Welcome to the forum, Freddy.

I am afraid I cannot visualize what you are trying to achieve.

140 x140 x 2 cm glass would be very heavy?

 

I think glass that thick (2cm or about .79 inches) is going to weigh about 10 lbs. per square foot. The size (140 cm square) is about 21 square feet, so the glass top is going to be a whopping 210 lbs or so! Some very sturdy support and helpers are going to be required for this project. :blink:

 

Freddy, Welcome to the Router Forums. We are glad to have you as a member!

There is no "absolutely correct proportion" of length to width for any of the 10- numerical characters, when you consider the possibility that there are literally hundreds of fonts available. Same goes for the 26- alphabetical characters. Different "fonts" do this in varying proportions.

Here's an easy way to determine what you need:
1. Choose a "font" that you like or prefer. Use one that you can print from your computer. Programs such as "Word", "Excel", "Word Perfect", etc. make changing fonts quite easy.
2. Printout the number seven in the font of your choice.
3. Feed your printer some graph paper and print the "7" as large as possible that will fit on your graph paper.
4. Measure your printed page's "7", and everything you need should be right there!

Let me know if this is not feasible in your situation, and I will be happy to help with this. I use several programs with font options and will be glad to make some test pages for you. I can "overlay" a graph in the pages also - so there is no need for an enlarging copy machine - but you will need a decent printer. Good luck, and simply add to this thread and I will check it periodically to verify if my making some sketches can help!

 

Hello OPG3... thanks

Your recommendation was the first I take into account but didn't try different fonts. I also went into the web looking for number options. I found that the name of the numbers came for the number of angles they have. But nothing clear about the shape, now I understand a reason, it could be due for what you mention about the font type.

Thank you very much for your suggestion, I will try it more in depth.

Regards,
Benito

 

Freddy,
You are very welcome, and please let me know if you need further help.

 

Welcome Freddy.

Other beyond the Intro, should really be moved to a thread of it's own, but:

Draw it out and eyeball it. I can visualized it with "7" on each end rotated from each other. In this font, it's 60 degrees, with thwe open side corners at 90 and 30... Different fonts are going to change that, especially since you want the angle to point to the other side...

EDIT-- Sort of like this? (attached)

 

Hola, Benito.

Como estas? Que tal San Antonio de los Altos?

Bienvenido a este foro. Yo tambien soy venezolano. Vivo en Puerto La Cruz pero estoy fuera por motivos de trabajo.

Muy interesante tu proyecto de mesa. Por que tiene que ser un par de 7 los que soporten el peso del vidrio?

Saludos.
