Hi, Mel

These are the words I wanted to hear, thanks. By the way, today I've
contacted guys from furniture machine shop and they said they never use
anything except sand blasting grit for beveling the glass edge.

I've visited your COT website recently. Your project is breathtaking. Where
have I been all these years??? I'm going to clone it asap.

Good luck,
