Nice day here in the mid-west.... plenty of sunshine.... a good day to work outside!I worked on finishing the cart table, reworked the bottom shelf, recycled plywood and old tight grained fir. The acrylic sheet was not looking right. The acrylic sheet looks great in some applications but not so good in others.
Rust and Acrylic are a good combination, like these house numbers I did a few years ago. Too cold on the cart.
I rescued several 4 x 8 sheets of 1/2 inch Acrylic from a dumpster a few years ago, I have found many uses for it. I have also found a post industrial source so I can get miscuts and random sized pieces of different thicknesses. I would have never been able to justify the expense of working with a material like this had I not found it. The way light moves through it is amazing and surprising.
I have recently made some picture frames for art photos out of acrylic, very heavy and industrial will have photos up soon.
I am hoping to find some 3form material or scrap to work with in the near future, very cool stuff.
