Smoked Glass Source?

[nelsone]

Does anyone know of a good place around Charlotte to get some smoked glass for a TV stand I have been asked to make? I will need the glass cut to size and drilled for the overlay hinges.

Thanks!

Is this a replacement glass for a piece you already have? If it's a new piece you are working on, you can use hinges that slip over the glass door at the top and bottom, therby eliminating the need to bore the glass for hinges. Boring glass is tricky and can be expensive. If the door is over a certain length, you might be better with the glass doors bored for three hinges (curio length).

Thanks Buddy. The only hinges I've seen like you describe are for inset doors and I need overlay hinges. Do you have a source for the slip on hinges for a full overlay door?

Ed,
You are right. The hinges I am thinking of are more for an inset application where they attach to a top and bottom rail or panel and fit on the top and bottom of the glass. Hinges can be a pita can't they.
