Harland Grandfather clock plans

I have the plans for the Harland Grandfather clock--the plans seem to be incomplete--no measurements or material listing for the glass--items number 30-38 I believe. Are they missing or how do I figure them?

Since this is my first clock project, is there a video that would be helpful in constructing this clock?

Glass is typically 1/8" undersized (overall) from the rabbeted opening it will fit into. This will yield 1/16" space on all sides around the glass. Remember that the glass only fits into the rabbet of the frame/door pieces. The 1/8" wide X 1/4" depth slot should fall directly behind the glass panel (as this slot is used for the glass retainer - which secures the glass).
