Title: WANTED: glass clips (or suggestions on how to fix 1/4" glass to 1" cocktail top)
Post by: destr0y on September 30, 2007, 08:21:59 pm
G'day all,

I'm in the final throes of putting together my first cocktail cabinet, and am looking for some clips to fasten my glass tabletop to the cabinet..  I haven't bought the glass yet, but assume I'll be going with 1/4" thick glass.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  or perhaps suggest another way to fasten the glass to the table top?

Cheers,
Brett

You can make your own clips out of "L" metal that I'm sure you could find at your local hardware store. Cut the metal in two or three inch lengths and screw one end into your cab and the other will rest on the glass.

This is the easy way and less expensive but it works very well if you make it look nice. This is how i install glass in many applications.

Industrial Strength Velcro is another option. The wide(2"?) black variety.

Do you need 1 1/4" overall? Or just 1" total?

Its just on 30mm all up, so yeah, 1 1/14" would nail it nicely..!

I made a bunch of 1 1/4" but nobody ended up wanting them  :hissy:

PM me if you are interested.

for anyone else chasing these clips, Arcade Depot also sell a black anodized version for $39 + postage.  I'm buying one set from here also - whichever set of clips doesn't suit the current cab, will undoubtedly get used on my next cab :P
