Ralph:  You did not rain on my window parade at all.  As a matter of fact,
you got me over a hurdle by suggesting starting with two criss-crossed lines
extending from each of the corners of the glass.  I was going to start by
measuring 60-degree angles and decide how many of them I could fit in an 11
3/16-inch width window pane!  You saved me much frustration and brunette
hairs!

As far as the icebox project, this company in Virginia (www.iceboxes.com)
custom-fabricates them.  Check out their web site and let me know what you
think.  I am not in the market for hardware, although perhaps you could sell
what you have to this guy John Flanagan of iceboxes.com who has responded to
my request for pricing.  By way of background, I went out to dinner Saturday
night at a place called the Landis Store Hotel in Huff's Church, PA (way out
in the sticks).  In their establishment, they had this eye-catching icebox
that had been converted into a refrigerator/freezer.  It was made of solid
wood with glass-paned doors...it was beautiful!  On Sunday, I did a search
on the internet for "antique iceboxes" and discovered the place in Virginia.
The only reason I distributed their info to the mailing list yesterday is
that I would like to get some "word of mouth" on them if it exists.  I don't
want to spend 3 grand or so (minimum!) on one of these items if the quality
sucks or you end up on your own if you require service.

Thanks again, Ralph.
Donna
