- However, this appears to requires a Glass Bar, which is not possible to create at the current time.
I'll have to double check this when I get back to the machine with dwarf fortress on it - but I seem to recall being able to make 'raw glass' which made a glass block. I would also suggest changing the redirect for glass to gem - there is a significant amount of material that is unique to glass that is not appropriate for gems in general. --Shagie 03:22, 10 November 2007 (EST)
