Where does one buy laminate anyway? This is where a bunch of people

Just did a Google for "wilsonart".

Should get you started.


Sorry, I mean able to buy online, in sizes that would be handy for
workshop projects. None of the Lee Valley, Rockler, Woodcraft etc
seem to carry any. I'd feel kind of silly walking into a distributer
looking for a 4"x30" piece. You'd think somebody would be selling
smaller pieces. Couldn't even find any on ebay.

What about sheet metal for a fence face? I was going to get some to
try making a small cyclone for the shop vac anyway.

Bakealite is a solid material,almost identical to laminate.
Good medium to work with as well and is ideal for fence.
