Making Glass!!!

The next part continues to hold me in fascinated glee even after these past 5+ years of doing it. You have to build up a little pedastal to raise the mold above the vacuformer working surface. This is so enough of the plastic can be drawn over the mold and not tent out at the bottom details. I use 2x3s to straddle my wifes stove, ie the heat source. I place the vacuum cleaner accessary nozzle into my vac box, turn it on! palce the palstic holder over the burner wait for it to sag in the middle and quiclky palce the heated plastic over the mold and vac table and whoosh, instant canopy!
