Thanks again guys. I stopped by a friends house today who ownes a glass business. He gave me about 6 square feet of 1/4" glass, some clear, some tinted.  Turns out what I made that point out of was 3/16" thick instead of 1/4". 
  He gave me a glass cutter too. I tried to pay him, but all he wanted was a point a piece for his two girls.
  He said he would get me some 3/8" if I wanted it.
  Who knows, if I can get a few decent points out of this stuff, I might just try them out this fall on some game. ;D
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

The dumpster behind a glass company is a good source of knapping material.  ;) Also the glass from a glass top table that you use to iron on a T shirt transfer. :o ::)

Hey! We got glass blowers on the island here. Think I could raid their scrap bins?

I borrowed ::) some big balls and chunks of glass from a place in Midlothian that sold it to dinnerware company's. All colors, but the flat stuff works a lot easier.
