Title: Where to find glass clips/retainers for cocktail cab ?
Post by: Cornholio72 on July 18, 2002, 04:24:33 am

I am almost finished with my cocktail cabinet, but just need a couple more things.  The hardest thing I can't find is the glass clps that are used to hold the glass to the wood for the top of the table.

Any ideas or links on where I can find these?  I would preferably like the ones that attach on the corners and they should be 1" in size ( 3/4" MDF + 1/4" glass )

Thx - Corn

All the clips that I have seen are for 1-1/4 thick tops (1" thick top + 1/4 thick glass).  Thats the standard thickness for a real cocktail.

Yeah, you can get cocktail glass clips from a couple of the usual parts suppliers:

...but like jelloslug said, they will be for 1.25" thick, just how cocktail tops are supposed to be.  If you made yours a non-standard size, then you will probably have to make your own, as done on this project:  http://www.skum.org/gemini/finish.htm
