Soooo i've been looking around more and reading lots of worklogs and such, and i think i wanna try and make my own window for my side panel!

I totally have the will for this, but as the way, i'm stuck...

I'm pretty sure i have the necessary tools (Dremel with disk cutter, various sanding and polishing equipment) but i don't exactly know where to get my hands on some nice, clean acrylic! there aren't many specialty stores in this town... :(

So if someone could hook me up with a nice site for ordering some nice acrylic, as well as a few ideas of how to make my window, I'd be really grateful!!

Thanks :)

I'll add a few pics of what i wanna do with that I have in mind...

...Such as this acrylic sheet!! I was really excited when i fell on top of this :) it's all blurry and hard to see through cause of this protective clear film over it..

I also came across a BRAND-NEW never-opened soldering gun, a larger, more powerful dremel, and a scroll saw, though i don't think i'll use it for much, other than cutting out my window... I don't know why my step dad hides these things from me... but oh well :P

estreetplastics.com has an excellent selection of acrylic, in smaller pieces than you can find elsewhere also. I've ordered from them a couple of times and have been VERY satisfied with the product.

when in doubt, check the wiki "list of suppliers (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/modwiki/index.php/List_Of_Suppliers)". If you find one that isn't on the list, add it for others.
