Answer: I cut the acrylic shelf strips to size, then made the figure cut outs on a router table, feeding the strips perpendicular into the rotating bit, holding the strips tight against the bit thrust. For production efficiency I tied 3 to 4 strips together with masking tape.

Re: PEZ DISPLAY CABINET

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.
