Af'noon all.

I have an idea, which requires me to try and get hold of a perspex/acrylic box to display something in.

Trouble is, it needs to be person sized. Sort of 1.500m high by 0.500m square - ish.

I've had a trawl of the google and I can only find small boxes. Anyone here play with or know where I can get hold of someone to make one up?

Thanks
JCB

Are you attempting to recreate some David Blaine style stunts.
Live in it or fill it with water and see how long you can last.

I can recommend Plastics Online, they will make all sorts of one offs and are very reasonably priced. No connection, just a satisfied customer.

The fact that it will be perfectly sized to take the wife is coincidence only!

I was going to suggest the same firm, but Pete beat me to it. Based in Humberside.
