damn first time I see someone that knows what they're doing, I work at a custom acrylic fabrication company and I see a lot of videos giving wrong info. good work dude

[@samsykes8616]

That’s good to know! Looking into making some acrylic box for metal sculptures I make.

[@b.williamchapman9774]

I just started looking into this craft and this is the best instructional video that I have found. Thank you.

[@moonchildxo77742]

Thank you very much,this is exactly what I have been looking for to display my Pop vinyls out of box! :)

[@DanielLouzonis]

In other words....I can't do this on my own. :(

[@supermodelatlanta1354]

Daniel Louzonis right bc i dont have the tools.

[@BioClone]

actually only the right filament needs to be bought (so you use a batery or something and use it to heat the material, some heat gun could work aswell, however is not recomended as it works better with the same temperature on all the joint or it could get deformed) Anything else could be made with wood, or use more primitive sanding tools... also you could give the chamfers a transparent look if you did sanded it roughly with a torch, even one 4 cooking should work)

[@sg3037]

😂😆 exactly

[@DeA2875]

All you really need is a scoring tool you can get at Home Depot, the right glue and a torch tool wise. The jig is necessary though.. I make displays at work and it can be done with hand tools, a bit slower but...

[@n3dnarbofficial]

Hahaha

[@xoomoon]

Is this a better way to build display cases over laser engravers?

[@sacmakers4770]

Thank you COOLnessGod . I will be making more very soon!

[@AndrewWilliams-sk1ss]

Does anyone know what the name of that glue is by chance. The rest of the stuff i have. Cheers and great video.

[@kristeearbourgh5296]

What happens if you get glue residue on plexiglass where you don’t want it? Will something remove it?

[@JemDhali]

Really great! Hoping to see more.

[@n3dnarbofficial]

Standard home tool setup that everyone should have...... lol

[@rithotyn]

The fingers have been captured here in all their glory for posterity.

[@robmill3r]

as someone who has lost a digit to a tablesaw, this was hard to watch. I really don't understand someone not using a push stick, especially cutting down this small. eeep!

[@mikejessmax]

Holy smokes, you're pretty brave (or uneducated) with that table saw. Still have all your fingers?

[@Chevyman27705]

Get a push stick bro. 🤘🏻

[@MADDMOODY516]

Is there any way to cut it without a saw? Like with scissors?

[@marcosarebalo9099]

i want to build custom cases for action figures on the card, i was wondering how i go about doing so? exactly what tools do i need?

[@gerrybalderas2062]

What we call that equipment that you use to bent the plastic

[@florencecouture8738]

Thanks! Well done.

[@michaeltudda2988]

I am looking for a three side wall for a diorama? 3 foot sides by 14 inches high, by four feet long, by 14 inches high, any suggestions?

[@elsahernandez6409]

Do you make custom acrylic displays? I need about 10

[@bryynn_lxmn]

what called that plastic clear you used???

[@MRNIIK]

This was very insightful but I wish the camera work wasn't so Michael Bay

[@warrenthomas1253]

@@mcm3825 don't be a pussy say what you really mean

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Very nice, love the bending apparatus.

[@seamoreseeless]

I hope you are looking forward to a trip to the ER. The method of cutting with your (R) hand between the material, straight edge and blade is extremely dangerous. You should be using a block of wood to hold work straight without putting yourself in danger. I sincerely hope this tragedy never happens.

[@brannonharris9761]

+Norman Featherston Your first and last sentences nearly contradict eachother. If you turn on annotations, the video mentions the dangers and suggests guards.

[@seamoreseeless]

You are correct Brannon Harris. I should have used the word 'may' instead of 'hope'. All the best, stay safe.

[@brannonharris9761]

+Norman Featherston hey, thank you!

[@Tigerbricks11]

He’s cutting clear material. It’s not like it’s going to surprise him a cut off his fingertip.

[@akashdarji8117]

What type of silicone can i use for a acrylic fish tank that i want to build please tell me what i can use

[@iwantosavemoney]

Yes sir that the way a over flow box is made also

[@dgiroir6344]

Great video, Hey do you still have 10 fingers. Be safe my friend!

[@polymakegames]

Yea, still building and got all ten. Of course, that's thanks to swapping to push sticks in general.

[@jacobgregory2426]

Hey do you make customs ones to sell?

[@fredygabuardy546]

Hey ! Did you use a normal router bit to clean up the extra plexiglass or did you use a special bit for it?

[@sacmakers4770]

Hey! I was using a 3/4" Trim Flush Router bit with a standard barring. Hope that helps! Nothing fancy. Just needs to ride along wall and trim off the panel that has been glued to the bended panel.

[@anancrypto2213]

@@sacmakers4770 1 how to bind/join transparent polycarbonate sheet to make a box? Will acrylic grade glue/polyfix/chlorofom can be used ? 2 How much thick sheet will be sufficient to withstand hot water upto 45 d celcius ?

[@calebcombs3669]

Is this acrylic or polycarbonate?

[@leoderadt596]

Curious about the details of the trim-flush fence for the router. It says details in the description, but not seeing them. Am I missing something obvious?

[@sacmakers4770]

I will dive back into the Fence fabrication at some point. Life got crazy.

[@alfahotel1889]

what glue you use?

[@DaveDRC]

are there online shops where i can order custom shapes?

[@katrishamays6058]

need more details on the saw blade who makes it and where can you get it

[@guyfisher2050]

How do you calibrate the router fence for removing saw cuts (1:27), I don't find the link for this or in any of your videos

[@Besties-m6z]

Same

[@karishmashah6270]

Would you be willing to take an order? I can send you a pic of what I have (which broke) and measurements. Thanks!

[@SabiasQueDidYouKnow]

How much to build me a custom one?

[@JemmySheng]

great work!

[@emcapitan7494]

what was called the blade you used to bend the case?

[@Besties-m6z]

It’s just called a heat bender

[@Dhampir6990]

How do you place the action figure in the case if its glued shut

[@sacmakers4770]

It isn't glued shut. Just placed onto its step-base. Like a friction fit bottom

[@Phoenixknight79]

how much would you charge

[@sindoooyasser]

Hello please which blade do you use?

[@sammybaby1413]

Any carbide tipped blade should work fine. 60 - 80 tooth. Triple chip grind works best.

[@the_beyswapper9688]

I want them for Beyblades

[@kevinh8736]

I need one that is 16 inches tall, 8 inches wide and 2 feet long with a black base.

[@sacmakers4770]

Feel free to ask any questions!

[@kevinh8736]

SacMakers - Do you have a website I can order from????

[@kabba4575]

Uhhhh...ur website........my phone will not let me access it because it says that the domain is trying to hack into my account or retrieve passwords.

[@mightySHRIMP420]

I'll make my own cases for pops and pokemon boxs. Nvm I'll just buy them 😂

[@collectordannyrr3654]

Could you make Four please for my Ninja Turtles? Then another 6 For my Street Sharks Pleaseeee

[@LLPOF]

To anybody watching this, please don't use the saw in the manner used in this video.

[@sacmakers4770]

I agree. But almost 7 years later I still have 10 fingers. Freedom to create in the manner in which we choose is truly a blessing. I don't remember making a tutorial on using a table saw. :)

[@nisaleranda32]

can i buy 200pcs from this?

[@candychen7408]

Our company specializes in producing acrylic products. Can you email me your request? [e-mail]

[@juans.3547]

Dude I would honestly pay u for this I’m not even joking if u could make me some 1:64 display cases that would be amazing 😇

[@Tinkering902]

Wow, you trimmed your fingernail while cutting at 50 seconds.

[@melannieworld]

Question, would you make a custom box? please let me know.

[@bingcocris4286]

hi SacMakers can i ask L x W x H of that project. thanks

[@lupitaayala3690]

Well, in order to make a cheap plastic box, I need to expend more money buying the tools .... I can do my own without tools thanks

[@mydemon]

Can you post your it KZbin tutorial for this?

[@COOLnessGod]

Nice video.

[@leatherindian]

Man you’ve got poor safety habits around a saw.

[@youtubefree7389]

Now do this without using those type of tools

[@rustyneedles3743]

Well, someones sure to lose a finger someday.

[@theintrovertedguy7054]

Oh no

[@vinnyivanov2906]

I cant like what I seen because camera moves around so much that video was like an action movie

[@chrissangenette6359]

$100 worth of tools plus materials spend the $20 on Amazon

[@iwantosavemoney]

30 seconds worth of typing for not

[@mydemon]

Dude you lost me 16 seconds into the video when you're using a professional sawblade as large as a fridge for this. How is this diy?

[@tomm1968]

It's a table saw with a carbide tipped saw blade. You can buy them at Home Depot. Not Professional Grade Unobtainium. They're pretty ordinary if you actually go out and look.

[@mydemon]

@@tomm1968 Yeah I ended up getting one, it fits nicely in the middle of my tiny NYC studio apartment. However, I use it as sa surface to score the acrylic sheets with a knife and cut it that way. Otherwise it wakes up the baby.
