put the time in to getting my handicap down to a scratch.

well that suck that sea star won't notch a tank. for mine I did it with a glass cutter and a template to follow. you can't run corners with a glass cutter so it is a big curve.. then I used the dremmel to shape it. going to be a lot harder to use a glass cutter on the thicker glass you will have.. talk to the glass smith.. they have glass grinding router bits... might be an option.

Ya, I certainly wouldn't use a glass cutter Japarto suggested a cutting disk, he's used one before without problems. Victoria Glass might also do it. Worst case, I'll drill it and run an internal box. Not a huge deal, if it's going to be easier.

ya the diamond cutting disks might work. just keep water on it so it doesn't heat up.
