  • As far as I can tell, I’m one of the only people in the world hand making discs, so I thought I’d show you the process!
    It’s hard and time intensive, but once you throw it, every second was worth it!

    It’s not ideal but it is really affordable. If possible move your press higher up on the wall and give it a longer handle to give you more leverage. Also attaching a chain to the press handle and a pulley to the ceiling you could make it so instead of lifting you just pull down using your body weight.

    • @MatticusNicholas

      I was gonna say a 3-to-1 (or more) MA rope pulley system. will take up less space than extending the lever, and yeah it can be arranged so that the force needed is downward (so gravity could do the work).

    Very cool and impressive; glad I stumbled onto this. A little winch is exactly what I was thinking while I was watching. Attach a D ring to the floor, another ring on the handle, another to the ceiling. Use a little winch and cable to bring the handle down, then move the winch and attach the hook to the ceiling to pull it up. That would be the easiest way. You risk bending your equipment if it's not quite right, you would have to make sure everything was cool before you implement it. A threaded screw would work too except you'd have to redesign a lot. Good luck.

    Food for thought. Depending on how much force it takes to plunge the plastic into the mold I would look into an electric hydraulic pump that way it’s not to hard on you pushing and pulling the plunger in and out and you could hook one pump up to two molds so two at once. Just a thought for you.
    The discs are looking good keep up the good work. Can’t Waite to get my hands on one or more.
