Hey great video guys! Love the Milwaukee m18s. You guys do really great work. Glass panel came out great! Especially with the angle, very instructional.
Great video Jeff, good explanation for a tough angle to fit with glass.
why you don't have to fasten the base of the channel? Thank you
You only used screws to secure the channel along the wall, not the base. Just want to confirm that the use of silicone along the base is sufficient to secure along the bottom ?
Why did you not secure with screws/plugs or screws into wood the bottom of the glass to the marble slab and only applied silicon?
Really good video.
Wow! genius. you just created a dangerous hinged glass panel. No fasteners in the bottom? when someone leans on it, the silicone breaks loose from the marble and creates a pivot point for the glass to break or come off the wall. Heres the answer, "Hire a local licensed C-17 glazing contractor" Do not attempt to install glass unless you are well qualified.
Great video!! What type of glass did you use?
So is vinyl glazing unnecessary?? Why are there so many sites saying you need vinyl glazing??
What glass can I buy to create custom shower walls and doors myself. Looked into tempered but to my disappointment I found I can't cut tempered glass… Please HELP!
