Re: How are bellypans made?

Last year, 1370 used 3/4" plywood (Lowes) to mount all of the electronics on. This year, because we were afraid of the weight limit (rightly so, it turns out), we used 1/8" Lexan. Band saws, vertical mills, and circular saws with either forward or reversed blades works just fine. Unfortunately, our Lexan was a little too gummy to use the tried-and-true method of score it and snap it at the line.
