FTIR LED Baffle

I've recently gotten around to making my own baffles to hold the IR-LEDS and to direct the light into the acrylic waveguide. I tried to find a metal U or C channel but I couldn't find the right size anywhere! I decided to use 1/2" dowels from Home Depot - about 50 cents each. I would suggest using better wood or finding a metal channel if you can. The wood splintered and fractured easily, making it a nightmare to work. Here I've shown the led slipping into its new home :).
