Default cutting plexiglass for templates. who does this

I am wanting to cut some plexiglass for some of my traceable templates in my magazines does anyone know who will do this or had this done ? Seems like I read this somewhere on the board but can't find it now

The local glass company--the folks who repair broken windows, install plate glass, etc. In my town, that's Binswanger Mirror and Glass. Look in the yellow pages under glass repair, mirror and glass, etc. froggyintexas

We live by a small town and the owner of our local hardware store has made templates for me.

My Ace hardware will only do square shares, nothing more complicated. So I bought a scroll saw off Craigslist, but haven't tried it yet.

Check with a glass shop. I asked at Ace hardware & Home Depot. Both sent me to the glass shop. I did need to make a cardboard template for them to trace.I used a Priority Mail box that was waiting for recycle. Probably thicker than needed but it worked. I got 8-9 templates for around $40.
