Hi ths is just a bit of investigation work first, I am not really concerned about the ply wood side of things but just the glass.

I am thinking of a 8'x4.5'x4' yip thats right LxHxD. Now we all know we cannot or should I say advised not to go over 3 ft with glass because of bowing and then breaking point because of pressure load. What is stopping me using 4 pieces of glass 10mlx4'x2thick with a thickish 4"x4" cross beam Left to right and top to bottom centre.

Question
#1. would 10ml be thick enough If not what thickness
#2. if this is too much pressure on any thickness would reducing the glass to10mlx3'x2'
 
Okay stole one off google sketch and copied 2 of them so sorry if it dont look right but the idea can be seen, The wood work will be different to this but its more the glass i need advice on is 10ml gonna be thick enough.


Oops the attachment didnt work
