Plexi on the CP

Blanka:

I just thought, with all those wooden houses, every little 10 person hole in the USA must have at least 3 woodshops with planers! Add the recession to that and there must be a zillion planers catching dust and having someone hanging around to help you with them.

Do this... but I'd route off/bevel the bottom edge.

What a great idea. I actually started a different thread with the same question. This will definitely do the trick.

BTW thanks for the link EwJ

I am really suprised we do not have a member who cuts plexi for others, we seem to have someone for just about everything else.

Have you tried calling local lumber yards? Most can special order 5/8" MDF. I searched in every Lowes and Home Depot for months, until I broke down and paid $30+ for a special order sheet of 5/8". I'm close to the end result, and it's totally worth the price. Plus, I have enough MDF to make 3 or 4 more CPs!
