I love his absolute child like joy he has any time he does a project. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does and it's beautiful seeing such a passionate maker. You rock dude, keep on doing awesome work!
Have loved working with jesmonite for about a year now - this vacuum former looks like it would make things so much smoother when it comes to mould making! Thanks for the suggestion 😱☺️
I just love how this guy always does such professional looking products while still staying super easy to follow. I'd love to get that machine! I'm a mechanical engineering student and already have a 3d printer so this addition to my work space could give me a lot of new opportunities. Thanks for posting such amazing content
It's so cool to see you actually listened to what many people commented which was using a steady camera instead of a handheld one :) Thanks for listening!
We don't know how strong it is. Even if you were to cast it with a metal support embedded inside, we don't know if the edges will crack and chip off with normal use.
@@danielch6662 I have seen jesmonite used as kitchen counter tops so i would guess that with enough support cracking and chipping wouldn't be an issue. I'm planning on making a desktop in the near future so will find out
Everytime I get the notification for your videos I get so happy!!! I love you and your content so much. I would love to win the vacuum former because i’m looking to experiment with diy projects like this!
I work for a company that does full scale thermoforming by using the same properties as this product. This is such a cool representation of how the process works.
I swear this is the greatest infomercial for a vacuum forming machine ever. I've known about them but never knew how to integrate it into the workshop until watching this. Now I want one

Your video is about the most informative I have watched. You show the products from start to finish and the chemicals needed for the versus looks. Very well done, and I'm about ready to start a new hobby!
Have always been interested in vacuum forming but they have always generally been to big for the space I have available. Really cool that there is a Desktop version.
I definitely enjoyed it. I am going to be casting with resin instead, but I can use some of your color mixing and terrazzo techniques to make some nice soap dishes and rafts for my wife’s soapmaking biz. Great energy and presentation.
What a great video! The casting material you are using is a real game changer for brilliant colors and effects. I enjoyed your tips about not sanding PLA. Thanks for doing this. A vacuum former is something I had been looking at getting for a while, but could not justify the cost. Thanks!
Hi Alexandre, got to say i dont think i am in a position to make full use of a Vacuum Forming machine yet, but just seeing you work with one gives me so many ideas on what i would do with one. I love watching your videos and i just want to say that you have a unique ability to motivate and inspire. Just looking at some of the techniques you use i am truly jealous of your work space and your know-how, and you have a positive attitude mixed with a genuine joy for what you create! Thanks for making these videos for us - please keep going!
Hello Alexandre - great videos, learned a bunch from your videos! just about to turn 68 and I still am to have a flexiible mind and a huge desire to assimilate new knowledge THANKS!
This looks like a fun alternative to smelly epoxy / polyester resins - just wish it were available in the US! Thanks for the contest and for giving us a heads- up on Jesmonite!
Well, this sure made the whole process look easy compared to some other vacuum forming videos I've seen, lol. Definitely going to have to check out Jesmonite.
Its been more a week am following you on instagram. Am amaze with all the stuff you know and you did. Keep up the good work. My favorite is the black one with little orange.
It’s been a very interesting video and thank you for your clear and easy explanation. I’d like to try one day one of this machine inside my lab 🙂. Thank you
This is the first time I've seen a machine in a youtube video, where I'm actually planning to buy the machine. I've seen a lot of desktop vacuum forming machines, but they've all had some glaring issues, this is the first really well put together design I've seen.
It looks so cool just to play with the form and colors! I had a blast making soaps with my daughter - I can’t even imagine what we could do with being able to make our own molds with such an ease :) Definitely going to try the Jesmonite.
I love his absolute child like joy he has any time he does a project. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does and it's beautiful seeing such a passionate maker. You rock dude, keep on doing awesome work!
The blues on the shallow dishes remind me of The Great Wave.
Also fingers crossed for a new vacuum forming machine!
I’m amazed by how many clever tricks this man has for his projects!
I know!!

Wow that Jesmonite is awesome, so many great ideas for it, the Black with orange pieces is super cool.
Alright, need to try that jesmonite... Thanks
Dude jeah it's super fun to use, you should defeneatly try it out. I'd like to try making something bigger with it as well :)
It was my idea

I've always wanted a vacuum forming machine there's so much that can be done with them.
I've wanted one from the first time I saw The Mythbusters use one.
It's so cool to see you actually listened to what many people commented which was using a steady camera instead of a handheld one :) Thanks for listening!
I've been thinking about some jesmonite surfaces for worktops etc... Now I know it's so easy I'll DIY!!
This is so cool! Only recently came across this channel and I'm hooked. Forget Netflix, this is so much more fun to watch
Formbox vacuum...3D printer...a maker could never stop dreaming about the possibilities🥺
Imagine drinking a shot everytime Alexander says "Jesmonite".😄
You are passed out on the floor in a minute😂
Try vacuum instead ,😉
I was surprised how far a small amount of pigment went on the final colors. They look great! Thanks.
I've always made vacuum form molds from MDF with the air holes having a large countersink on the underside to help with suction
Oh... countersinking them sounds like a good idea. Thanks for sharing.
Jesmonite is a lot cheaper than i imagined for 17 Kg's of the stuff. I think that's about enough for a pretty cheap desktop with really cool patterns
I Hope I can find it in my country!!
We hope you enjoy using Jesmonite for your project! Please tag us in your creations on Instagram! #Jesmonite We love to see and share new creations!

making a coffee table with that material with the fake marble effect would be really cooooooool :D

I’ve been working with bigger vacuum formers during my bachelor degree and it would be awesome to keep working at home with this smaller version!

That vacuum forming machine would be awesome for prototyping ! Also the granito effect is really cool
That vac former looks slick. Would fit nicely in my workshop. Brain buzzing about ideas...
A very inspirational video! Both on jesmonite and vacuum forming. Would love to have one of these in the workshop 😉
Really amazing work, vacuum forming is a true labor of love to me sets my mine at ease thx for sharing your knowledge .
Thanks for this video, I couldn't understand how this machine works. Truly a great idea with utilities that have no boundaries.
Jesmonite is probably the most unique material I've ever heard of and seems alot cooler than resin to cast with!
As always, nice projects and outstanding video production quality. I didn't know you were doing so much projects with molding..
Amazing finish on the Jesmonite. Not a singe trace of air bubbles 👍
My wife used to work with one like that. Dental work uses them often. Fun.
What a cool material and colers! I love it!
I had never the chance to try out vacuüm forming, but it is a really interesting technic.
Thanks for sharing this. That vacuum former looks very nice and compact.

Very well described process. One of the best "how to" videos I've seen!
So cool! I didn’t know they made a vacuum former that was so small.
This material looks very promising. You're right that they don't list a distributor in the USA so I pinged them asking them about that.
Nice colors. Great advice for shapes that can be vacuum formed. Thanks.
Really cool designs and also nice material! Thanks for sharing! Definitely will try designing some products to make with Jesmonite!
Love the capabilities that are possible with tools and materials you are sharing.

Always wanted to experiment with vacuum forming... Hope theres more videos on it
Man, that vacuum former would be *really* handy for making custom visors and screens for props. Thanks for the chance!
Really cool designs and patterns! crazy how well that material takes pigment.

This is such a creative way to use 3D printing for the initial molds and use vacuum forming to create those nice objects.

Very cool process and material! Love seeing the capability of different equipment.
vacuum forming is so great, and having a personal sized option is simply fantastic for prototyping projects. Great video!
Really like the black and orange chip. Never heard of jesmonite before but will look into this in the future
We are happy to hear you are interested in jesmonite.com
Great projects, always loved vacuum forming ever since I tried it in Architecture school. Great for prototyping and that is a great casting material!
Really well explained, and love your enthusiasm! Jesmonite is fantastic stuff, it's hard not to get obsessed once you've tried it!
I love all your projects. And seeing some vacuumforming and knowing there might be more projects with it in the future makes it even better.
Love the colour penetration with Jesmonite. Darker seems to provide a stronger effect.
Amazing!!!!! Please make that video on more vacuum forming techniques and creative production.
Great work, never thought Vacuum Forming is so versatile. I got instant inspiration for many projects and applications :) thanks so much
Those pigments look great! That vacuum forming machine is so compact too, looks like one you can bring around. That's really cool.
Gotta say I love the range of build projects you have. From tool Restos to sound panels.
We have terrazzo floors and I have always wondered how they were made! So cool!
That is a really cool process for making short runs and prototypes!
Love all the things you do. The vacuum former looks like a lot of fun. Would like to see what others things can be done with it.
I could definitely put that machine to good use in my new tiny little workshop! Pretty cool project!
Sent me down a rabbit hole of Jesmonite, awesome use for a vacuum former!
I like your channel, like these, never heard of Jesmonite, perhaps here in the states. Am looking into using this. Great show!
This looks like a fun alternative to smelly epoxy / polyester resins - just wish it were available in the US!
Thanks for the contest and for giving us a heads- up on Jesmonite!
And now I have to dive into the chasm of vacuum forming videos on UA-cam XD. Thanks Mr Chappel :)
The black one with orange bits looks awesome, would try with other materials too 🖤🧡
Well, this sure made the whole process look easy compared to some other vacuum forming videos I've seen, lol. Definitely going to have to check out Jesmonite.
As always, an awesome video. Excited to try both Jesmonite and the Maykus vacuformer. Keep making casting and vacuforming videos
That's awesome how you share your incredible "know how"...big thumb up from Spain!!!
That undercut problem solving was top notch!
The white and blueish stuff is so pretty, looks like a foaming ocean!
Amazing tutorial and the jasmenite is awesome! Now I see the endless possibilities! Thank You for this inspiration!
Awesome video. Never used a vacuum form mold before, but now I’m interested!
You are building a strong community of creatives. It is always a pleasure to watch your content
That’s a really cool machine. The trays all came out looking cool

I've been playing with jesmonite but currently limited to a few moulds, this machine looks fantastic!! Great video
I’m also experimenting with poring smal parts and wanted to use silicone but this looks like a cheaper alternative in long term great video.
So many thing you could make with a vacuum former. I've been wanting to build one so bad.
The black and orange coaster reminds me of the carpet on the floor of the arcade and/or rollerskating rink.

Great video! Love how it's instructional yet you make something really 'yours' out of it. Looking up places to buy Jesmonite already lol
I like the top left one at 15:49 - by far the best looking one in my opinion. after that is the other one with the same shape.
Man, I love your channel. Your passion, your wood skills and your crazy ideas inspire me every time you upload a new video!
Never knew what jesmonite was but am interested in working with it in the future. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more videos
I would love to have such a machine. Great project! A video about vacuum forming would be very useful.
That machine is quite epic! No more silicone molds! Viva!
I look forward to seeing what else can be done with vacuum forming.
I love to watch your Videos. It is totally inspiring to see how much fun you have while building any sort of stuff.
Been thinking about doing vacuum forming, used do it a lot in the 80's
I have this same vacuum former new I don’t use it at all email me if you’re interested @jonathanayala65@hotmail.com
