ashish home | projects | blog 12 posts in 506 days 505 days ago	Topic tags/keywords: oak modern question dining table I am planning on building a dining table with a glass inset. The glass is about 30” by 59” and 5/8” thick. I am planning on building a frame to hold the glass (with a reveal cut with a dado) from solid red oak, with the dado being 5/8” deep for a flush finish, and 1” wide to hold the weight. Now the question I have is: I am planning to use 1” thick wood. Is it ok? Will it hold? -- Ashish, Mississauga, Canada ( http://www.powertoolexchange.com )

You might also want to bevel the edge of the glass. That way you can leave it proud of the top. -- Scott - Chico California http://chicowoodnut.home.comcast.net
ashish home | projects | blog 12 posts in 506 days 505 days ago	Well, I got the glass from Ikea…. un-bevelled.. So I have to plan around that…. Putting like a 1” thick 2 ” wide strip should do it u think? Or maybe I start the apron there that supports the frame and holds the legs? The oak is 4” wide for the frame (including width for the reveal)... -- Ashish, Mississauga, Canada ( http://www.powertoolexchange.com )
