Would glass be the ideal surface for using as a base? Better than scrap granite or marble counter top?
Also, what woul be ideal dimensions for the base?
I am going to order the 9x13 sheets from ThorLabs, so I would assume cutting them into three 3" strips s the way to go. So maybe a 5x15 piece of glass?
I found a website that will make a custom 5x15 and 1/2" thick tempered piece of glass for like $37 shipped. Thinking that would be perfect
Woodcraft granite is cheaper than that:
