Hi Chris,

I like the clock, great work. :thumbup: Could you not have a couple of arms come off each pillar to add extra support?

Thanks mate, do you really think I`ll need it?

Is the general consensus that my two screws won`t be enough?
sjb:
Hi Chris,

I think your M3 screws will be fine, I have a set of wall lights in my dining room where the glass is supported by a similar arangement. A small plastic O ring protects the glass from overtightening the nut.

The idea of the arms on the pillars was just in case you found it a bit wibbly wobbly in a side to side way if that makes sense.

Actually, if the glass is as thick as Chris says, I think its the M3 that are more likely to fail than the glass

Sorry guys, I missed your two replies! Each sheet wasn`t very heavy, now as rim it will be even lighter but I must admit I am still concerned. Too late now, I pick the glass up tonight so I`m looking forward to mounting it on my clock this evening!! I was very impressed, he told me to bring in a couple of sheets just incase it broke in the process but apparently it went just fine and they have done all three for me!! :-D   I collect them this evening after work so I`ll post photos tonight.

I`ve then got to think about what markings I want on the face. I have considered just simple line divisions but think it might look a bit harsh. Frosted etching would look good and we`ve just had delivery of a laSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSer cutter at work   :)
