Bob’s Vacuum Former

James’ Vacuum Former

The Prop Builder’s Molding & Casting Handbook: Thurston James - Amazon

Patio Heaters (x2) - $240 - Amazon

4 Corner L Brackets (x2) - $5 - Amazon

6’ Long 1/8” Thick x 1-1/4” Aluminum Angle Bar (x3) - $80 - Amazon

I only found 4’ long pieces on Amazon, you will need to buy 4 to get the total length you need. Also I recommend making your frame a little smaller than 24” square to save on aluminum. Cut the raw material into 2’ segments, then cut the miters on the ends. Assemble the frame, then build your platen to fit inside the frame.
