I've got a couple of nice panes of glass and a few old kitchen cupboard shelves.  It will be a good exercise for me building cold frames out of it all one day.  The main problems I foresee with this is that the wood is not the same width and length as the glass although not far off, and also that  I would want the glass top to be on a slightly downward slope so the side pieces would need to be sawed at a angle...  Tricky!  :unsure:

Yep....but once you've worked it all out and it's ready for action just think how proud you'll be of it and it'll cost you next to nothing apart from a bit of your time  ;)

Good luck!

I know of no other sawing technique; nothing tricky about it!  :tongue2:  :lol:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
