After completing the first set of measurements for the bottom panel, the next step was to start cutting the appropriate sized acrylic sheet to align in the aluminum framing. The process for cutting acrylic is very simple and there are several ways to complete this task. For straight and clean edges most people use the "score and snap" method with a straight edge knife or use cutting tools such as a table saw or jigsaw. I originally started with the "score and snap" method but realized that the thickness of the acrylic was slowing down the cutting process. I didn't have access to a table saw or jigsaw and decided that the easiest method would be to use a Dremel Multipro 5 with a re-enforced cutoff disc. Once the first acrylic panel was cut, the edges were sanded and cleaned with a sanding bit. The first panel was installed in place and secured using four angle joints.
