I have a project in mind that I would like to start making. I need cut to fit glass circles though. I cannot even cut glass in a straight line without wasting most of it.

Does anyone know or is anyone a glass cutter? I will be needing a few done ranging in size from 14" to 18". Each one will be slightly different.

I dont know what it would cost to have this done, I am looking for local places/people also but if I could give my money to someone here I would like to.

As far as the project all I will say is they will be used as a surface to set things on.

Usually local "one-off" hardware stores and the like will cut and fit glass for windows, but may or may not be able to cut in circle patterns.

There's 2 places in Brookfield, about 5 miles from me, that cut glass.
Quinn Lumber, and Hometown Hardware. The fella at Hometown replaced the glass in a storm window for me last week, did a good job, and charged me 13 dollars and change.

If it's a last resort thing, I'll gladly call and ask if they can cut in a circle, if you want.

Regular glass? If so,just call any window place.The glass company here in town that replaces car windows,store windows,etc will cut mirrors or glass easily in any basic shape.I got a 40'x18" piece of glass for our desk for $12.00 with beveled edges.I've had glass and mirror circles cut for my model car displays as well.The mirrors usually run about $7.00 for a 12" circle,regular glass is cheaper.
