I had some pieces of flame birch left over and decided to do a little experiment with them. P.S. please don’t tell my wife I used the stove to make sure the legs were all on the same plane |

How permanent a fixing do you want? If the table is never going to be moved, I would use the clear bumpers Jonathan mentioned, the top simply sits on and the bumpers have a good enough grip that the glass will not move from minor knocks. I’m not sure about the silicone because it’s never crystal clear – you might make a mess cleaning up the excess as well. There’s this product too; http://www.amazon.com/Quakehold-33111-Museum-Gel-Clear/dp/B0002V37XY Whatever you decide, it would be best to try it first on a test piece. Dan Mosheim posted a great table here – maybe you could ask him. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/56597 -- Never trust a man in winklepickers |

You could let the glass just sit on the silicone. The silicone will actually attach the glass unless you let the drop cure for about a week before putting the glass on it. When you do put the glass on the silicone, sprinkle a bit of flour on the silicone, just to make sure it doesn’t stick. Nice looking pile of sticks you got there. -- Failure does not stop me, it makes me try harder..... because I'm crazy. |

I have used LEXCEL clear caulk for attaching glass to wood for over 25 years. Far better than silicone! It is extremely clear and does not peel out in a strip like silicone will after some time. It has some stretch to it after it dries. -- Fine Custom Woodwork since 1978 |

Thanks for the advice, I like the look of the square cut corners too much to cut them off to support the glass…Thinking about a small glue block on the inside of the legs to support glass. |
