Ok, after taking a closer look at the corners, I see what you mean. When I make a square panel, I make diaganol cuts for the corners (like a picture frame). This takes some practice and a miter box. It also avoids having the open ends. Here's a picture of a recent one I made for my granddaughter. I think you can see that the holes for the hanger are at the outside edge of the vertical zinc. Also the holes are drilled as close to the outer edge of the zinc so that you don't interfere with the inner part of the zinc that holds the glass. And remember ~ drill the holes into the zinc BEFORE attaching the zinc to the glass. You don't want to be completely finished and try to drill holes that close to your glass!!
