Thanks for the write-up! I was actually just wondering about the best way to approach this the other day.

I can custom build anything. Let me know what you need and I'll get you a price. This was actually part of an order for 4 panels with plexiglass.

I knew about this method before and it's rock solid. The funny part was I saw this on DIY network a day or two ago and was like "oh yeah" and then you posted it too! Damn dejavuuuu.
