Q: to make rounded cuts in the plexiglass. A jigsaw looks a lot like a bandsaw but it's shorter and cuts in an up-and-down motion. You can use a jigsaw to make straight cuts as well as rounded cuts so it's a good option if you need to cut a specific shape or a circular piece out of a sheet of plexiglass. Use an uncoated blade with fine teeth to cut plexiglass. Keep a few extra blades nearby in case you need to replace it while you're cutting. Use a sawhorse as a work station to hold the sheet while you cut through it. Lie the sheet so it's secure and stable on the sawhorse. Check to make sure the sheet doesn't slide or wobble before you cut it. It's very important to have a guide to follow when you're using a jigsaw, especially if the shape you are cutting is round or irregular. A jigsaw allows you to create a specific shape, but you need to have a good marking to use as a guide. Use a dry-erase marker to create the outline of the shape you plan to cut. A dry-erase marker makes it easier for you to erase the mark when you're done or if you need to alter it. Sawing a sheet of plexiglass can cause splinters and tiny particles to fly in the air. These could damage your eyes if they get in them. Before you begin sawing, put on a pair of safety glasses. Make sure the glasses fit securely on your head so they don't fall off while you're sawing! The jigsaw will need an opening to fit into the plexiglass sheet, so start by drilling a hole with a drill and masonry bit large enough to make a hole that the blade will fit through. If you plan to cut shape with twists and turns, drill holes through the sheet at the tightest corners of the shape. This will help the jigsaw blade turn when it gets to those turns. If the blade of the jigsaw isn't able to take the turns easily, it could bend the blade or break it. Fit the blade of the jigsaw into the hole you made in the sheet and turn it on. A jigsaw blade moves slower than a band saw or a circular saw, so it must be brought to full speed before you start using it to cut. If the blade isn't at full speed when it makes contact with the plexiglass, it could catch and bend or possibly break and damage your jigsaw. It's possible the blade could snap and injure you, so use caution. Apply steady pressure to keep the jigsaw from jumping off of the sheet. Follow your guide markings closely and slow down to take any turns. If you hear or feel the blade catching or stalling, slow down and back up to allow the blade to get back up to speed, then continue to push the saw through the plexiglass.
A: Use a jigsaw Place the sheet of plexiglass flat on a sawhorse. Mark the sheet with a dry-erase marker to guide the jigsaw. Put on safety glasses to protect your eyes. Drill a hole to fit the jigsaw into the sheet. Insert the saw blade into the hole and bring the blade to full speed. Push the jigsaw slowly to cut through the sheet.

Q: It can be hard to maintain the same work hours every day when you work from home, but maintaining regular work hours can help you to keep your work and home life separate. Choose realistic work hours and stick to them. For example, you might decide to work from 8:00am to 4:30pm on Monday through Friday. Don't let your work hours creep into your personal time. When it is time to stop for the day, stop working, shut down your laptop, and step away from your work space. Try to set work hours that work with your personal life. For example, try to avoid working on the weekends if you know that there are things you will want to do. Change into work clothes in the morning and non-work clothes in the evening. Rolling out of bed and going straight to your workspace in your pajamas will make it harder for you to transition into your workday. The same thing goes for wearing your work clothes into the evening. Try getting up about 30 to 60 minutes before you want to start working for the day so that you can get dressed for work. Make sure that you change out of your work clothes when it is time to relax. For example, you can switch to pajamas or your favorite jeans and a t-shirt. When you work at an office, taking a lunch break is necessary and you may even have someone else reminding you to take one. However, when you work from home, it can be hard to remember to take lunch breaks and you may be tempted to work through your lunch or eat at your workspace. Instead, make lunch breaks a mandatory part of your day. Set a time for your lunch break to start and end every day. For example, you might agree to take lunch from 12:00 to 12:30 each day. Ask a family member or significant other to remind you when it is time for your lunch break. If you are worried about forgetting to take a lunch break, then ask one of your friends or family members to come get you when it is time for a break. You may be tempted to do things around your house while you are taking a quick break or making a work phone call, but this can blur the dividing line between work and home. Try to prevent yourself from doing any housework or anything that is not work related while you are on the clock. If you notice a household chore that you want to complete, write it down on a notepad and save it for the end of your work day. Keep in mind that everyone is different. For example, if you find that folding laundry is a soothing way for you to spend a break, then go for it! Finding a simple way to reward yourself for a hard day of work is also important. You can reward yourself with a walk outside, a cup of tea, a chat with a friend, or any other pleasant activity that indicates your work day is over. Consider doing something social at the end of each day. Working from home can be isolating, so it is important for you to find ways to interact with other people. You can do this by talking to your significant other, meeting up with some friends for coffee, or taking an aerobics class after work.
A:
Try to keep set work hours. Dress for work even when you are at home. Take a lunch break. Prevent yourself from doing household tasks. Treat yourself at the end of the day.
