My DIY project of the day, in between errands and telecommuting work...this time I added a few 3/4" holes for the frag plugs with square or bigger than 1/2" stems.
My AEFW system, to finally be populated with acros tomorrow!

Wow, that is probably the best frag tank I've ever seen.

Good idea on the bigger holes. I hate when it when some of the plugs don't fit the standard racks.

Cat, do you make smaller magnetic ones?
I've played around with it, but the neo magnets are so pricey...I can make one that attaches to a magfloat
What did you use to drill your holes? I'm fixing to modify my blue glow frag rack, specifically I'm going to enlarge every other hole and would prefer it that it looks nice.

My drill press with acrylic drill bits. Regular drill bits make such rough holes, acrylic bits are awesome
I need to get a 5/8" one, something between my current 1/2" and 3/4" bits, the bigger bits are so pricey though. The 3/4" bit was $50 lol.Call any time!
I ended up using a stepped bit. Not perfectly smooth but acceptable.

By chance will you be having one of those acrylic class/workshops again like you did a while back?

where did you buy your materials, awesome looking rack
It's kinda far for you (what isn't) but may be closer than where Cat goes…. Regal Plastics on Wirt, just north of I-10.
They have a nice scraps bin you can rifle through and pay by the lb. Or you can buy full sheets and have them cut down.
I actually do go to Regal Plastics for the scrap acrylic, easy enough to swing by there when I go to FJW. The acrylic rods I buy at USPlastics, much cheaper than sourcing them locally from acrylic shops in Houston.

I wish Regal Plastics had Saturday hours they close when I get off from work so I have never been able to get over there to dig through the scrap bins.
