Yeah, you may be right. I think I'm just a bit too much of a perfectionist :P Maybe fit a small piece of wood with some t-mold in the gap would be nice to cover it if it really shows. Just made some tweaks to the model.... I'm bored anyway :p |

So how do you access the marquee after you've attached the top cabinet piece. Did you add a hinge? That sure seems like more work than screwing in a couple marquee retainers. |

At the top there is an ugly gap. Maybe you won't notice it, I'm not sure... maybe there will get some light trough it? :S Anyway, this is what I made It's a quick job so I didn't pay attention to the measurements. ^^; --- End quote --- I suppose You wouldn't even really have to route out the sides of the cabinets if you measure your plexi good. I'd like to see some pictures of this method before I decide if it's for me. I don't know that I see the benefit. The L brackets cost around $3 and take only a few minutes to do, on the other hand, I do enjoy using the router anytime I can! |

Well, it might be more work, that's for sure, but I guess it's all a matter of taste and I won't mind spending a bit more time on it :) |

This has not been an issue for me though, as I accounted for the 1/2" or so of covered up space by making sure the marquee is vertically offset 1/2" within the plexi sandwhich so the entire marquee is showing (ie. only the plexi itself is covered). |
