    You asked about cutting tempered glass? I believe that you can sometimes get away with smoothing an edge or corner with a smooth abrasive stone in a Dremel or equivalent, but it may shatter. To cut it you have to anneal it in an oven to remove the temper first. I'm not sure about re-tempering and I believe you'll find it cheaper to start over. Your best bet is to take your plywood panels to a good glass shop and have them cut new panels, smooth the edges as you want them, and then once done temper the panels. A big shop can usually do them in a week or two. Years ago I had one done for a late '40's Jeep Panel Wagon door glass that was just flat glass, angled front. An Automotive Glass Shop made it for me.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
