But I think the mine should produce some kind of raw salt that needs refining before becoming usable, maybe boil into a brine and then put into a tanning tub and wait a day or more for it to dry. Those Tubs are already equipped to handle fluids so this gets you a new usage for them without too much extra objects.
As for glass, I also agree that some cruddy low quality glass should be the initial result, but then we can refine that several times to get up to pure crystal glass (with real lead maybe). The whole process by which we make boards now would actually make a lot more sense in glass because you really CAN remelt glass forever, where as a wooden board is eventually going to be turned entire into shavings if you keep Planing it. Of course your going to expend a lot of fuel in remelting glass.
Tbh i think it should make some kind of raw dirty ****** salt that when you boil in a pot becomes coarse salt.
BUT make all recipes with salt need grain salt, like the salt we use today. And make a new tool which would be made from i guess an iron bar and some wood to grind the salt into refined grain salt, which would act like flour, or simply said, recipes should require a certain amount of salt, for example a sunday steak should need 0.10 kg salt, while popcorn should need about 0.30.
My thoughts about the glass are that it should be craftable in a time consuming, fuel burning process, which would end up making glass making just as troubling as spending lots of silver on actual stall-bought glass.
