New project Terz 00-12 cutaway

[John Parchem]

I liked Ken's Idea of a dish and sandbags. That way you can laminate the radius into the plate.

[Dave Bagwill]

I don't have any sandbags, and if I did I wouldn't be able to confirm that they would provide equal pressure on all part of the lams.

I think a flat lam process gives me the best chance with the tools I've got at hand - at the very least, I will have a back like we all work with, and will clamp into the dish as usual when bracing time arrives.

I'm always open to ideas, though!

[peter havriluk]

How about making a 'test shot' of vacuum-bagging a veneer sandwich in the dish and confirming that the results were either valid or not, and proceeding after determining your own set of facts?

[Dave Bagwill]

I've no doubt that vacuum-bagging the dish will work, but the vacuum pump issue is still not solved.

[peter havriluk]

Sorry I didn't recall your mention of the sick vacuum pump. Does make a difference.

I'd make a sandwich -- radius dish -- waxed paper -- laminates -- waxed paper -- "sand bag" -- plywood ---- a bunch of clamps

[Dave Bagwill]

I hear and obey! :-) Gotta find a sand bag however.
