Thanks for the compliment & other suggestions, the more options & opinions the better.
The reason I used a nylon bolt to secure the lid was to have something soft to go against the glass to remove any slack from an oversized lid while securing it.
As far as the "special tool" (drill & tap), I think the drill/tap set I mentioned cost me about 10 bucks. For no more money than these lids cost to make, 10 bucks for a drill & tap is nothing, especially if you're making more than one top.
Have a good one!
