Fascinating! That is cool.

Sadly, I have a lifetime in the glass business.
My dad owned a commercial glazing company. I worked there on and off from ages 12-20.
After college, I worked for a company that was involved in automotive windshields, marine glazing and some residential.
I now work for a company as a product supplier for residential window installations. I was an instructor for a residential installation program.
When I was growing up, we had a saying in the family. “If you have to break something, make sure it’s a window.”
I only recall taking that advice a couple times. Once I was about 16. I accidentally broke the back door window. I removed the glass, drove to the shop, cut a piece of glass, polished the edges, drove home, installed the new window, installed glazing putty and was done before anyone even found out, not that they’d care.
