It is hard to tell from the Pic and I am not being a douche on this questions btw; there is Plexiglas in the bottom of these correct?

Yes, Plexiglass. With children as the potential end users I wouldn't want to use glass.
Lexan is much easier to work with than glass anyhow. Cuts very nicely with the table saw, can be polished up and glued together with CA without fear of it falling apart, and when sanded clean to about 1000 grit and glued, although not transparent, it leaves a nice clean looking joint.
Dang Don, go overboard on a pic?

Now I'm curious a the the picture..... Actually, We're probably better off not knowing. It could have been a nude of Don or something....

So we take the 1950's craftsman disc/belt sander, knock the extra off the splines and clean up the top and bottom for a flat surface.
Really?... That is the first thing you think of? I am not very comfortable with knowing the first thing you think of is me naked.
Ill post the real pic on FB and tag you in it so you can stop thinking of me naked... I can feel your creepiness even now. I might not move to the mainland now, you live there...
You just hush!

Now if we want the kids to save, we have to put a way to put money in them. Grab some scrap, make a jig, use router with collar and poof! A slot.

Spent the day in Rochester, met @Sprung to give him his drill press and some pump oil but had to run into shop to get a couple things glued up so I can complete tomorrow so I got the boxes all sanded and ready to finish tomorrow since I was running the sander already.
Colin, these are banks for kids I gather. Do you have 15 kids in your close family?
They are looking really cool btw

I hope to have 15 customers, or one customer that takes 15 of them or any combination that makes 15

Got them all taped up (Don't want finish on the window) and two coats of satin WOP, I'll buff them out in the morning and start on door installation. The one in the right front is what we like to call a unique item. That's what happens when a clamp slips and the router kicks the box back in the jig making a goofy slot in the top. Fill, recut and put a piece on top to hide the boo boo.

And here we are all done, buffed and waxed the door installed and now to find buyers for them
This was a fun build, I'd love to find more doors in the future but I refuse to pay Ebay prices for them so who knows.
C and C always welcome.

Very nice...you might have to drop some pennies in them so people know what to do with them...just saying.
