hi,
My house is 90 years old and i recently replaced a sink in an attempt to make a bathroom easier to use.
I have a dilemma. I would like to add a shelf upon which can rest a electric shaver charger and toothbrush charger. Ideally the shelf would be tempered 5x10 with a rail like in the photo - I would buy it but it only comes in a 20" long length. Can I make a shelf and rail like that myself? I can order glass but can i drill it and buy a customizable rail?

In the picture, the distance from the corner to the mirror frame is 8" and from the corner to the electric wall plate is 10".

Any thoughts?
Thanks,

You can just buy the shelf in the picture, and have a new piece of glass made at a glass shop.

The rail in front is almost certainly two vertical posts, with a hole drilled halfway through. And then a floating horizontal rod that just sits in the two pockets. Just cut it shorter.

I don't think you can drill tempered glass. But if you go to a glass shop, I expect its no big deal for them, before tempering. You also have to ask them to polish the edges of the glass.

Something that small, I am not sure it even needs to be tempered, but the glass shop can advise you better on that.

I agree, buy the longer one, go to a glass shop, and tell them that you want to get glass that is sized for your room, and use the hardware from the longer one.

If they are a quality shop, this is an easy request to fill.

.... but you may wish to look for another model of purchased shelf ---- one that has more robust looking wall brackets.

Thanks. This will all be a little bit too complicated for me.. I'll instead be going with a quarter round glass shelf. Something like

Thanks for your advice.

I know...old post. Could have use silicone and glued longer glass shelf to top of tile. No brackets.

Can you send the picture post changes made? May be I can do something like that.
