You miss my point, or maybe I wasn't being clear. Making beer in commercial
quantities is an industrial process so is making film. Making glass plates is
a hobby, (or would be if I were considerably more masochistic than I actually am),
so is making beer in your basement. Why in the world would I make my own glass,
do you grow your own wheat?

Well, no, not even close.

But if you want to come closer to what making film is like, maybe you will
be making your own glass as well?

Also, glass plates are not film, and are pretty useless to people who want
to shoot more than 5 pictures a day.
