Louis, thanks for all the good tips. I felt confident the 1/8″ window pane
wasn’t going to break laying flat on my heavy oak door workbench.
I screwed boards along each side to hold the glass in place,
and duct taped the front edge so I would not get cut…… I dislike blood,
especially my own. :-O

Prepare to be boarded!
