Wow those turned out great. I'd love to learn how to do this as I want to add glass inserts to some of my kitchen cabinet doors. I think it would be easier to just make new doors but I don't have all the right equipment.

Hi. Nice video. This is very helpful as I am planning to make a simple kitchen cabinet with the acrylic plastic in mind as well. My only concern is how to make those tongue and groove for a clean assembly. I have a circular saw but it would require to make a table for it first to achieve the TNG. Thanks for the video. Shalom

Great to see you used tongue and groove joints. I was only wondering what do you do if a glass that sits in a groove breaks? All the best. I’ve hit like.

Great jog.

Great video, very ilustrative. In your opinión is the plexiglass good mimiking the real glass in a kitchen cabinet or a pass through window? Where can be bought?

Nice job! thanks for posting! no need for silicon to hold the glass inside the wood frame? 5mm glass thickness?

I was worried that the blue film would stick and be hard to extract from the grooves. Guess not! Also interesting nook in the background with the compressor above the fridge!

There are solutions that you can wipe it down with that will cut down on the static, I’m sure it’s probably something easy to mix up.

Hi Bro, what you think if placing a piece of architectural woven wire mesh behind the glass?

Do you have a video on various types of clamps and when to use which ones?

much fun sanding? only if we have that type of sander. Loll

very nice! thanks! I’ll definitely struggle to not peel the protective sticker off too early ;P BTW does the sticker edge peel out of the frame groove easily?

Eggzaklie. I plan to add glass to my existing cabinets. Plexiglass is not likely to break, but it may degrade over time with cooking right next to it, become cloudy and unclean able like real glass. But plexiglass is cheaper. I plan to clip the glass to the inside of the cabinet like a picture frame. So I can replace or upgrade. No one has done it this way on KZread so I'll have to wing it. Google glass door retainer clips to see what I mean.

Typically, they come with instructions that dictate their exact position for proper function. Having said that, most require the 35mm hole to be back 3mm from the edge, or 20.5mm to the center of the 35mm hole.

You are not wrong!

Great video, but when you peel off the protective film right at the end, surely it leaves some residual (and visible) film? The glass & its film extend into the concealed grooves, so it’s not just a case of removing the visible film: there’s the film on the concealed glass as well. Doesn’t the film tear, during its removal? If not then how on earth does the whole piece come off so cleanly??

Well done. I have a question about the plexiglass. Is it easy to clean without scratching it up? If so, what do you use to keep it clean? Thanks.

Plexi glass scratches very easily, costs about the same price as glass and will sag over time if it's very tall and doesn't have a good overlap of wood around the sides. The worst thing about plexi-glass is it attracts static. I'm an artist & picture frame and do my best to avoid plexi-glass.

Nice cabinet. How to replace if glass breaks?
