I've been asked if I can make a glass display cabinet which will double as a coffee table in which the owner can display his beloved millenium falcon, something like this,
Couple of questions,
Toughened glass for the top, but should the side panels also be toughened glass or will ordinary glass be fine?
I was thinking of having the side panels sitting in grooves just as though they were wood panels, any problem with this?
Would like the top glass to sit flush with the wooden surround, can I just sit it in a rebate with some silicone to hold it in place? Is there a better adhesive to use?
Thanks for any input.
