How do they bevel glass? Do they grind it somehow with a machine? I can picture someone with a sander gringing it down, but I image it is more complicated than that.

I've seen it done with water. They put the glass on a big table and program into the computer what design they want. The computer guides the water jet etcher and you have beveled glass.

That sounds very high tech. I wonder how they did it before computers.

I'm not sure, maybe they did it in a mold when they made the glass.

I love the idea of installing a pedestal sink but I'm worried that I'll lose too much bathroom storage space. Any bathroom storage ideas that would help me make my decision easier?
