Plastics

"Acrylic plastic is an ideal material for constructing abstract sculptures such as those shown in Figs. 6-86 through 6-89. These abstract sculptures require cutting and edge-shaping, as well as cementing acrylic plastic pieces together."
from Working With Acrylic Plastics - Including 77 Projects by Jack Wiley, Tab Books, Blue Ridge Summit, PA, 1986
