For production efficiency I tied 3 to 4 strips together with masking tape.

Donriley Donriley writes: Mike. Sorry for the late reply as I have not logged in to the Gallery. Yes, I made the acrylic shelves, marking the spacing between images, then cutting the groves on a router table. The shelves were fed directly into the tool using a home made sled, and using the fence as a stop. Caution: The shelves must be held securely as the turning router tool tends to pull the shelves in the direction of tool rotation. Also, I taped 3 to 4 shelves together for cutting.

Nice job!

Did you make the acrylic shelves or did you purchase them?

If you made them, could you explain how you cut the nice edges? If you purchased them, could you let me know the source?

Mike
