8-) What kind of files do you need and what's a decent thickness? :?:

I've got a makeshift router table and (hopefully) I've got a plexi bending heat strip somewhere amongst the junk. I'm planning to make up a jig so I can experiment with how deep the v-grooves need to be for me to to get the bends just so and the dimensions to fit the bent lid to exactly the right size. The inset and snow white groove ought to be easy to figure, but possibly difficult to align during the bending.

I'm thinking 3/16' or 1/4" will be necessary, which is too bad because I've got a lot of 2mm scrap on hand. :-/

THX for the offer! :approve:
