PT has mentioned the virtues of Canal Plastics on the MAKE Blog several times. I know this place from when I was in art school. I picked up a large piece of translucent corrogated plastic while I was there. I used an xacto knife to cut it to size.

When I routed the top I made a lip to set the plastic into. For the sides I glued in a few small pieces of wood. I attached the plastic to the sides with Gorilla Glue.

I'm an engineer (apparently) that specializes in media based computer systems and large storage (Terabytes). I went to school for painting and I like to make things.
