1st Acrylic Project

[Kensn]

Well I broke down and did my first acrylic project yesterday and today. I needed a light fixture for my fuge, and had some cast smoked acrylic that they were disposing of at work, so.....

I made the relector out of polished stainless, bought 2 outdoor lamp holders and figured out the angles on my pc. I wasn't worried about polising the edges, or watertight seams on this. I learned a few things and in the process got my fixture out of it.

The grooves in the bottom sit on the edges of the fuge and hold it in place really well. It only has one light in it in the picture, but I am going to pick up another one this afternoon.
