Floating Glass Shelves

I have four – 30”x10”x1/4” tempered glass. Somewhere I saw a way to suspend these using one or two hardwood strips but can’t find anything on the internet.

It would be somewhat like this picture.

Disc Sander Loosens

Older aluminum disc. I tighten the set screw and tweak it thrice but it loosens. The setscrew is flat bottomed in good condition. Suggestions? I have different set screws.

Re: HDPE or Masonite for zero clearance insert?

I picked up some "thrown away" laminate flooring a few years ago. I sometimes see a box really cheap at a thrift store. one too wide long strip cut for easy sanding. I used the disc sander, vertical to get the right width. Then cut the width to size and then the ends, holes drilled and tap...
