it took hermit and i a total of 3-4 days to complete the skimmer....but around 2weeks to source for the cheapest material and equiptments....most of the acrylic are laser-cut,except for the box at the bottom which i got cut and delivered by dama...
used chloroform and acrifix (as recommended by chipson) to seal up all the joints..
i must admit, even though the pic shows that it is quite nice, my workmanship is way below commercial standards...chloroform and acrifix are not that easy to handle...but it is the fun of DIYing that counts....
cross my fingers and pray that it will work...gonna run it at a close friend's place and compete with one of the best skimmers around...
lotsa thanks to hermit who faithfully wake me up every morning and help me through the whole process!!!
here's another look..
