How do you attach a glass table top to a nontraditional base?
My husband and I have had the idea to create a dining table by using a large barrel with a glass table top. How would you attach the glass to the barrel?
There are some things to consider.
The table top should be tempered glass and thick enough to be safe.
It should be in proportion to the base of the barrel--if it is to wide it will tip easily when leaned on, etc. If you want something that will seat more than 4 people, you should consider 2 barrels and an oval cut piece of glass. You will need to be sure that it is tall enough for chairs to fit under also.
I don't think you would want to see Gorilla Glue through the top of your table
Try getting some good clear tubing that is about the same size as a garden hose--it will need to be the thick walled type. It should be about 1/2 inch shorter than the circumference of the top of the barrel.
Cut a continuous slit in the tubing and slide the tubing onto the top rim of the barrel. This will cause a non slip surface for the top to rest on.
Securing it at the floor level to keep the barrel from tipping
is also something to think about and can be done with wooden braces attached at compass points to the barrel.
Hope this helps.

A dining table is an essential piece of furniture for any house. They possess the ability to completely transform the look and feel of a house or apartment. As the centrepiece of the room, the color, shape and design play a big part in changing a house into a home!
The most common styles of dining tables are traditional solid wood dining tables, glass top dining tables and contemporary or modem styles. Each of these has an almost unlimited potential for design variations, which can result in a design which is truly unique. Wooden dining tables can often be bought at local furniture makers and wood turners, who create designs at your request. Yet another variation on these more traditional dining tables is the bracing between the table top and the legs. These can be created in any size, so long as it is still practical, and in any design. Bracing is often a defining point of a a table design, with many tables having incredibly beautiful braces. As a whole, the table top, legs and bracing can be stained to a large amount of colors to perfectly match your dining room, house and other furniture.
Dining tables with glass tops, chrome legs and contemporary designs are much better suited to modern style homes. Glass top dining tables are often very easy to scratch, so are not really a good option for families with young children. Also, they require a great deal of care so if this does not sound like you, you should probably look at another option.
A dining table has the ability to completely transform a home. Be sure to look around, and match the perfect table to your home.
