I got myself a new set of aquarium tools but then, i found out
that my tank cabinet is being fully utilized,i cant store the tools nicely and neatly
so i decided to DIY my own personalize tool holder.
I have a couple of black acrylic sheet lying around from my previous projects.
Tools needed for this mini DIY
Arcylic sheet
Flame Torch
Laminate cutter
file tool
hacksaw
ruler
Drill set
Draw out the template of the tool holder.
Drill,saw and file to shape the acrylic sheet.
Fitting and strength test
Finished product
Next is, to get a stainless steel fish net... sweeeet...

It is 2mm so far so good,it still hold, no warping.
3mm will be better but i don't have a 3mm.
I use the flame torch to bend it shown in pic 1.
Don"t hold the flame too close or too long at acrylic sheet,
if you do, air bubble will form in the acrylic sheet and you can burn it.
I have one minor burn spot because of the strong flame
luckly mine is black acrylic so it don't show
i got bend acrylic with clear ones for float switch holder. lol throw away, one spot got bubbles on 3mm.
maybe i should buy smaller flame gun.

nice
Why need a flame gun? Just get a hot gun blower will do. Did you try using a hair dryer?
Thanksnice
You can actually use normal lighter but have to be very careful.
Hair dryer not sure,probably can but take longer time.
The best is hot gun.
my lighter already wind proof. flamegun good, always burn one bunch of frogbits.
hair dryer heat a whole zone,

Large hole for the 100ml syringe i use boring drill bit,perfect fit no adjustment needed,
for the 20ml syringe,i have to drill out the centre using drill bit and then use hacksaw to cut the circular hole.
Nice Job!!
very nice and professional done. Where can we buy the acrylic sheets? What is the price range we are looking at?
