Steve,

Do you have any recommendations for who in town is good with glass cutting? In the past I've gone to the Glass Smith on Tennyson to get pieces of glass cut and holes drilled in tanks. Last week I went to B&E Glass to have some pieces of glass cut (one of which with a hole drilled in it) and they were some of the worst cuts I've ever seen - almost nothing was actually square.

I need to have some 1/4" pieces (again, one of which will have holes drilled in it) cut to build my external overflow. I'm considering just having the pieces cut at Glass Smith & Co based on the good experiences I've had with them in the past and then drilling the pieces I need myself. But is there someone else in town who would do a better job? I'm inclined to believe that some place like Speedy Glass has to have better means of making a square cut than B&E Glass.
