Best (easiest) way to install a marquee
<< < (5/8) > >>

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.

Made a fast model today just to see how it would work out, but stumbled on a small problem.
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. ^^;

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!

Yeah, like in this pic.

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 :)

I think the main benefit is that you don't cover up as much of the marquee.  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).
