Vacuum Former Started

I've also located some steel angle iron languishing in the shop, which can be used for the former's frame- the part which holds the plastic in place and swings it between the oven and the platen.
Awesome
Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I'm itching to do some forming.

Cool!

Way cool!
Oh, boy! A new gizmo for making toys ;-)
Actually, this has potential for making all kinds of things. Good job, Michael.
