Popular Post derekcohen 1098 Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I knocked these out today using Lexan. Sort of fun. Sort of interesting. But definitely useful. They are 2 1/4" in the face, and 1 1/2" over the top. Ratios 5:1, 6:1, and 7:1 (I find 8:1 too flat). There is also a saddle square. If there is interest, I'll post a build. Nice items to make as Christmas presents Regards from Perth Derek 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtnhighlander 7490 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 WonderWoman's invisible marking tools? Those are pretty slick, Derek. Nice gifts, for sure. I would like to see how you polish the cut surfaces for clarity. Also, is there a particular type or grade of material that polishes better? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Immortan D 1708 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Nice markers! I once made a similar one but the CA glue didn't last. It came apart after a few uses. So recently I made a new one using wood for the top part and epoxy for glue. I don't think this one is going to come apart, seems pretty sturdy, but time will tell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpnav 8 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Derek, those things are awesome...thanks for the writeup on your website. Have you used Lexas before or is this a first time project? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
derekcohen 1098 Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 Only make router bases with Lexan before this. Regards from Perth Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
