I've been making a pair of humidors for some friends, and I've constructed them to have glass tops. I'm mostly finished with the first one, and for the top in that I mitered the four sides and then cut a slot for the glass in it. (picture of the top (http://www.voidsmith.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=26642)) However when in the process of glueing it up I managed to crack the glass. Not to big a deal, I pulled it apart put a new piece in, and finished gluing it up being a bit more careful. However it occurred to me that if the glass breaks at some point in the future I won't be able to replace it.
So for the second humidor was wondering if there would be a better way to do it. I've considered just making a rabbit in the back of the top and putting the glass in with some glazing points jsut like in a regualr window, but then I'd have to make up some trim to cover it, which I wasn't thrilled about.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what the best way to go about this is? Keeping in mind that I'd like the glass to be airtight?
