Cody, where do you buy your acrylic from?
Haha floating is no big deal. Blending texture is an art form though, but this is all new construction with no texture.
I buy from a few places online. Eplastics, usplastics, etc. Just make sure you're using cast acrylic, because chances are, your dimensions can get by with 1/4" acrylic, but the cheap extruded stuff isn't as resilient and will probably crack within a year or two. You gonna build yourself?
