Wow. so that must be timed to advance, like the sync they used in WW1 kites (aircraft) so the machine guns would miss the propeller…? That sent my brain into a tight loop. Of course, with image manipulation it’s hard to invest belief in anything you see anymore.

@shogun says: have you ever heard of a Rose Engine?
Nope! But the googles has!
I feel like @rbtdanforth would like this.

It sounds very cool!
Imagine as a Doorknob Manufacturer!
Many of my “avatar” designs are similar 
Rose Engines are a crazy rabbit hole and also one of those cases where the machine looks even cooler than what you make with it.

Oh I just want one of these so much. My ability to fix old machinery is pretty limited so I’ll have to enjoy watching others from afar.
Someone needs to get this and tell me if it’s as cool as it looks:

ooooo…only 2 grand too for the first 100 orders. 10/5 here I come

Or smaller and cheaper…
from same company
That’s their vacuum forming machine that people were excited about recently. Another option if you want a small, inexpensive vacuum former is this one from the dental industry. It gets good reviews from a number of maker types.

I have used neither a vacuum former nor a pressure former. So, my sense of the differences comes only from reading and watching videos about them.
