Semi-invisible Surround Sound Speaker Shelves

Step 2 Making the Shelves

Once all five pieces of glass were cut, the hardest part is over and assembly can begin. Building the shelves is relatively easy, implying you know how to use gorilla glue.

Assembly Part 1:

• Apply a very small amount of Gorilla Glue to the inside of the L-Bracket.
• Center the piece of glass on the L-Bracket.

-Make sure the bottom hole of the L-Bracket lines up with the bottom hole of the outlet blank.

• Press them together firmly.
• Place the pieces in a vice for drying.

Once the two pieces are done drying they should look something like the picture below.

Assembly Part 2:
The next steps are almost the same as the previous ones.

• Apply a little Gorilla Glue to the outside of the L-Bracket.
• Firmly press the L-Bracket the the outlet blank.

Although I didn't do this it is probably advisable to place a small piece of wood inside the outlet blank and clamp the whole assembly in a vise.

The final assembly step:
*I drove a screw that came with the L-Bracket through the free hole on the L-Bracket and then glued it more. I know Gorilla glue is strong but I trust a mechanical bond more.

Is the blank plate really necessary? Could the L brackets not just be screwed straight in to some wall plugs in the wall?
