Step 3Deconstruction
Tools:
Tape Measure
Dremel
Hair Dryer
Iron
Towel
Flat head screw driver
Materials:
Glass Hinges and Pulls
I started by test fitting the hinges and pulls. The first thing I realized is that they were not going to fit without removing some material from the top board. I cut the edging that was on the inside of the table (where the glass was) and then heated it up with the hair dryer and pried it off with a flat head screw driver. I then had to Dremel out the wood just a little bit more to fit the hinges. To make sure there was enough support I decided to put in three hinges.
Next I needed to remove the edging from the long edges of the board (but leave on the end caps). The Iron + towel served this job much better than the hair dryer. There was a little over hang from the edging on the short side that I just zipped off with the Dremel.
