[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 212249, member: 376"] Roy, You wouldn't necessarily need a big commercial vacuum press like the one they show there on DIY... they make [URL="http://woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=5086"]small electric vacuum pumps w/ bags[/URL] for the hobby woodworker, or if you're really trying to do it on the cheap, they make [URL="http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=5200&cs=5086&pcs=fam"]manually pumped models[/URL] as well. Then there is always the 'old-fashioned' way: lots and lots of clamps :D From what I've read of doing some of this sort of thing, like veneering, forming bends and twists and other 'non-linear' stuff, one of the tricks seems to be using a slow-setting resin glue that has a long open time. That and making the blank oversize to allow for some 'creep'. HTH, Monte [/QUOTE]
