Metalwork - Projects - Egg Holder 1

There are two designs here for an Egg Cup, the second being slightly more difficult to bend correctly. Either 5mm or 3mm Perspex is suitable for both projects but we find that 5mm gives the first project more stability and 3mm looks better on the second project. If you have any alternative designs please send them in.

Be careful with the measurements given as they take into account the thickness of the material we have chosen for the bends. Coloured Perspex looks better than clear due to the inevitable scratching that may occur. Below are two methods for cutting out the large hole for the egg.
Drill a small hole inside the circle and using a Piercing saw cut close to the edge of the circle. Then use a Half Round file to finish.
Drill a number of holes of Ø7mm or bigger and using a Junior Hacksaw cut between the holes. Then use a Half Round file to finish.
