Hi all,
I'm framing 3 small prints and want to do them in a stepped arrangement (so they form a diagonal, stepped frame, if that makes sense?). I'm ok with the reverse mitres, but I'm thinking I'm going to need acrylic sheet rather than glass - cutting glass in this shape would probably be impossible. Does anyone know any acrylic sheet suppliers that will cut a bespoke shape like this one?
Thanks all
Lynda

Never tried it but......
If it's 2mm sheet, you aught to be able to cut it ok by marking where the internal corners are and drilling a small hole. Then score between the hole and the outside and snap it. In theory, it should snap up to the hole and no further. Thicker than that, a fine toothed saw.
As I say, never tried it.
