Not sure exactly where this would go category wise - I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get some sheets of plexiglass or a similar material for a case I've been doodling up. I've read I can get by without needing any particular tools for cutting till I get past 3/16" thick. The detail I'm lacking here is if that thickness will actually support anything at all.

So if anyone has any experience working with this junk and/or knows where I can get some for a reasonable price, let me know, please.

home depot, son

it's not too expensive, but the thinner you get it, the cheaper

what are you planning to cut it with?

Because to get good cuts you are going to need a circular saw or table saw. Home Depot / Lowes you can get a sheet of 5mm (~1/4in) which is about as thin as you want to go to not flop around, for I think 50 ish bucks for a 3x4 sheet.

^^ahh, thanks. I've apparently missed them when I was there before (of course, I wasn't looking for this stuff before, so that figures).

^Probably a circular saw. I'll have to rig up something as a cutting board, but I'll manage.

Thanks for the help!
