[TheForge] Fireplace glass

[Larry Brown]

I would check the mounting all around the glass to make sure one side isn't 
screwed. If not grind or otherwise remove welds or rivets, make a template 
from the glass and find a fire place supply to send the template out to get 
you a piece of glass. If there is no gasket around the glass this may be 
why it broke
When reattaching use screws if possible
