No, those prices were not tempered. I found the same glass, tempered, for $50 at one shop and $70 at another.
I'm attaching two drawings of my latest design. It's still not finished, but you could give your thoughts on what I've done so far.
- I made the rails 3"
- The tabletop overhangs 1 1/8" which puts the 3" 1x's on the tabletop frame centered on the apron rails. Note, there is no overhang in the back, where the mirror attaches and will butt up against the wall.
- The top is mitered in front, but has butt joints in the back, to keep the lines of the mitered corner from interfering with the mirror lines.
- Also to keep the lines in the top from interfering, I have made two examples. One has a small back rail which sticks out past the mirror. The other looks better to me, but I'm not sure about how to build it, or if it will support the glass correctly. I've also provided a back view for this.
- I am still on the fence about the mirror size. It seems very overpowering, but it is kind of the amount of mirror space I want. Any ideas?
