Or you can do it the way it says in the Project Arcade book (which is the way I did it) and use 5/8'' plywood, so the total of the plywood and plexi is 3/4'' making it the perfect size for the t-molding.

True but 5/8" plywood is hard to come by for some people. It's especially hard to come by in MDF form - I've never seen it and I've looked quite a bit.

I had no problem finding 5/8'' MDF and plywood at both my local Lowes and Home Depot when I did my projects. Maybe it's a regional thing :dunno

I think it is regional - everywhere I asked said they could special order it but at some crazy price.
