Kbranden's Viewlix clone

Hey all,

I have a couple questions for you guru's out there. For starters, I have absolutely no woodworking experience but trying to build a viewlix Clone anyways. Here is the pic of where I am at right now.



BTW - I do have the side/front beveled additions done for the control panel box, just not put on yet. So it won't look boxy like in the pic. :)

Anyways, questions.

1). What would you suggest using to fasten the marquee arc to the frame? I'm having a bit of trouble because for one I opted not to have the side opening (on the side panels) to move the TV in and out. I actually have to lose'n one of the side panels from the base to get it in from the back. So, I can't really glue it on. A straight bracket inside won't work because the curve of the arc starts too soon for it to work. I thought about either drilling holes and using dowels or finding a bracket that would go from the top to the side at a 45 degree angle (But can't really find anything out there). What would you suggest?

2) Any suggestions on who can build a good marquee. I'm not sure if I can take plexi and cut the rounded shape as well as paint it evenly enough to look good.

Thanks,
kbranden
