sup /diy/? i'm looking to build a glass and steel panel

>>1165750
a bunch of glass cut to size, some metal frame with screws to hold a frame holding the glass panels in place, it is like a bunch of picture frames just a big one and all connected

ya i got that far. so do you use T-profiles? what frame do you use for the glass, a smaller L?

you're not of much help if you're just guessing, i have a pretty vivid imagination myself. i'd rather see some proven working solutions

Not OP, but was thinking about something like this. What would be the downside of using an acrylic sheet as opposed to glass? I figure if I can get a large enough sheet I could just use tools I have at home to cut it myself

now imagine you go fuck yourself with some T profiles

acrylic sheets are soft so easily scratched, also will not look as good because it tends to wobble, also may not be UV stable

If you want to do it right there is a lot of welding in it. I have made similar frames for interior decorators, and we made them out of square tubing with angle iron to hold the glass. Lots of cutting, lots of welding and a lot of measuring if you want it sort of straight.

You need to have a few vertical structural members (analogues to 2x4s in a wall), and you will need a header above that door.

Glass is sensitive to deflection. Someone could lean on that wall or slam the door.
