Question
I would like to make some beveled glass panels for some new cabinets that I am building.  Would you know where I could purchase the supplies, beveled glass,lead,solder,and patterns, to build some door panels?  Most of the catalogs I have seen do not have beveled glass.

                          Thank you, Mark Reid

Answer
Hi Mark,
The biggest problem with the answering of your question, is where do you live?
There is most likely a stained glass shop, a studio with a retail outlet, near to you.  that is where I would go if I were you.  The bevels, if they need to be expecially made to a certain size, are going to be more expensive than, say stock bevels, which are already made in a multitude of sizes, and are quite instantly available.  There is a web page where you can go to find all the materials needed, but YOU cannot buy from them though, as they are wholesale only..  If you should ask to buy from them, though they will ask your zip code or something, and give you the name

of their nearest dealer. They have a huge selection of bevels.  
If you don't already know how to make stained glass, though, I'd recommend taking a class to cut down on spending a lot of money on materials, and then perhaps not
getting the best job you are capable of. I know I'm rambling.  The name of the place is Houston stained Glass, and I'm looking right now for their online address.  HOld on....................
http://www.thestorefinder.com/glass.html Well here's one that might help.... It's called the store finder.  You might just try that one... I'll looke for Houston, too..............Well here it is... apparently they have changed their name....http://www.glasscraft.net/
Best I can do,Mark.
Good luck,
