I made mine (one piece) out of acrylic (Plexiglass). It doesn't scratch as easily as polycarbonate (Lexan). Don't let your blades (saw or router blades) get hot or they will melt the material. There are several places in and around Portland, OR. that sell both types of material. You don't say where you are located, but if you Google acrylic and your location, something should pop up.
