The best place to get glass on the cheap is an architectural salvage store.
I got my glass in Pittsburgh at Construction Junction. It cost 2$ and I got
2 pieces. They are 18" x 30" and have beveled edges. You can pick through
the selection of individual panes and pieces and find one sized to fit your
work situation. I use mine as shelves for storage when they are not in use.
