Glass work – progress photos

Finished. Next step is to create a base/stand.

Credit to Cobi for suggesting wire to suspend the glass panels and pointing out that the lines of the wire may not detract. My brother-in-law for the suggestion of mesh. And Jane for suggesting leaving most of the mesh intact, pointing out that the regularity of the mesh could be less distracting than more random lines if more was removed. Also the mesh has provided reinforcement to the frame so the whole thing is much more solid and stable than I anticipated.

Wire frames for glass and fixing to mesh

Substrate to attach glass to is a 25mm aperture mesh. Section cur out to allow larger apertures for glass panels. Mesh is stapled to the back of the frame.

Found frames (from Reverse Garbage in Marrickville).

Initial arrangements – settled on A2. Partly due to considerations about the weight of the glass and structural integrity of the frame without reinforcement. It also keeps the works smaller and more intimate
