Guitar Pick Shaped Plexiglass

[mameighan]

Looking to make a Guitar Pick Shaped lighted sign. Very basic one with just stands offs from the wall and some lights behind it.

Can any of you cut plexiglass into shapes like that or can point me in the right direction?

It imagine the size being about 2ft 2 ft or around that. I can do the vinyl and the lighting myself - I just dont have he access to the shaped plexiglass

Thanks

Mark

Maybe you should use Lexan

+1 make a pattern and hand cut it, that shape should be pretty easy

When you say most suppliers have pick shaped stock - could you direct me to some?

Thanks

Most of my tools in my workshop - guitarbuildig is my hobby - have bought there
If you dont find exakt what you are surching for, ask Dan Erlewine. I am shure he can help.

Thanks not quite what I am looking for though. I want a large piece of lexan or plexiglass shaped like a pick. the overall size would be about 2 ft wide.

so buy a sheet and cut it to the shape you want. Whats the issue?

I just dont have the tools for the job. I thought maybe someone on the signs101 would point me as to where I could purchase one or could cut one for me.

Thanks anyway - will keep looking

buy a jig saw, i think they start at like $25 at home depot. This is the one i use and and works great. http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hard...Id=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051#.UP8qkCfAcrU

Make sure to use a blade made for cutting plastic, not wood.

Cutting it yourself will cost less than having somebody cut the shape for you.
