Vacuum forming machine - former - how to book
This is the book that all the other books on Vacuum Forming Machines seem to be based on. Well perhaps not all of them, but I have seen most of them and they really do appear to be inspired by this book, originally published in 1972. Quite frankly this is the BEST "How To" book on the subject.
If you are interested in building your own Vacuum Forming Machine then this is a MUST HAVE book. It has detailed plans and instructions to guide you through the process. If you are interested in creating thermoplastic stage scenery, set dressings and props for theatre (theater) and film productions then this book is a must have. You will also want this book if you are interested in plastics, plastic fabrication, plastic pressure forming, plastic thermoforming, moldings, molds, models, model building, miniatures, rigid costumes or rigid costume parts, radio control or RC car bodies and parts, RC boat hulls and parts, RC airplane bodies and parts, prototyping, sign making etc.
