For custom / bespoke - try Luminati.co.uk in your neck of the woods...

or even better - try this directory of acrylic cutters & polishers...
http://www.perspex.co.uk/fabricators

BUT - when it comes to set sizes - I have found D&J Simons offer the best quality & at the best prices - a rare mix!!!

You often see price OR quality - but not often together - well done SIMONS!!!
Your too late I'm afraid - I retired in April 2024 :sun:

Thanks for the replies. Simons do a good range of smaller blocks - a good range of larger drilled blocks - but as yet no larger plain blocks - although Joe was as usual helpful and said that he would see if they could get undrilled blocks at larger sizes ( Thanks Joe)

Also have to thank Steve at Hot Press for the masses of help and advice given.

Lion also do some fantastic info sheets on Acrylic block mounting and sell the materials - I am just at that point of exploring all possible suppliers - edge finishes etc.
