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?

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..
Heirlooms are self-important fiction so build what you like. Someone may find it useful.
