STEP: 2

STEP 2: Materials and Tools Needed.

First off get a large sheet of 1/8 inch acrylic

Second make sure you have electrical tape and wire, and soldering tools!

Third and the most costly part of the procedure is finding back lights. (i picked up some 3.5/8 inch ones at a local surplus store. 3 across fits my animation screen dead on)

Forth you will need either thermoplastic resin or super glue. masking tape for holding parts in place is recommend.

Fifth Something to cut your acrylic with and something to sand the edges smooth. ( file and sand paper from large grit to fine grit).

Sixth, a perm marker scotch tape for labeling wires, tin snips or scissors to cut of frame of back light if needed, and of coarse a ruler to measure everything. (don't under estimate the importance of a straight line, the resin wont work to connect unless its perfectly flat against another piece).

and last but not least a switch! to turn your device on and off.
