Completed Blocks
Here are my finished corner blocks!
MATH TIME: My box is 3" deep. The control panel will be made up of a 1/4" thick base layer of MDF with a 1/8" thick sheet of hardboard on top of it for button support, and all that topped off with a sheet of Lexan that's pretty damn close to 1/8" in thickness. I'll also want a bottom for my box, so I'll be using another 1/8" thick piece of hardboard for that. 1/4" (or 2/8")+ 1/8" + 1/8" + 1/8"=5/8"! So my blocks need to be 2 and 3/8" thick. Turns out they're 2.5" thick, so I took 'em down 1/8th of an inch with a power sander.
