lol, thanks everyone!

I'll keep an eye out for glass sources. Never would have thought of using an old CRT screen, Dakota. Are they heavily concave/convex like the bottom of a bottle, or convex on both sides like a lens?

Chippintuff:
TV screens are thick. Curve doesn't make much difference.

Ippus:
Well, what do you know? I asked on facebook if anybody had old tvs or crt monitors to get rid of, and now I have 3 of them in my basement, aiting to be disassembled!

Ippus:
Fantastic idea, guys!

About 3 hours (and a few minor cuts) later, and I have about 26 lbs of nice thick glass, in large pieces. Should be enough for me to manage a few arrowheads...

StumblyRhino:
Wow, this is a great idea.  I had no clue.  Off to Craigslist!
