5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a Useful Hands on Book, September 3, 2002

Eric J. White "Ships don't come in, they're b... (Windsor, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Secrets of Building a Plastic Vacuum Forming Machine (Paperback)

This guy is GREAT! He has a whole series of books on building different shop equipment. I have purchased a couple of them. They are VERY useful, VERY exact, and the parts are accessible. Some of the parts he reccommends I found I already had in my shop. If you want to build any of the equipment he has listed, I strongly reccommend his book on the subject. Even if you plan to buy a "profesional" machine, it's a good idea to tinker first. You will be happy with the books, and it is money well spent. STRONGLY reccomend.

This review is from: The Secrets of Building a Plastic Vacuum Forming Machine (Paperback)

The plans take some time to digest but are doable if studied enough. I would have liked a blown up (expanded) view of the entire sytem included to see where every thing fits at first.

This review is from: The Secrets of Building a Plastic Vacuum Forming Machine (Paperback)
