mailing glass

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I mailed a mk1 windshield to the turn-signal lady, Kirsten.

Seeing as mk1 windshields are going the way of the dinosaur, I built a box out 
of some old shelving material I had and bought a 4x8 of press-board for the 
sides to help keep weight down. Used lots of foam and plastic shopping bags for 
insulation.

I would definitely charge more the next time I decide to do something so 
foolish!  :)

I have a picture of the crate (though I can't remember the URL right now...)
