How do you attach a glass table top to a nontraditional base?
My husband and I have had the idea to create a dining table by using a large barrel with a glass table top. How would you attach the glass to the barrel?
There are some things to consider.
The table top should be tempered glass and thick enough to be safe.
It should be in proportion to the base of the barrel--if it is to wide it will tip easily when leaned on, etc. If you want something that will seat more than 4 people, you should consider 2 barrels and an oval cut piece of glass. You will need to be sure that it is tall enough for chairs to fit under also.
I don't think you would want to see Gorilla Glue through the top of your table
Try getting some good clear tubing that is about the same size as a garden hose--it will need to be the thick walled type. It should be about 1/2 inch shorter than the circumference of the top of the barrel.
Cut a continuous slit in the tubing and slide the tubing onto the top rim of the barrel. This will cause a non slip surface for the top to rest on.
Securing it at the floor level to keep the barrel from tipping
is also something to think about and can be done with wooden braces attached at compass points to the barrel.
Hope this helps.
