| cutting cocktail table top |

| rchadd:
the grey tinted glass has finally arrived for my custom coctail cab - the glass looks great and not too dark tint i am wondering about cutting the table top out of the wood. should it be the same size as the glass, or slightly smaller (to account for the width of the tmolding? wont the glass clips not fit right if its same size? |
| paigeoliver:
t-molding has little actual width and the glass clips give you a little flex as well. I would suggest cutting it the exact same size so your t-molding pokes out that 1/16" farther, and thus gets hit before the glass does. |
| whammoed:
Yes, the top should be the same size as the glass. Clips still work with the ~1/16" gap |
| Tilzs:
ditto! what they said |
| danny_galaga:
exactly the same size is what i did, but afterwards i wondered if maybe the glass should have been maybe 1mm bigger all round. the reason being that you can see a fraction under the beveled edge of the glass: _______ / l glass top \______ l l table top l l but what paigeoliver says about hitting the t-molding first before the glass is a more important consideration so i'm glad that's what i did ;D |
