[ATM] Difficulty Level of figuring 3/4 Plate Glass

[COO <coo_mo@yahoo.com>]

Based on the feedback I've received from the list (thanks to all) I plan
 on attempting a 14 or 15 inch (f5) with this glass.  That is if it isn't
 tempered. Hadn't thought of that when I bought it and haven't tested it for
 strain  yet. The glass is comprised of a coffee table top and 3 glass legs 
 and I've got enough for 6, 15 inch blanks. I consider myself pretty persistent at 
 mirror making.  I enjoy the process of grinding and polishing so don't mind spending way more time on each grade of grit then text book minimums. I'm in 
 no hurry.
 
 I'd   consider myself a superman if I had one decent 15 inch thin mirror to
 my name.
