First time with acrylic. Not hard at all!

[Canadian Man]

Well I went to my LFS (big als) and looked at their overflow made of acrylic and looked like great quality but was $180.00 :eek: , and that was with out the bulk head fitting.
So my wonderful wife convinced me that I could work with acrylic so I gathered up all the stuff today and built the start of my overflow box.
MAN this stuff isnt as hard as I thought it would be. the 4 x 8 sheet cost me $107 dollars and glue and aplicator for $8 and saw blade for $17(everyone says you need a table saw, well you dont you just need to be creative). I also purchased two u tubes for 30 total from big als. I am sure i could get them cheeper (if anyone knows let me know).
So my total price for all the stuff i needed to make my own overflow, with 90% of a sheet to spare was about the same as purchasing one.
I will post pics when it is finished and pics are on my site. untill then I wanted to tell everyone that acrylic isnt that hard to work with, so if you have had the urge to try, then go for it!
