I have another art show coming up, and while I am showing a lot of the same stuff that I showed at my last exhibit, I am also showing some new stuff, which means buying more frames, mat board, and plexiglass. Again, I am doing all of this by hand to save money, but I just found a great way to save some time also. Cutting plexiglass according to most directions is HARD and TIME CONSUMING. You have to score it with a special cutting tool (read: dull butter knife) 7 to 231 times, place the plexi on a table with the score on the edge of the table, and pressing firmly, snap the plexi (not at the score line that you just spent 20 minutes making). It took me (actually Jake) forever to cut the plexiglass this way. Eventually, we took a bandsaw to it, which worked wonderfully. Unfortunately, with me out of school, I no longer have access to a band saw. Fortunately, Lowe’s cuts plexiglass. Free.
