Wayne, take a closer look. It appears that there are two live-edge slabs that sandwich the glass. What I want to know is how he would change the glass if it ever got broken.

Thanks for your compliments guys. I appreciate it.
The live edge glass dado was accomplished with a mortising bit on a press.
We clamped the board on its side a just made one cut at a time and then moved it for the next cut. The live edge board is in fact 2" stock.
The square sides of the doors and side lights have regular (18g pins to hold them)glazing strips on the interior side to remove glass if ever needed.
The folding doors use a system from a company called the DS Group.
These particular doors use the E3 Eclipse system. All seals hinges slides etc come in a pkg depending on your requirements.

Yesterday I finished sanded a little 500 sqft 2nd growth fir floor. I used a drum sander mostly.
However the cool thing was I borrowed a friends 6" Rotex sander snd used it to do all my edge sanding. That sander is outstanding!
I'm buying one next week. A real wood hog.
*note this tool I for aggressive stock removal in my opinion. The thing has a real delicate balance point or it bucks like a horse. Not an everyday finish sander. If we had tried to use the ets 150 I'd still be there edging now.*
A great example of festool making money for the end user.
It costs 75.00 to rent the edge sander for the day and the sand paper is 6.00 a piece
I saved a hundred dollars yesterday.
And the ct36 made clean up and prep for applying urethane too easy!
Love it when tools make me money!
Festimes=good times

That depends on how you hold it. The best way to find and keep the balance is to hold it NOT by the grip, but back by the Plug-It connector and DE hose connector. You'll find it much easier to control. You might also want to watch this video. Larry doesn't hold it back by the Plug-It connector, but give it a try.
