I have to agree with this. You will never regret doing it right the first time. If you are not comfortable breaking the glass, find a glass shop that will do it for you.

Otherwise, I like your design well enough. I think 1/8" is too thin though. On the inside you have to contend with direct water pressure. On the outside you have to support plumbing.
