Make a set of the Magical Dovetail Markers for yourself, or as Christmas presents








Details of how to build them are on my website (too many photos to post here)...

Great idea and nicely done. The build-along / HowTo is great.

A couple of questions:
How thick is the lexan?

Where do you find inexpensive lexan?

Looks good Derek.......

Very nice. I'll be checking this out after work.

Thanks for the reminder:

The Lexan I used is 1/4" thick. I added it into the article.

I simply purchased sections on eBay. Easy to access. Not the cheapest but reasonable in price.

That’s a really clever use of that material, Derek,

Lexan (polycarbonate) can be fused, or welded, with acetone. Acetone melts the plastic so use a few drops. It won't bond flexible plastics or most other materials. Since CA is lumpy and is usually old and spoiled in my house, acetone is easier to find..
