But happ charge you $10 extra if your order falls below $25, then add to that the cost of shipping to the uk & time delay, its not a practical option. I'm looking for an alternate in the uk if anyone has any suggestions --- End quote --- They don't ship it from the US as they have a UK depot. I don't deny they charge the earth tho... |

i was looking into using a 1mm transparent perspex laser-cut to the required shape. I would supply a CAD file to the workshop and they'll knock out an exact panel top. I'm going to place this over my graphic layer which in turn all sits on 18mm (3/4 inch?) MDF, which is also laser cut to the same cad file by the same people (I have no garage or area to do the woodworking by the way hence the outsourcing |

No experience, but I would be interested to know some about your "outsourcing". I'm planning to do the woodwork myself, but will have to wait till summer so I can do it outside (non indoor space at all) and have a car to move the stuff around. Whats the company/how much etc...? re: perspex : I've not done it but I would imagine you would need something else to hold the perspex down? Even with T-molding at the edge, you may find it pops up a bit as people put there hands on it? |

Just an update. I gave happ uk office a ring & ordered from them. The shipping & minimum order charge was excessive, but atleast I've finished my cab now :) |
