    They look cool! How does it balance with the holes? other than that, could we get a photo of the wedge end?

    I used clear acrylic for the wedge. It looks pretty cool. Hope you can see it ok.

    Very nice restore! Job well done! Sorry I can give any feedback on possible problems as I haven't worked with acrylic for many years. One thing I remember is to keep the heat down. Heat will create stress points and possible warping (in any material) while working with it and over time. Sharp inside corners in any material may lead to cracks. Your work looks fine.

    Great outcome!
    How thick is it?
    Do you find it bends more where the holes are close to the edge
    or does it keep its stability?
