I have used them before, they have a shop about 6 miles from my house. The lady that I worked with (cant remember her name) was fantastic. I was able to grab cut off pieces at the shop here in town for a fraction of the price because they had no use for them. It was a good deal but here in town they didn't do many different colors for the cut offs it was mostly clear, white, black and red. If wveryone wants to do a large order I would be in for sure!

I've used them, it was quite a while ago and it was for sheet plastics.

They've been around since the 40s and have facilities all over the place.

My experiece with them was good, no issues at all.

Their prices may have dropped since I last got a solicitation email from them.  At that time, Delvies was a better deal.

It shouldn't be that hardto calculate the cost would it? Everybody just say what length of what acrylic they want, and one person makes the order and receives it, then divvies up the acrylic based on what everyone ordered. It would be a bit pricey to ship to the order placer, then to each individual ordered. But it doesn't seem like it'd be that messy.

GAHHH!!  :eek:

I don't even turn acrylic! I'm a wood kinda guy!

You can't slip me into it that fast Mac!  :nono:   LOL!

I was just stating that it shouldn't be too difficult for anybody to coordinate.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to take charge and sort this all out for everyone, but I wouldn't even be buying any acrylic, I'm no where near experienced enough to start using it, plus it's too pricey for lil old me.  so it would be less cost-effective for everyone else if it shipped to me, as shipping would then need to be split up by everyone else excluding me. I'm sorry bud, I wish I could help out here.

If you guys would like, you can post the desired quantities and types of acrylic [total cost per person] and I can calculate everything and keep track of everything? Good luck guys!  :beer:
