I can't find it in me to spend $75-80 for clear corners from TTStuff

I went out and bought a 2'x2' diffuser panel for a flourescent light ($6). I've taped it up with painters tape to avoid cracking (first attempt cracked). Once I lay the patterns out over the tape I'm going to use a dremel (small toothed hand saw was going to take years)to cut the shape and thensand it down to perfection.

I have an extra plastic headlight housing and I'm using the amber piece from that to make a pattern on manilla paper.The manilla pattern iswhat I'll use to transfer onto the taped diffuser. The amber piece is now dark becausealong withtaping the manilla to theplastic and tracing I also used a light coat of black paint to help show the outline in more detail.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

If I already owned a dremel it be a $70 savings. Oh well.. I love having reasons to buy tools.

 

good luck bending it

 

I think I'll be alright. [8D] What do you think?

Good luck, then you can sell them to people for $20 shipped afterwords
