A pressing vacuum

Well the fun and games of pushing the cabinetmaking envelop.  My vacuum press is acting up and I have to do a partial rebuild. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.


So what's a vacuum press you may ask? It's composed of two parts. A bag, and a pump.

The object you want pressed is enclosed into a bag and you draw a vacuum on the bag causing the atmospheric pressure to press onto the object within the bag.

It has application pressing things that are flat like veneered panels. And applications that are curved.

What I'm working on is definitely curved. A few types of horns that are quite curvy. One is a set of three Le Cleach midbass horns designed for awesome reproduction.

I'll post pics of them soon.
