Oh geez what have I done!
Sir Patrick:
I've always wanted to do a shadow box like the one that sabre is in.
Sir Edward:
Looks great! Yeah, the shadow boxes are definitely a possibility. I don't think it would be too hard to build some basic ones.
I still need to look into what the best methods are for cutting plexiglass. I'm afraid that the circular saw (or the jigsaw) will just rip up the edges way too much. And I know already that the dremel tends to make a very wavy melted edge, when using a hard cutting wheel. At least at the speeds I ran it. I haven't tried the saw blade for the dremel yet. I'm thinking something with fine teeth and a slow speed might be good... so maybe a metal-cutting blade on the jigsaw?

That's one of my concerns too. I don't want to drop $99 on a sheet and butcher it.
Sir Patrick:
If you buy them at Lowes, they'll cut it for you.
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
That`s brilliant !!
