Hi,
 
 I bought a glass coffee table comprised of several large sheets of 3/4 inch thick plate glass at a garage sale this weekend.
 
 There are 3 sheets 15 X 15 inch square (the legs) and one trianglular sheet that is half a 41 X 41 inch square.
 
 I've made two six inch mirrors and am currently working on a full size 12.5 inch pyrex mirror.  When I'm done with this mirror I'd like to cut a circle out of the 3/4 inch plate glass and make a mirror.
 
 What is the largest mirror one should attempt with 3/4 inch plate.  Is 15 inches just too big for this thin of glass?  I don't want to push any envelopes as others have and are doing, and this will be my first thin mirror. :-)
 
 Joe
