what's the outer diameter of the test tube vases? could just lay it out by hand and use a hole saw.  faster.

Hi all,

I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE event this Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time.

Anyone able to give me a hand?

Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice, steaming away. Would look awesome!

I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so the base may need to be removable.

If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood. Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice plywood?

Patrik
