Skyline Glass Coffee Tables

[Cubes]

I was sitting at work today fiddling with CAD and decided that I'm going to make up a few Coffee Table Tops.

They will be around 1200x600 maybe a little bigger if you want and it will be in 12mm Clear Glass or 12mm Grey.

The CNC Machine has a tool that is able to engrave pictures etc in to glass.

SO..

I was thinking about the 'S' Bonnet Emblum on the skyline or even the GTR badge to be engraved in to the glass on the bottom side so that the top is smooth but it can be seen from the top.

It gives a type of sandblasted effect that is around 1.5-2mm wide.

A Mate of mine has recently done a table with a Tickford sign engraved for his self and it turned out unbelievable. Looked excellent.

So who would be interested?

Hit me with some ideas with what picture/s we could use on the coffee table.

I got a quick quote and with the table having a nice OG Edge which is similiar to the bottom edge of the glass having a lip then it smooths in to the glass.

It will be no more than $200 depending if you go for clear/grey and the type of edge work you want.

Obviously a Flat smooth edge is quite a bit cheaper but doesn't look any where near as good.

It sounds expensive but it looks great and the glass can also be Toughened if you like.

I don't know how we will go for copyright here but any suggestions?

I'm going to fiddle around with a few pictures that I have of the Rear of my Skyline and see if i can get it looking any good on a test piece of glass.

I'm obviously not going to pump out a huge amount of these things as I'm saying there for Family/Friends so basically they are just for a few of the blokes in Adelaide, SAU/SDU.

I'll post how much people off the street get charged tomorrow, just for a comparison.

Speaking of coffee tables heres one i prepared earlier.

Just kidding, I made this at school last term, pity I didnt get on the forums sooner I could have had my glass engraved.

I got my glass from B&M at charles st unley, it was only $15 for the 6mm bit in that table. You should try there if you need glass, they have all thicknesses and colours.

I reckon the 'S' symbol would be good, ive got a crappy shot of the one on my car, its a bit dirty but ok. Ill put it up too.

6mm is pretty cheap but the type of coffee table that i am talking about has no edges that is why edgework is required which is an OG Edge it looks very nice ..

How can i explain it.

It is an oval shape that is 12mm thick and has a ......

I'll post a rough pic of the edgework.

The reason why it is so expensive is the time that is taken to do the work.. if you want a normal flat edge or round edge then it would be considerably cheaper as the OG edge looks excellent but takes a long time.

Also I am able to use any glass the thinner the cheaper.

Anything is possible except an OG edge on any thickness except 12mm.

I know the sort of thing you mean, one of the guys at school is making a table with only glass on top. Also taht piece in my table is only 650x350mm, pretty small, but i got it at about 1/3 price cos we get all the glass for tech through that place.

damnnn cant remebr what else you wrote. anyway sounds like a good idea, so good luck.
