Aiala and Jerseymic,
I made your plinths this afternoon.

GORGEOUS, Mr. Shark!! That plinth will display my purple/silver 4/0 like something out of a jewelry store... THANK YOU SO MUCH!   :D

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Luv em Daron. How do you bend the perspex without crazing or cracking?

Nice work Daron. Great way to display that " special " reel!
luck is the residue of design.

A propane torch. You just have to go slow or they will bubble up.

Very nice Daron!  With the large variations in Acrylic colors available the possibilities are endless.  If you end up making a lot of these they make electric heating elements specifically for bending acrylic, we use them for signs all the time.  It may save you some propane  ;)

Yea,
We make sinks to test each batch. If there are any flaws, we make bath tubs and stretch it thinner.
Do you work for a sign company?

Aiala,
Your Plinth is Leaving Kentucky Tomorrow to Palm Springs. Its 11 Degrees here tonight. You might have to warm it up a tad. Enjoy it!
Mike, I'm not happy with yours and am going to redo it. It was nice and level until I added the 12/0. It is sagging a little on the back end. I haven't made any of these for a while.
3/8" Acrylic can hold up a 12 lb 14/0 without any issues. Besides, I want to make you another for your 9/0 too. The simple bend of the thicker material allows me to fit two in the same box.
Good Luck to you on your hectic week and my Best wishes to Jan. ;)
Life is Good!
