works fine.

(sorry about the crappy diagram).

do any of the members remain visable. Like I said before,

Has anyone tried/can anyone reccomend using a Glazing Strip? - say if it was painted Black...

nothing visible... the glass resting on the cross member is below the grade of the control panel that sits up against it.  The glass is tucked (inserted) between the bezel and the speaker panel at the top.

I basically modeled mine after the SlikStik 27" cab design.  I used the video review of the SlikStik cabinet that K. Steele did to get  the idea of how it was done.

I added another crappy picture to show how the bottom is hidden by the control panel.

hope this helps.

Yes on all counts.  The glass sits in the routed groove above the speaker panel, and is held in place by the routed groove in the hinged top panel.  The top panel 'barrel locks' into position so it is very secure.

I did mine slightly differently:



The glass "sits" on a plywood lip, and is held back against the bezel / frame at the bottom by my removable admin panel:



At the top, it is held in place by the removable speaker panel:



The result is no visible fastners.
