    Let's talk Sunday. I've made some scales with inexpensive wood that came out to varying degrees of success. Takes about about two to three hours before the finishing. I find getting the wedges and finishes right to be the hardest part.

    Also you can't use wood working tools for plexi. Check this vid out.

    Any kind of power tool will need special blades to cut plexi well.

    Here for a jig saw:

    Also be aware that the method of finishing the cut edges of plexi to a clear finish requires a torch.
