Here's mine......

How did you add the handles? Is it adhered by glue or are they somehow screwed in? BTW, it is possible to safely screw into acrylic without cracking it?

Just to followup, there's a great video I found on YouTube on making screw holes in acrylic here

There is another one as well (from the same fellow) that describes the fabrication method of creating displays etc. from acrylic, plexiglass materials.

Hope this helps out your DIY dustcovers.

If I remember right, I got the handles at Lowes. They're just screwed on. I used blue painters tape, marked the holes on the tape, then put the tape on the dust cover and drilled the holes with a regular drill bit, being careful not to apply too much pressure. Take your time, and use a tiny bit to start a pilot hole first, so the larger bit doesn't slide around and scratch the acrylic when you start your final hole. Place the dust cover on it's side, keep your drill straight up and down to avoid it sliding,  and drill from the inside.

I just noticed the deck beneath the cover, how do you like the Mofi deck? I was thinking about that one but ultimately got a better deal on a Pro-Ject 2xperience SB. I always wondered what the other deck would have sounded like.

Cheers!

I love the thing. It's simple, tracks great, and sounds rich.

Had mine made at a acrylic shop that makes displays.
Price was about 130.00can.
Had it made so the cabling and pc had access cutouts and also the front top was cut at an angle so I could change LPs without having to remove whole cover,which also is a hinged

Wow 🤩 can you let members know the vendor. That’s pretty nice work with all those extras! Thank you.

The company is called PG plastics in Edmonton Alberta.
The wifey corrected me on price.
Price was $80.00 plus shipping which came to $130.00

Thank you, I will definitely look into this for a different project. I think they'll be a good resource based on the store's skill level.

Just an update on my cover. I'm still liking my purchase but I'm kicking myself for getting 1/4" instead of 1/8". This baby is solid and heavy. Oh well. it still works great and half the price of the official one from ClearAudio. Speaking of which, my ClearAudio dealer was here recently and commented on how well done this dust cover is. That kinda surprised me.

Am I correct in guessing the isolation system is inverted plastic drink cups?

I use an extra large bandana.  Cheap and runs through the washing machine with no problems.

I don't believe a cheap plastic cup will work well. You need a Solo. They have the angles to support weight.

Fruit cups filled with a special damping material made for boat hulls and a hard rubber ball between the cup and the TT feet. Works well.
