local hardware store. do A LOT of research before you get into this. I spent a few months researching before I did my first project, and I'm very happy! it's not all that hard, but check out this site and others for lots of GREAT info.

Good luck![IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

lowes, home depot, anywhere that sells hardware really. i'd make sure you knew exactly what you were doing before you try to tackle some intricate glass work, its pretty tough the first couple of times.

dremel + sandpaper works best for me. when i dont have a dremel, a jigsaw works nicely too. when i have none of those, i use a rotozip, which is a b i t c h to work with (only have wood blades) but it works, in the end. just more sandpaper work.

but a dremel with the reinforced cutting wheel cuts glass like BUTTER
