I was thinking about the different materials i could use. I think clear acrylic would be very cool but it probably will not cope with soldering unless I am very quick. I started thinking glass would be very cool but working with it may be difficult. I have a milling machine so if I can find the correct tools then I might be on to something. I suppose I can cut the glass fine. What need is to find some way to drill the holes. Also i need to be careful about cracking it with localised heating when soldering. Maybe if I used a solder paste and heated the whole board this would work okay? Does anyone know if I would get away with drilling glass with a standard tungsten carbide drill bit set. The spindle speed of my mill goes up to 60krpm. Be nice to hear of any experience before i risk destroying some drill bits trying. Anyone have suggestions for other cool materials? Maybe 'Mother of Pearl Shell'. All just thoughts at the moment but could be pretty cool. Trev
