Can you cut sheet glass into a 'T' shape?

[miljee]

Need something to go on the (pale stone, textured and impossible to keep clean) hearth below and in front of a domestic inset wood burning stove on fixed, inbuilt legs (ie it cannot be lifted to slide something underneath).

A T shape where the long bit slides in underneath and the cross bit along the 'top' slides in as far as the legs would be ideal..

BUT can glass be cut with internal corners?

I imagine it could, using a glass drill, drill two holes then, with glass cutter two scratches at right angles from each of the holes, you should finish up with a 'T' shape, local glass merchants should be able to do this if you don't feel confident enough to try yourself.

Thanks- so you'd imagine that a glass merchant would have the kit to do this? I wouldn't attempt it myself, but I was wondering if it were actually technically possible to do it!

Glass can be cut to just about any shape.
You will need edges polishing to avoid slicing your fingers when cleaning.
Sounds like a dangerous option for a hearth.

Should also be toughened as well I would have thought. Perhaps a sealer of some kind onto the stone instead might work out better?

Ah, my edges will be 30-odd degrees and the pointy remainder, smoothed.

As for dangerous- well, who'll be fuddicking about in there other than ME? The person who cleans out the soot and ashes?!

Thanks for the advice, all!
