It's pretty cool, but if you build one, definitely use caution and wear eye protection when drilling through the Plexiglas.
- jacquesm 13y agoSeconded on the eye protection. Also, drill slow (without too much pressure) and drill a pilot hole so you stay centered. There are special plexiglass drills, those make life a bit easier, a glass bit works as well (even better, actually).
