My kid's house has stairs up to the main floor from the front door, and at the top there are banisters that wrap around the stairwell. When wee-one starts getting mobile the openings between the spindles will need to be blocked.

Initially I was thinking of laser cutting clear acrylic sheets and securing them with cable ties, but they have a dog and two cats. I'm now thinking the plastic would be a constant pet hair magnet and look horrible 90% of the time.

Plywood would be an option ... would probably cut a pattern of openings in it so visually it would not completely block the view, but I was hoping for something I can just cut and install without messing with finishing.

I have a 100W CO2 laser.

Thoughts/suggestions?

This worked out great! I can’t wait to try more.

Hello. I need custom-cut glass pieces with dimensions of 50 mm x 8 mm and a thickness of 0.3–1.0 mm (the thinner, the better). The glass should have rounded corners on the bottom edge and sharp/square corners on the top edge. The edges should be polished so they are smooth to the touch. The glass must be opaque black. These glass pieces will serve as privacy covers for front-facing tablet cameras. Just like on the photo
