Kitplane magazine had an article once that reminds you to not go into the shop saying "Im building an airplane". When you continuously come out without an airplane youll become discouraged. I live the process of building parts/assy's etc. I am frequently pleased with a days work.

Man, how true that is... wise words, Eddie.

Jim, for what it’s worth I wouldn’t use a bandsaw to cut those acrylic doors. I know some have had good results, but IMHO it’s just too easy to crack it. My suggestion would be to use a small abrasive cut-off wheel and make several passes - don’t try to cut too deep in one shot. Then grind/sand to the line. Polycarbonate (Lexan) is a whole different animal... you can cut the heck out of it with a bandsaw if you want to.
