What are you going to do on this 2 x 3 ft lightbox? That will determine how
thick. and how it's built can determine that too.
Mine is 42 x 52 and is 3/16 tempered, but the edges are dropped so the glass
is level with the wood, and is mortised into a piece of 3/4" plywood, I do
what I want on it. The size was determined by what the glass shop had as a
scratched/misorder piece. That is one direction, see what you can get cheap
in 3/16 tempered, 1/2 in in annealed glass is overkill, 1/4' at most unless
you want to use it as a step stool.
