Im making my first sub box and i want this thing to be badass. I have a design i want to put on the top of the box that is made of frosted plexiglass (i dont want to see clear through it) and have blue LEDs inside so the design is a nice blue glow. BUT im not sure how to cut into the MDF to make the plexiglass flush with the surface, i was going to use a solid 24"x24" sheet and place it over my design cutout and glue it to the wood. I plan on using 1/4" plexiglass. Im also a little short-handed on tools. Any advice??
draw out where you want your plexi and make a 2nd line about 3/4" to 1" inside the line
cut out the middle part then use the router to route down 1/4" so the plexi has a shelf to sit on (1/4 is a bit thin i would go at least half inch and smaller is better)
can use glue (make sure it dries clear) or silicone, I use foam weather stripping and screws when i build plexi into my boxes
