That's awesome Larry! I like the ato section. Just curious. How come you didn't go with acrylic?

Glass is more forgiving and easier to work with. Especially when you've worked with it for a long time. Glass costs less that an equivalent size vs thickness of acrylic. In the long run glass is easier to maintain.
