Make sure there's enough cross beams to support the thickness of glass to avoid hospital trips if you elevate it off the ply. The top of the framework edge should be routed out to fit the glass slightly sunk, with minimal tolerance around the edges. (The cross beams should also be flush to this beveled depth.) Alot of glass coffee tables use the same technique... The height of the framework from the ply will determine if you put your stickers or mugs under the glass... The bar rail should overlap the front edge of the glass if possible, or be extremely flush. All the edges need sealed well or spills will turn into bleeding and cleaning messes. I'm sure there are several other good tricks too- This just happens to be one I've considered... :) Aarrrgh!! -Skully The Lost Resort [ Edited by: Capt'n Skully 2005-07-28 18:32 ]
