6mm perspex - inspiration wanted

[Nomad]

Hi there, and now for something different...

Have just collected a van load of 6mm perspex off-cuts (some bits 2.4m long ) from a local fabricator who has been making bus shelters
It's a mixture of sizes, I bought the bundle for the 1m x 0.5m pieces which have now been used to make cabinet doors.
I'm now looking for ideas about what to do with the rest
Have got perspex, good selection of tools, spare time, and looking to try something new

The 2 sizes I have left over (mm) are 2440 x 240 (30 off), and 1000 x 160 (20 off) Also lots of smaller 150 wide pieces.

So ... any bright ideas

many thanks

List it on ebay

You could make some 2.4m long rulers.

Sell it on ebay, ideal for router jigs etc...

Display cases for models? Machine guards?

 

[cumbriasteve]

Gardners would find loads of uses for those, cold frames, cloches etc

Thanks for the ideas

A mate does a lot of woodworking, will ask him what he looks for when buying routier jigs.

Display cases are also on the list, can do sides and top, just need to work out best option for the base.

Have just done some cutting today, jigsaw with metal blade works ok, I just need to to work out the best way to get "factory finish" edges without having to file and polish each piece. Router?

Also looking at using the larger pieces to re-roof our lean-to porch...

Any other ideas welcome

Excellent info - many thanks
I'm new to working with this stuff so the basic gudes on that site are ideal.
