Jack of plate

Just finished my first attempt at a jack of plate. Not perfected but overall a decent attempt (and it stands up on its own!).

what did you use for the plates themselves?

Went with plastic since it was my first attempt and the plastic was free. It also means I can throw the entire thing in a washer and clean it when I need to.

What kind of plastic did you use?
What shape of plate?
How many?

Primarily Flat sheets of ABS plastic and some curved ABS plastic. I lost count but I estimate around 500 1.5"x2.5" plates. The shapes were rectangular with the corners cut of into an elongated octagon, with a hole punched through the center.

That is Bad-Ass. I can't believe nobody pointed that out yet.
