WOW! stixx, that is one beautiful amp...I'm gonna have to try working with some wood.

I got a handle on the edges of the lexan...600 grit wet/dry sandpaper...I put a folded towel in the kitchen sink and got the lexan wet and sanded for hours...

Nice work! Gives it a much better look, IMO. I never worked with plexiglass, how hard is it do cut and do curves all all that? I'm thinking about a headphone stand...

MASantos, its not hard to work with...it comes with a protective paper on both sides that you can write on or draw on your designs...just leave it on as long as you can, to prevent scratching

I have tons of woodworking tools, can I use them for acrylic?

[vixr]

MASantos, I would say yes...I used a table saw to cut the panels and base for the CK2III, and a jigsaw for the cutouts and regular drill bits.

Bear in mind that there are two types of plastic sheeting that are generally available.

Plexiglass (Acrylic) and Lexan (Polycarbonate) are somewhat different from each other, especially when you're drilling/cutting. I prefer Lexan since it's less prone to shattering (less brittle), but it does scratch more easily than Plexiglass.

I use woodworking tools to do my plastic work, although you can buy specialized drill bits and saw blades for working with plastic.

Here's a walk through of a Millett Max build I did using Lexan:

Where did you get thatLexan from? Those texts on the white side are written in portuguese. pretty funny!

There'sa local business which sells acrylics. I'll pay them a visit next week and see the prices and all!

Thanks for the info guys
