Bulletproof

In addition to being incredibly light compared to glass, acrylic is also incredibly strong. It is so strong that any thickness over 1 1/2" is bulletproof (and ironically called bulletproof glass). Above is a closeup of a sculpture Aaron made with a hammer and chisel out of some bulletproof glass from a bank.
