i dont have any links but i have an idea on how to make it work

the window will have two peices of plexiglass one inside, one outside, flush with the wood

i'm thinkin 2 peices of plexi 1/4in thick, so it would be 1/4 of plexi 1/4 of wood, and 1/4 of plexi

wiht a sealent between then and screws for extra grip

So your going two pieces of 1/4" plexi with a 1/4" air gap in between. Not a good idea. It's not going to last very long //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i would make it a solid piece. and make sure it is in there tight. windows rattle easily

I still say a 1/4" two pieces or one, isn't strong enough for the intended application //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There is a big strength difference between one piece 1/2" thick as opposed to the two 1/4" thick pieces you posted above. I would still go 3/4" just to be safe. But as always brother man that just MHO //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

we will get it done where it works, and is not going to break. i dont want that. im trying to get a good rep with box building so i dont want my prducts to be shoddy work. also, its not a square its a design, smaller than that window. so strength will be added there as well.
