Florex Glass
I have been trying to find 2 small pieces of Florex Glass (about 9" x 48" each).
I can't seem to find anyone who has this stuff. (It's the old glass that old rowhouses used in pocket doors, transoms and glass panel interior doors.)
If anyone has any or a lead to someone who may have some, please let me know.
Thanks

Glass cut table top?
I am looking for someone to cut a piece of glass to fit on an antique dining table (4x6). Does anyone have a recommendation for a glass cutter? I can trace the size needed myself and pick-up the glass, once cut. Also, does anyone know how much it might cost? I was quoted $460, but this seems high.

Frameless Glass Shower Repair
Would anyone possibly have a recommendation for a company that could fix my frameless glass shower?
The company that installed it didn't do a great job and I'm currently having some problems with the sealant, mildew, etc.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

making french door with clear glass obscure
I got a french door with clear glass for my bathroom
(http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=08403-1416-08403&lpage=none) and want to make this glass obscure. I originally planned to either use the frosting spray or self adhesive film they sell at both Lowes and Home Depot. However, the former turned out to look plain ugly, and the latter is not really obscure enough. Can anybody recommend an easy do it yourself way to make this work? Perhaps there are other window films somewhere? Or we can use some other method?

Glass Copper Wheel Engraver needed
The wood pocket doors on my parlor floor were made to include 6 panes each of glass in the upper 2/3. The glass is quite beautiful, I think etched and then copper wheel engraved with a design (some of which you can see in the photo of one pane, albeit somewhat covered with edging tape & photographed on my phone in the cellar). Unfortunately, one of the panes was gone by the time I got the house.
Can anyone recommend a copper wheel engraver to make a replacement copy? If not, does anyone have ideas about what alternatives I have if I can't find/afford a copy?

Help: is it possible to fix scratches & BB holes on original brownstone doors (large beveled pane)
Our exterior brownstone doors (ones with large panes of thick beveled glass in each side) has a number of large scratches (maybe keyed?) in the glass. Does anyone know if it is possible to "fix" or minimize the scratches? Also, the interior front door glass (also thick beveled) has three BB shot holes in it. Any chance of fixing those? Any recommendations welcome!

Wall mirror removal??
Does anyone know how much work is required to remove a built in mirror from the wall? The mirror covers the entire wall in the living room. The coop that we are about to by has a mirrored wall and I'd like to have it removed. Is this a major and expensive job?
