that could be an idea also. I think they are open until 7 or so. I usally leave "work" around 4- so I could go straight there and that would leave us with more than enough time to get everything cut.
get the acrylic, mark everything out, so that way all we have to do is walk in there and start hackin away.

Acrylic is awsome to work with.
I recommend this to anyone who is about to be building sumps:
The wood hobby shop has awsome shop tools. Just about everything is there to do it all with (tool wise). The table saw is more than big enough to cut large sheets with, the blade isn't the best for the job though. I recommend getting a blade for the table saw that you can carry in there and put on yourself for the acrylic. 99% of the cuts can be made with the table saw. Glue, of course I have a little way of getting weld-on, we used weld-on 4, seemed to be awsome. The other thing that we had problems with was gluing everything together and what order to glue it all together so it is able to all be seamed. We tried to do a few fancy cuts with the router...I think we needed a smaller blade to do the fingers as we were tryin to do. I might pick one of those up just to have...but yeah. For the most part it went very well. We will see here in about 3 hours if the thing is going to hold water or not.
Brett needed this sump like last weekend, so were gonna attempt to speed up the process a little. Hopefully everything is good with it. (im very cofident with it, brett is holdin his breath) In the future I would like to assemble these things with time allotted for curing and "the proper" way to do this (time for assembly and time for curing)
I would be more than willing to help anyone out with building a sump at any time.
