Acrylic under table shelf

Built a very simple acrylic shelf under my GeekDesk to put the USB hub and NUC on. This keeps the wiring on my desk to a minimum. I used the nicer Kreg 1″ pan head screens. If time was not always an issue, I would paint the oak spacers black to match the rest of the desk.

Building brackets from acrylic

 

After a recent trip to my local Tap Plastics, I came away with some raw materials. I had an idea in mind to use 1cm by 1cm rods to build mounting brackets. Acrylic is much cheaper than metal, can be cut with a Dremel or hack saw and doesn’t short your PCB’s.
