There are 2 ways you can go about the glass, maybe more when others chime in.

The quick and easy way would be to route a channel on the back of the wood frame, 1/4" to 1/2". Set the glass in the channel, and use staples or finish nails to hold the glass in place, much like a picture frame. There are other available options for keeping the glass in place, like twist tabs that would make removal and cleaning easier(look at some china cabinets at a furniture store for some ideas along these lines).

The other, nicer, way to go would be to still route the channel, but have an 'inner frame' that would sandwich the glass to the outer frame. This would make your structure heavier, but would also make the glass more secure. The bad thing is the glass wouldn't be easily removeable for cleaning or replacement.


I guess a 3rd way I just thought of is to do the same as my 'quick and easy way' but instead of using nails or anything else to keep the glass inplace, you can merely use silicone to glue the glass into the channel.
