Hey there , new to this idea of vacuum forming, but looking at building my own table for a means to an end. I am more into my bikes and uit seems this is a nice add on tool to my lathe, bike lift, spray equipment and tool boxes... So am having a look around, ordered some abs plastice to destroy and well into the build process now..

Sorry for the long delay, been trying to perfect my vacuum former, getting it better slowly but taking some design changes everytime i work on it..

Got a good basic frame etc , but heating and vacuum is not right, I am trying to mould 4mm hips but heating is not quite right and vacuum too low..
