Any examples of installing monitor glass/plexi?

(1/5) > >>

crashwg:
I'm comming to the part of my project where I need to know how I'm going to mount the glass in front of my cab and I'm not quite sure how I will mount it.

Any examples will do... pictures, drawings even a description.

Someone has to have input on this subject...  :-\

I don't have any good pictures of that part of my cab - I'll have to take some.  I'll try to put into words what I did:

- I went with clear glass (some like smoked glass), 1/4 inch thick.  A 30"x24" sheet was about $30

- On the left and right side of my cabinet, the  montior opening space, I put two stips of 1x1 wood (painted black).  The wood is recessed from the front edge of the cab by a touch more than 1/4".  The glass "rests" on these strips of wood, so that the glass is almost flush with the side of the cab.  If you want the glass recessed a bit, just install the wood strips a bit deeper into the cab.

- On the bottom, I have wood that the glass rests on as well.  You could do a similar recessed wood strip thing.  I got a U shapped clear plastic channel thing from Home Depor (it is reaklly a rope light holder), I put that on top of the wood on the bottom and the glass slides down into it (into the open part of the U).  

- On the top I have nothing, there is a 1/4" gap between the underneath of my marquee box (where some of the speakers are) and the cab - so to install the glass I push it up into this gap about 1 inch and then slide it down into the U channel on the bottom.  To remove it to clean or whatever, just slide it up a bit and pop it out.

Probably not exactly what you want, since I went for quite a unique method, but there are a couple of pics and text on how I did mine:

(have not actually bought/installed the glass yet tho  ::) )

Santoro:
I used angle iron on the sides of the cab with magnetic tape on the glass.  The glass rests on MDF on the bottom.  If I had it to over again I would probably use velcro - the magnetic tape didn't adhere very well.
