    2. Apply a coat of primer to the cut pieces.

    3. After allowing the primer to dry, chop ends to length on a miter saw.

    4. Measure and mark the opening so the glass piece sits in the center (figure B).

    5. Place first set of trim pieces in opening. Nail into place (figure C).

    6. Set cut glass piece against trim pieces (figure D).

    7. Nail second set of trim pieces on the other side of glass to secure into place (figure E).
