My wife bought some outdoor furniture for our back patio, and yours truly was delegated the task of assembly, which I dutifully carried out. However, during the unboxing I inadvertently dropped the glass top to the table, which proceeded to shatter on the garage floor! I told her not to worry, I can make you one. At first I was just going to cut a 1/2 plywood panel and call it job done, but after cutting it to size I thought, hmmm, I can do something with this and the results are pictured below. After staining the surface I engraved what you see, filled with Epoxy Resin, prepped the surface and finished with clear coat resin. She loved it - I’m off the hook and not counting the cure times for the resin it only took an afternoon’s work. ![TableTop 1](https://forum.sienci.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/730556d826a61df10d8d2c6a8e0541f8ae305fe4.jpeg) ![TableTop 2](https://forum.sienci.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7209d8c5c21fd2570cecc8c1e04c169fde7ffaa4.jpeg) ![TableTop 3](https://forum.sienci.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9ba63d3729392705bffdeb5c1b4264d235e581ff.jpeg) ---

First, I thought there would be a new glass top 😛 Well done! ---

Beautiful work! May I ask how you did the project? I assume you cut the dimensions up so it would carve in multiple files or were you able to do that all in one shot? ---

Thanks, and yes you may. I use VCarve Desktop and I did seperate the Monogram, verse and flourishes, but I could have combined them. Here’s my VCarve file so you can check it out. [H Monogram Table Top.crv](https://forum.sienci.com/uploads/short-url/6P1MKlxCWFmManj1FTZRcT9Logq.crv) (2.5 MB) ---

My wife got one of those too, so I spent part of the day yesterday assembling. Had to get a tap to clear out a few inserts that had weld spatter. Didn’t break the top yet but good to have backup!!! ---

If you have a Diamond bit, you can do an engraving on it that could make it special.
