derrickdj1 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The local glass company quoted me $265 each for 1/4 inch and $540 each for 3/8. Does anyone know of a company online, and do these prices seem high or is it just me being cheap? That is high! Glass ain't that expensive, look around for a better price. You could buy some smoked glass end table and use that glass, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Derrick You live relatively close to me, can you check it out by you please? I'm still going to go with Chris' idea, if it helps with the sound I don't care what it looks like TY Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Uh, I'm sorry, did you say you don't care what it looks like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yea, thats what I said. That's why I've spent IDK how many hours working on them, so they can be as nice as I can get them. To put a drop cloth on them LOL Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Check out the online stores, they will need accurate measurements or a template for pricing. Post some pictures when complete, glad you were able to peel away the lousy oak veneer job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Online glass from "One Day Glass - Peninsula Glass Company" is very reasonably priced. 3 years ago it cost $129.78 for 1/4" tempered glass for both Khorns, that's including the $33.00 FedEx cost. https://www.onedayglass.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks David! 1/4 inch tempered, tinted and pencil ground matte edges are $204 plus $62 shipping to Chicago. I'm still going to try Chris's plan with the 1 inch cloth, but will probably end up with the glass from them I added the same glass for a Belle center and CWs and the total for all 5 pieces shipped was roughly $420, good deal! Thanks again Mark Edited November 11, 2015 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The felt absorption idea can be applied over the top of the glass tops only when you're listening, and filed away when you're not. That's something that I've done with my Belles in the past. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks Chris! I need to get the CWs and Belle finished and order all the glass at once, it saves a bunch on shipping Mark Edited November 11, 2015 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I paid $55 each for my 3 Belles' bronze glass tops with polished edges but after screwing them up twice they were free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcobob Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Mine were $35 each from the local glass shop. 1/4" but that wasn't smoked. Tried to smoke them but they wouldn't stay lit. I've been trying some edge lighting of the glass. 1st pic is edge lit w/ ccfl tube, 2nd is lit from the back edges w/ grain of wheat leds in an aluminum channel. They both look good with a green glow to them. The green is due to the iron content of the glass. They are the the Worst thing I have ever tried to get an image of so the pics don't do them justice. The real effect is more subtle. I have glass on almost all of the good wood furniture and all speakers in the house. RSW-15 required vinyl dots under glass since it tended to walk off of the speaker. Nothing is idiot proof but it does make things idiot resistant and mostly stops time for the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
