My first acrylic project.
 
Trying my hand at a beckett skimmer for my first go at acrylic. Got to work on it on Friday, cut all the pieces now i just have to do the key hole and glue it together. Well after a little sanding here and there. :wink:

Cheepreef, you make it look so simply. Looking good :wink:

Actually it is pretty easy once you start cutting, just those damn keyhole flanges. :? Should have used nuts instead. :P

Looks great Clinton!
Where did you get the plans for it from?

CHEAPREEF 02-17-2003 06:06 AM

No plans, just looked at all the ones i could on the net and used the best parts of the ones i liked.

Finally got a chance to glue some stuff together. And remade the injector tube flanges. (didn't like the way the other ones were going) It's pretty much all down hill from here, just some more gluing after this all dries.
