Default Clear Acrylic Box?

Anyone know where I might be able to find a clear box like the one used here?

We used to use them in a store I worked at for creating sales displays. So, I would check out companies that sell merchandising fixtures. OR keep an eye open for stores that might use them and see if you can buy one?

No, they were much larger. That's pretty small at 8"x8"x8" and seems to be designed for putting a single small item into. The ones that I worked with were nearly identical the one in pic above (which is probably an 18") with some measuring as large as 24" cubed.

ya, would need to be about the size as the one in the picture posted. Don't really want to buy it online and have to pay shipping.

There is a place in town that sells used office furniture and supplies (stuff from companies that have gone out of business), I will check them out tomorrow and see if I can find anything

Thanks

I clicked your profile to see where you are located, but you don't have that posted. Here on the West Coast, we have this company which can do what you want, but you may have to go the shipping route.

Check w/ aquarium enthusiasts -- some of these guys build their own tanks, and they might be able to help you out.

Also check "Hobby Lobby" or "Michaels"...I know they have these type of boxes for displaying trophy basketballs, dolls etc-not sure what sizes they are though. Good luck

You can buy plexiglas at Lowes I think. Google "plexiglas glue" and see what you find. I've watched those Mythbusters guys whip together a plexiglas box or house in no time flat.

Yep, we do sell Plexiglass, ( in Millwork,...thats doors and windows. ) and we can cut it to size for you too. All you'd have to do is get the right kind of adhesive, ( in the Paint Dept. ) and glue it together.

I bought my piece that I use on occasion, from work. I forget it's dimensions but it was less than 10 bucks.

( In case you havent figured it out, I work at Lowe's. )
