Talking Any One Doing Acrylic Work???

Hey Salty Folks,
If any one is doing there own acrylic work and edge scraping is a pain in the buttocks-if you have a jointer planer it works awsome.Make sure the blade hight is set right and you get a babys' butt smooth edge.I'm goin to try to start making sumps and skimmers for profit and I'm tweakin the methods.

260, that sure does make it hard to justify that diy project. When I first got started it was 110$ for 3/8 and 145 for 1/2.
