Acrylic Control Panels!
dema:
I found this site that had better prices on thick sheets of acrylic than the site initially provided.

If there was a way to cut this stuff myself I'd seriously consider attempting building an entire cabinet out of acrylic.
Any idea how to cut 3/4" in acrylic?
nostrebor:
Table saw, band saw, router, jointer, etc. Same tools will work acrylic as wood. Just different techniques and blades/bits in some cases. The local plastics shop here has a really nice woodworking shop. No tool in it has ever cut wood though, just plastics.
My favorite moments are watching their fabricator do flame polishing on acrylic. He makes it look so easy :o

A countersink is a hole cut to accept the head of a screw (or bolt or whatever).
You know how some screws have flat heads and wide conical heads which the screw part itself sticks out of? The idea is that you make a conical depresion centered on the hole that the head of the screw fits into giving you a smooth surface, more or less. In woodworking you often put the top of the head a little below the surface and putty over it, hence the sinking part.
