DIY Vacuformer Part 2: Build a No-Weld Heat Box
Ғылым және технология
Ever thought of making your own vacuum forming machine? We continue my DIY vacuum forming machine build by fabricating a heat box for the heating elements that I pulled from an old toaster oven. Best of all, no welding or fancy tools are required. Transform readily available materials into a functioning heat box and unlock the potential of custom-made plastic forms!

easy to build!! almost as easy as a pre built kit!! ... with Rachel as teacher, of course!! 🤩🤩🤗🤗
Ayyyye, glad to see you're still making videos 💖
Ok...You left me hanging. I watched part 1 and part 2 of this project. This is like a cliffhanger🤣 Is there or will there be a part 3?
Yes maam 😉
your enthusiasm is contagious! love the channel.
You can use pop rivets if you ever work with thin sheet metal like that. It will be way more easier than nuts and bolts. 👍
U could use a screen installer roller tool and cross brake for strength..they have a tool for such to use on like the ground but a screen tool works and make a x on each side and it will be sturdy..maybe help in future
when is part 3?
