    For the scoring method, I would never have guessed to manipulate the longer side of the acrylic for a more even cut - but that actually makes total sense.

    I liked the way you made that wooden jig to saw plexiglass so much that I designed and made one for myself. I made mine so that you don't need a sacrificial sheet of wood to make clean cuts. I tested two saws and found that I a cross-cut-saw is a lot better than a rip saw. Now I can make super accurate and clean cuts from 1/16" to 1/2" thick plexiglass sheets. Finally, my jig allows you to sand and or polish your cut piece if you desire to do so. I am thinking about making a RUclips video for people who may want to make one for themselves. Thank you so much for that Idea.

    • @cosador
      @cosador  5 лет назад +2

      Sounds good! you are right, anything that is toothed or requires too much pressure will often crack the acrylic, it can be done but mistakes are likely. A rotary tool like a dremel used in conjunction with a straight guide followed by sandpaper can produce great results.

I wanna build a really nice and economical shelf using leftover acrylic sheets, thrifted fancy frames, an old mirror, aluminum foil and leftover wood PLUS I want the whole thing lit up with soft led light strips so no one has to bother remembering to replace the batteries in them string lights. It'll be just as good, if not better than the $850+ dollar inspo ones, wish me luck
