The TV Cabinet's Glass has Arrived!

It's here it's here! Hooray! Ok, so I measured up and bought the glass for the TV Cabinet's top. After that it's been a very simple job of cutting to size and screwing in a piece of wood that will run down the middle of the cabinet, just underneath the glass. Now the cabinet has a much better level of rigidity, and we can start to see how this thing is going to shape up.







The glass that I bought was clear (as you can see) as clear glass is substantially cheaper than frosted glass. Later we'll put some frosting contact that we'll get from Sal's dad's business, and that will frost it up nicely for us, whilst still being much cheaper than buying frosted glass up front.
Next job is cut down the top drawer so it'll fit under that cross-piece of wood, finish the top drawer off, then it's on to prettying-up measures like puttying and staining.

Cyas, Bob
