I like the idea of having something underneath the acrylic sheet, but I don't think that looks very nice. I think it would look nicer if there was some sort of pattern, but you know, it is up to you guys.

It looks like a solid box!

What kind of acrylic are you using for the topsheet? We're trying to build on ein metals class, but we dont know what to use for a topsheet. That professional stuff, uhs hdigh 3 or w/e it was, is fucking expensive...

hey I just realised that lexan is what nalgene bottles are made of, but I bet the acrylic will work well. Sick Box by the way

We finished the box tonight and it looks incredible. We were really suprised how well it turned out for only 70$ and 2 afternoons of work. The acrylic top sheet seems like it will work fine on skis but we will know for sure on wednesday when we test it out. Heres the final pics:

box with topsheet on and milkshakekid on top. (yeah old school pow airs 138's)

box; finished

me (volklrider) filling the counter-sinked holes with wax.

We were eager to slide our box so we put on some dress socks and went to town with some extreme socking, milkshakekid with the 270 off.

colinscratchpro with some gorilla steeze

milkshakekid throwin it down

word up, colinscratchpro (colin), milkshakekid (elliott) and volklrider (ross) with our beautiful finished box.

Props to you guys and my dad for helping us.

i'll post pics of our sesh with ice rink snow on wednesday.

i dunno ddude we just went to home depot and picked up whatever seemed like it would slide the best, it just said 36 x 72 acrylic sheet on the wrapper. It was 40 bucks so it was cheaper than plexiglass and especially lexan.

yeah the thickness doesnt really matter as long as you can get it screwed down well which we did, if you do that right only the top takes a beating and it doesnt matter if its 2 in. thick or 1/4 in. thick

^sick box man. What you said though is completly untrue about thickness. lets compare this to ninjas and boards shall we? Alright imagine ninja tom. tom wants to break a board, so he gets out a 1/4" thick board. Think he can do it? Of course he can, he is a ninja. So tom kicks the boards ass. Feeling quite cocky, tome goes for a 2x4. Tom ends up crying in the corner because his hand hurts and his ego hurts from not being able to break the board. so tom is a smart ninja and decides to put holes in it (essentially screws). now since the board is weakened, Ninja Tom can break the board and feel happy again. word
