Glass is great for rolling tubes and such things not requiring great accuracy but needing a flat surface. I have a piece of plate glass from an old, OLD TV console, and a couple sheets from bath shelving - the bath shelving shatters when dropped, or I'd have three. I think the plate glass was from antiquity when people feared the cathode tube would explode and the plate glass was extra insurance. Pre-used (salvage) typically has the advantage of bevelled edges already done.
Never could trust myself to build "thru" the glass accurately so use foam core bases for wings and such, with saran wrap over the plan base. Occasionally get lazy and simply stick scotch tape over the spots where glue is to be applied. Sheet pieces can be cut for separate parts with several foam core bases to work with, setting one aside to work on another.
