Title: an easy way to get glass
Post by: bubby on February 28, 2015, 11:39:16 pm

I was cashing in my aluminum cans last month and asked the guy that if he got any blue, red or different colored glass to save me some well I went back last week and he pulls these out, he wants to know why I want them and I tell him, asked how much and he said make me an arrowhead, got a cobalt blue one all finished up for him(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Mobile%20Uploads/20150221_111846_zps4anvedq3.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150221_111846_zps4anvedq3.jpg.html)

We have 3 glass bins in the city. Most are almost filled up. I can reach in and take what I want.

     Check with your local window repair, shop, and see if they will let you dumpster dive for some thick, and colored glass.
