    Default Playing with laminated Perspex

    Hi had a bit of a play with laminated Perspex and this is the result. I cut strips of 3mm Perspex into 20mm strips glued them together then I cut them on a 45 degree angle. Then I cut them in half and rotated one of them and then glued them together.

    It does have quite a lot of potential.

    You could make sporting colour pen with this concept. They should sell like hot cakes at club meets and during the finals season. They would also make excellent presents for family and friends who a sport nuts!

    Thanks for sharing your great idea.

    Knew you had too much time on your hands.

    Should have been in Geelong colors then you would have been on a winner.
