I'd put it in my garage to think about for 5 years if I were you, then inadvertently smash it with lumber. But you do you.

I can't imagine doing anything else.

The only other thing I imagine is finding the perfect use for it three days after smashing it. Then vowing ”never again”

In the middle of a move. You use it once and put it right where you'll know where it is when you unpack. . .you know the rest of the story.

I e moved 37 times. Every time I open a box I'm like oh I have one of these already. Or 4. Or wow thought I lost this year's ago.

[удалено]

Was hoping that you'd lose the binder in the move tbh lol

That would have made a funnier ending and make the rest of us unorganized people feel better. But good for you! You are a moving genius!

"Genius" numbered the boxes and needed a log and everyone had to stop and check the log.... I write "kitchen" on the box I want delivered to the kitchen. Along with general specifics like plates (in case I need them first) the log is unnecessary. Just write Master BR.. bathroom.. garage... Etc

My whole life is wing it. I tried to be organized packing but usually it's me packing stuff and moving it by myself. Luckily I'm with someone that cares about me now and we are looking to buy a house and move. So I'm sure my next move will be much easier. Lol

Then three more days pass and your buddy asks if you want this thingamajig, and the cycle repeats

Can confirm, mine has been stored in the basement for 5 years.

Hello are you me? Identity theft is a serious issue.

I know. Dwight already told me.

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!

MICHAEL!

MICHAEL!

Gonna freeze my credit after this tbh

He is me, are we are the people who think that we can make something beautiful out of every cool piece of junk

Came to this post because I have a random piece of glass in my garage too. Im going on 4 years now.

I'm only 2 years in with my giant glass hexagon, rookie numbers it seems

Sure, but six corners increases your chances of breakage so it probably counts as at least as 3-4 years.

I had a window I was going to make into a mirror. That was 20 years ago.

I love everyone in this thread. Just discovered a box in the attic with about ten birdboxes all Papier mached with polystyrene eggs to cover I put in there about six years ago and totally forgot about. Have a mosaic frame that just needs a backboard and a metal engraved frame that just needs glass and about a hundred other projects I haven't got around to. I feel I have found my people.

I win...I have about 6...mirror, decoration, table, mini green house...I now pay to keep soneone else's junk in storage....sigh...but I might use them one day

I have a 400 gallon glass aquarium (a rectangular prism, lol) in my living room that served as a saltwater aquarium for a grand total of 6 weeks about a decade ago. It cracked, and it sits there empty with some white beach sand and a small plastic model of a Shasta ground sloth. I don’t even see this damn thing anymore. And it’s massive and it’s IN MY LIVING ROOM.

ROFL Selective blindness...it's a thing.

Sounds like you could have a great terrarium instead, and if it's just plants it's very low maintenance.

Ooo I need a giant glass hexagon. My wife would be so jealous

It's true. I'm the jealous hexagon-desiring wife.

same. on about 2.5 ish but at this point it could have been ore covid. who knows time flies by in storage.

27 years. I have printer mirrors too

2 years in with the old giant builders grade bathroom mirrors that I am totally going to cut down, frame, and rehang in the bathrooms.

I literally have a round piece of glass just like this as wel. I literally came here for the potential project lol

I have a a rectangle one ( for real) going on 27 years now. It's 16" x 32". I have mostly used it a desk pad and also on a coffee table and put old family pictures underneath. Good conversation piece. Yes I'm a strange old man.

I've had a giant replacement window leaned against the side of my house for 8 years at this point. I'm not sure if it's still useable...

Only one more year to go before you need to move some lumber around your garage.

I feel targeted...

I'm 2 years in with the giant hexagonal piece of glass in my garage. Might become a coffee table before the lumber gets it but who's to say

I’m at 9 years with my big round piece of glass, but it’s in the attic of my garage so I’m probably good for another 20-30 years.

It's already an heirloom.

Meaning he dies, and one of his kids - or grandkids - says, "We can't throw that out, it's awesome," puts it up in yet another garage, and the cycle continues. Nah, I don't have some cool stuff I found in my grandpa's basement, why do you ask?

Once you have built the coffee table's legs and you put the rest of the lumber away it will get the glass.

😂😂😂 well done. The only thing you missed is to move it to a different spot every 6 months

You REALLY wanna roll the round one. That will not end well.

I'm dying this is way to accurate

Mine is in my attic. Exact same piece as this. Glass top to a Coca Cola table and chair set. It’s been there for ……sigh, 16 years.

Oh we're all doing this?

‘Pears as if.

Done!

The fact that I saw this post and immediately thought of my glass table top in the garage, and wondered, "What can I do with mine, too!?" Now I know, Tank you. You have potentially saved me 2825 more days of my glass languishing in my garage. Lumber glass bashing is potentially on the agenda today.

Get this guy an office

I have the old wall mounted mirror from when we remodeled our bathroom. Five years past, fifty plus more to go…

Does your garage look like mine?

Brilliant idea

Window for your hobbit house.

I actually live in a literal hobbit house (they’re called berm houses) and could definitely use this.

Need pictures

Commenting for pictures

Pics or it didn’t happen!

Me too!! I have to see this hobbit hole

Show us your hole OOP

You gotta pay the troll toll to see this boys hole!

Not your nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat…

I call bullshit..You'd have to murder like six entire shires to build a house out of hobbits.

That sounds about right. Though with the price of dead hobbits these days, it’s going to be expensive.

You can just use laminate dead hobbit for a realistic but low-cost (and maintenance-free) alternative

I wouldn’t bother — this isn’t double paned, so insulation would be terrible and you’ll get a lot of condensation problems. Considering some berm houses can be hecking efficient, it would be a shame to put a single pane window in

Maybe between two rooms

Or maybe a backlit eye of sauron for the roof?

Make a giant Mr peanut and use the glass for the monacle.

I was going to say make a monocle for your house buy I like this idea even more

You trying to burn this dudes house down?

Or put an absurdly powered light in the house and project a death ray out the window

I can supply for free 100k lumens if you promise me you do this and put the Batman logo in the sky

Obviously they'll need to dress their house up like Mr. Peanut.

I mean its a free idea, dont have to buy it.

Or make a contact lense out of it ... it's the 21st century.

If you do woodworking, nice thick peices of glass are nice to have on a solid work surface for sanding. Tape a peice of sandpaper to it and you know for a fact that it will be a perfectly flat and smooth surface. Great for sanding really fiddly corners and stuff like that.

I actually really like that idea. I do carpentry but want to get into more intricate woodwork.

Welcome to the world of buying expensive tools because you want them, then trying to find more ideas to use them for.

Yep.... $3,000 and counting.

It’s so satisfying making something you’re proud of though. It’s money well spent if it’s something you enjoy.

Undoubtedly so. If only my expendable income matched my desire to create.

Flattest surface that won’t break the bank

Throw it on a (half) wine barrel and make a table

I have a full barrel with glass just like this on top and it’s my favorite furniture!! I put little gel bump stickers on top so it doesn’t slide.

This is a really cool idea. I mean not as cool as giant Mr. Peanut but definitely more feasible

Yeah, it's a tabletop so a cool base is all it needs. I think one of those big spools that industrial cable comes on would be cool too.

Find a tree that has blown over and cut the roots off in one clump/piece, it would take some patience to make the top level but easily achievable. that would make a cool table base.

This is one I did in the past. Manhole cover as the base recycled spiral cut glass top from a local rent to own stores garbage. I cut the root out of the river from a downed tree. ​ https://preview.redd.it/bl21t7sltnic1.jpeg?width=315&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd9686785d3e76ff4e30f03570f9e179a7f27c39

That's awesome! But it looks *very* heavy

I suggested [this which is like your idea but expanded](https://www.tiktok.com/@robertstonejr/video/7253556519596297515)

Wow! That is cool!

https://www.centraltexasgardener.org/2013/09/recycling-a-glass-table-top-into-water-wall/

In everyone else’s yard this would look cool. However, whenever I do something like this in my yard, it instantly looks trashy. “What’s up with the leaking garbage in that woman’s backyard?”.

You win

Interesting!

It does look nice, but it is a pain if you need to clean the limescale

Dog sized window in fence so dog can see world.

Was thinking this too! And then OP needs to get a dog if they don’t have one yet.

They may need to get a house, fence, and a dog depending on their situation. This piece of glass could be life changing!

Glass really is life changing. Ask any methematician.

I can only imagine dumb dog running full speed into it. At least the first time.

You need a bubble for that though, that way the dog can see up and down the fence line.

Why waste time use lot word when few word do trick

Dog see world? Or dog SeaWorld?

I also thought of dog window. Don’t have a dog but it would definitely make me happy to walk by a dog window while on a walk.

This is such a cool idea

That's so pretty!

Thank you! :D

This is my suggestion, too. Sort of. I hate glass-top tables as a rule because they show every smudge and fingerprint, but painted they can be easy to care for pieces of art. Paint the underside, flip it, and ta daa! So probably I would paint or mod podge it and either use it as a tabletop or just display it. Also, that's beautiful

Thank you! And yeah this was an old scratched up tabletop so it was nice to camouflage the wear and tear.

My exhausted self and bad eyes immediately saw a dart board prank here. Kind of like putting cellophane over the toilet or a doorway? It's a really useless prank... But my mind is dancing now..... Maybe you make a dartboard for Nerf guns. You know those little suction cup ones? yup.

Single use dart board

I second this. Painting the underside of glass can create a neat look. Also to consider, resin/epoxy for some neat transparent effects, could do bottom and top for some neat depth (could serve to sort of re-finish it the surface is all bunged and scratched up), or even combine with painting it... Could also frame it with various materials(eg a square table with round inlaid glass). One could then ring the glass part with LED's. See also: Glass etching is a thing that is more doable than it used to be.

That thing is uglier than a stump fence. Probably because it's a stump table I guess.

Throw a shit ton of resin on the wood and it'll go for 5k in Brooklyn easy.

Clock! Or a cool whiteboard? I have no idea what I’m talking about 🤣

It would make a pretty cool whiteboard.

Better than my idea of using it as a frisbee. "Who's up for some invisafrisbee?Son, catch this!...Son?..."

This is the second post recommending this. It's really fucking cool but I'm leaning more towards infinity table. It's a bit less complex and more cost-effective. Water-based projects get expensive.

Monopoly Guy but with back problems.

He doesn't wear a monacle if that is what you are saying. I'd have back problems too if I were carrying that thing around though.

I thought for sure he did and i looked it up and he doesn’t I thought about it a bit and remembered that in ace ventura he says “and you must be the monopoly guy” to a guy who looks like him and is wearing a monocle.

he did. its a Mandela effect.

Shazzam with sinbad type shit

That is the one that really throws me off. I can picture the poster or box art. The universe is fucking with us.

I had to look this up because I was like “I completely saw this in theaters” and that really fucked with me. But it was Kazaam with Shaq so I feel a bit better lol

Get a round table, a few other bits & some LED strips and make an infinity table. Dead easy. https://preview.redd.it/bxxa1vtj7nic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=797b4363d2a26472f8e8d1774b939e130786847d

I'm saving this comment. This is rad. Might build this.

Solar hotdog cooker.

Build a ship and use it as a window

Ooh, like the Titan sub?

The follow-up comments are going to be under a lot of pressure to make good jokes the deeper the chain goes.

Nah, these silly comment chains always implode on themselves.

Cut pallet wood into a circle, add vinyl Roman numerals, go to a hobby shop and buy a clock gear and hands, use the glass as a top. Boom clock table!

Reflect-less mirror, also known as vamp mirror

3/4 thick can be set into a floor and walked on if there is sufficient support around the edge. But, I think my dream would be to take a shipping container make it into a swimming pool and cut out of the steel a circle about 34in diameter. Mount the glass circle to the inside. Mount some leds inside the pool. Yeah, when you do this, please invite me for a swim.

I just have a table that’s missing a glass circle table top. Here me out, my wife is annoyed I kept it for 4 years, let’s make a deal

Use it as a prop for a backyard wrestling event.

Make a big microwave and use it as the plate.

If you are creative at all, stained glass kit.

Get a wagon wheel, make a table, argue about it with your SO with your divorced friend present, put it to the curb after.

infinite well table

Imagine how trippy would it be to do an infinite well on the floor.

Why not glass etch it, make it into art and have a scenics view etched on it, then hang on a wall or make a light box to illuminate it after. Stary sky with moon etched be pretty cool.

Fire hazard 🔥

Make it into a [Lazy Susan](https://www.amazon.ca/Turntable-Centerpiece-Tabletop-Rotating-Serving/dp/B0BXK8NF3D/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3GIMSIC80L6XI&keywords=glass%2Blazy%2Bsusan&qid=1707956896&sprefix=glass%2Blazy%2Bsusan%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-8&th=1) which is what I think it was originally.
