Holy 😱 Adam Savage eat your heart out. So Awesome. This will be my life’s dream. Also the opening music. Felt like Boogie Nights. 😅🤣 Loved it. What a sweet build. Thank you Junk Yard JEDI 👍🏼👏🏼
Wow!!! Your Dad is one hell of a Jedi Builder. I've been planning to build a vac-former for quite a while. And his is the standard I'm gonna shoot for when I get my shop up and running. Thanks for a Great build video!!!
Professional level build, the vacuum pump was a brilliant idea, enabling not only a hard vacuum but instantaneous, backed by a shopvac to keep the pull constant.
Thank you Lowell, this setup uses 3 stages of vacuum, first the shop vac pulls most of the air out and sets the plastic against the platen edges, second, the large air tank sucks about 90 % that’s left, and then 3rd the vacuum pump kicks in and takes care of the rest and really pulls it down tight.
@@junkyardjedi386 After seeing a vacuum form diy build, I thought a better way would be to build a plenum under the top with 2 or 3 vacuum motors made for Carwash vacuums. And auto switches as the hot plastic was brought down so the motors would be at speed by the time the plastic was down.
Not bad... pretty decent build with good attention to detail, ease of use and safety. Reminds me of the one I helped design for 4 foot by 8 foot sheets of plastic to make fancy building and room sheathing a few decades ago... Let me take a moment to salute the hundreds of drill bits that were sacrificed in the building of dozens of molds for medieval castle panels, Sci-fi, horror/haunted houses, and steampunk... Our system became known as Nethercraft and was eventually bought out by some conglomerate... but those crazy days of prototyping and the first successes were so worth it!
I just wanted to say that, in addition to your videos being informative, fun, positive, and really well edited, I’ve been introduced to so much awesome music through them! I often watch your videos while I’m cooking dinner, and I usually end up dancing around the kitchen. So, love it! Doing an awesome job.
So now we know where you get your massive creativity from, Mr. and Mrs. Jedi are amazing parents, Mr. Jedi did an amazing job of engineering and building - along with the proper amount of safety tips and tricks for how to make this project stand out. The engine paint was a great touch on this for example along with the information about how to do the math for how much power the oven would need based on the amount of material used for the heating elements. One of the best 'how to' videos I've watched in a while.
Beautiful project 😍😍😍. Now we know where all that enthusiasm and imagination comes from. Congratulations to your parents and those beautiful crazy family. Lot’s of hugs from Bs. As. Argentina
It's great seeing how the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My dad builds stuff and taught me a lot too. He has no desire to make anything non-practical, but he'll help me out with plenty of my crazy ideas.
Ok so much for my plans of making a vacuum form.. holy cow this was great.. as an engineer the happy side of my brain was definitely lit up.. most impressive. You truly have some of the best content on the inter-webs my friend.. so happy to see the Junkyard Jedi back at it..
@@junkyardjedi386 this is true. Soon enough I will be banging out my own projects of things I've never tried but was inspired to build. This will probably be one of them.
I built a vacuum form machine back about 30 years ago. Had an industrial vacuum pump, two air compressor tanks with a total of about 10 cubic feet of vacuum space, heater element and a welded stand. Total cost was about $500. Two different size plastic sheets could be pulled. 12”x12” and 12”x18”. Pretty much used it for animatronic work. Wish I had it now.
Where did your dad acquire all those skills? Is he an engineer, contractor, or just hobbies? Phenomenal!!! Can’t forget the editing! Top shelf all the way!!
He’s amazing. He is self taught on almost everything. It comes from working with his father, who was an amazing craftsman, and self teaching along the way. Always learning new ways to make something out of nothing!
you get like this growing up in an age where there was no Internet / Instagram / Facebook and all this time consuming Social Media. People would read Books, ask other People, learn from others or just do own research. You would OWN your skills and not just copy what others did / do. I grew up in the same way and once in a while need to laugh what pwople show off on the Internet. I did this 30 years ago.... there where no GoProHero and Insta and whatever. I just have old Paper Photos from my Projects.
so awesome. He seems like the guy you send into the woods of Endor and walks out at the end of the weekend and somehow Single handedly built an entire Ewok Village .
What can I say! Your dad is "One With The Force!" Now I see where you get some of you inspiration and skills! Great work guys and gals! Thanks for the awesome video! LLAP BTW! Loved the Back To The Future skit! Awesome!
Another awesome and inspirational and Intimidating but very we’re done build. A couple other smaller versions to check out. Volpin Props and Fon Davis.
Hi there. He is retired now, but building and making was not his full time job. My grandfather was a master carpenter, and my dad has been building things all my life. Everything from simple costume props for Halloween, to a 7500 sq foot custom home that he designed and put almost every nail in himself. He's a mad man! LOL
Just wanted to say. It's a Blessing to see the Junk Jedi master at work. And on video. Is it to late to be a Padawn.And learn these skills. I Enjoy this video!. 💥😯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁👍🏿
Wonderful and so useful machine 👏👏 To watch the Junkyard Jedi in action is a privilege, now I understand why you have all the inspiration and creativity, really awesome video MTFBWY 😉👍
HUH?! At about 14 minutes in or about halfway when the first tests are being run, he whips out a zip lock bag of Nickel Chromium wire, or NiChrome. Did that take some smuggling? Im wondering though, could that NiCheome wire be somehow made more stiff, or not so flexible? Great work!! It’s awesome. And thanks for calling those forms ‘bucks’ as the older car body builders could appreciate that. Thanks again for sharing!!
I need clarification on 4:40-4:42. From a board with mesh, it suddenly becomes a bigger table, the drilled board becomes smaller and rounded? Where did the mesh table part go? was it made smaller like the holes board too? I hope you understand my query! God bless
Sorry Dinkee, the editing got mixed up, the board with holes has the mesh stapled to it underneath. And the 4 Masonite stripe were placed around the mesh. Corner s were rounded, and that completed piece was then flipped over and fastened onto the larger table top piece Hope that helps you visualize how the top was made. Thank you for watching.
Mr. And Mrs. Jedi really melted our hearts with this one! Great project!
I see what you did there!
LOL!!!! Fantastic, so glad you liked it!!!
We’re both warm people, thanks for the complimentary comment.
Watching a video where you have narrative explanations and actual procedures on how to. is a gift
Thank you!
"This episode is a little longer?"... GOOD!!!
LOL! Glad you are good with it!
Yea, I talk slow, Thanks for watching.
Best home build thermoform vacuum table I've seen. And I've seen a lot.
Thank you!
Impressive.... Most impressive.
Thank you sir!
Means a lot coming from you sir.
@@junkyardjedi386 Thanks! I always enjoy your segments.
That was an epic build, also your Mom at the end was priceless!
LOL, Thank you Brian!
Thanks for watching, she’s always been bothered by all the weathering.
Your dad’s building skills are phenomenal! Thank you for posting his build!! May the Force be with him!!
Thanks for watching
@@junkyardjedi386 My pleasure!!
Those lifting arms are way cool!
right? He is crazy awesome!
Thanks, they were a little tricky to get working right.
i really liked the inclusion of the lever to lift or bring down the hot plastic! Awesome stuff!
Yeah, that one totally caught my attention when he did it too.
Thanks for watching, yea that arm is a little tricky to get it right.
I love that you and your dad use a lot of the same tools. It reminds me of me and my dad.
Holy 😱
Adam Savage eat your heart out. So Awesome. This will be my life’s dream. Also the opening music. Felt like Boogie Nights. 😅🤣 Loved it. What a sweet build. Thank you Junk Yard JEDI 👍🏼👏🏼
LOL! Thank you!!!
Now that’s a compliment! Thank you.
That build was off the chart!!! Totally awesome 👍 😎!!!
Glad you liked it!!
That was a great build. Your dad is quite talented. Bring him back.
Thank you! He’ll be back with us next week. You’re going to love it!
Wow!!! Your Dad is one hell of a Jedi Builder. I've been planning to build a vac-former for quite a while. And his is the standard I'm gonna shoot for when I get my shop up and running. Thanks for a Great build video!!!
Thank you!!! So glad you liked it
Thanks, the guys at the TK560 forum, really helped me out, tons of info to do it right.
What a great family you've got Brian! 😃
"A family that work together, stays together"
Yes we do! Thank you!

Thank you Randal! All that’s left is for you to build your own.
@@junkyardjedi386 Vacuum forming is something I could use in my leather crafting, but I wouldn't need the oven part :D
That was fun, reminds me of my dad. He was a fully hands on, build it yourself dude. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Yes, why buy it when you can build it, Haha. Thanks for watching.
@@junkyardjedi386 amen!
Beautiful project 😍😍😍. Now we know where all that enthusiasm and imagination comes from.
Congratulations to your parents and those beautiful crazy family.
Lot’s of hugs from Bs. As. Argentina
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for watching, Carlos!
Makers Muse: tests vacuum machine.
Smuggler (dad): builds vacuum machine
Both in the same week - man, are we lucky!
LOL! Thank you Tom!!!!
Must be something in the air this week, or lack of air. Thanks for watching both channels
It's great seeing how the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My dad builds stuff and taught me a lot too. He has no desire to make anything non-practical, but he'll help me out with plenty of my crazy ideas.
Awesome!
This is AMAZING. What a mind blowing build.
God bless you and your father for this awesome video. Thank the force and may the force be with you.
Thank you!
FANTASTIC!! THE JUNKYARD JEDI STRIKES AGAIN. The MAN is phenomenal. You are one lucky padawan. GREAT VIDEO.
Yes I am!
🤯🤯🤯 holy crap he is crafty! Genius!
Yes he is, thank you!!
Wow... that is all anyone can say....quite a project!❗️❗️❗️like no other ❗️❗️❗️What a talent to know how to do the things he can do❗️
Thank you so much!
Thanks Durelle for the kind comment
What is the reason for the wire mesh inside the table?
The attention to detail is absolutely insane 😲
Wow, what a hell of a build and the editing? Absolutely killed it too.
Thank you
Awesome build. Your dad did a great job you're a lucky guy to have a dad like that.
I totally am Paul! Thank you for watching!
The Junkyard Jedi! Wow, that is an amazing build on another level of functionality! Great job!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Thank you, and I’m humbled by your comment.
Fantastic project!
Thank you! Cheers!
Whole build is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Glad you like it!
Awesome as usual. Love the red paint!
Impressive.... Most Impressive!
LOL!!! Thank you!
Great video and awesome to see your Father work on his projects. Extra bonus for having access to a vacuum machine now!
Yes indeed! Just wait until you see next week's episode ;)
Thank you Darren!
This thing looks like he is building them for his daily living!
Protect your Dad, he is a real jewel.
Thank you! He certainly is!
My morning coffee break may have run longer than expected, watching all of this come together. Just brilliant. Thank you for sharing it all!
LOL!!! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!
Just tell the boss you were doing research, thank you.
@@junkyardjedi386 lol luckily I'm working from home these days, but yes, I could certainly use that excuse when I'm in the office again.
A titanic project indeed, your dad is a jack off all trades and master of all 👍🏻,
Thank you for the bunch of tips, best for you all. 👋🏻
Ok so much for my plans of making a vacuum form.. holy cow this was great.. as an engineer the happy side of my brain was definitely lit up.. most impressive. You truly have some of the best content on the inter-webs my friend.. so happy to see the Junkyard Jedi back at it..
Thank you so much! Don't give up on any plans you have, just go for it. Check out the link we provided, they have some great stuff!
Don’t back down now, everyone needs a vac table. A Jedi never stops!
@@junkyardjedi386 yes this is true, I will still build one I just won’t film it lol..
I now have nothing to add to this space as the master has spoken
Wow, there's so much to learn here. Loving the longer episode!
Thank you! It's such a risk with a longer episode, so glad you found it enjoyable!
Your Dad is a truly multi-skilled craftsman!
He certainly it. Thank you much!
So above my current skill level but this is so cool. I dream of one day having that Junkyard Jedi style of creation. Thanks for a great vid Brian
Thank you! It looks a bit intimidating, but if you check out the TK506 link they do break it down really well. It's totally worth the read!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I will have to do that
I too did not know how to build one, until I finished. Always try new things.
@@junkyardjedi386 this is true. Soon enough I will be banging out my own projects of things I've never tried but was inspired to build. This will probably be one of them.
So very well done
Thank you kindly!
Impressive design, execution and result. Very inspiring!
Wonderfull video with a lot of instruction. I loved
@@vivamaisecommaissaude thank you
Thanks guys!
Holy cow! that was way too fun....
So glad you liked it!
Awesome!
Greetings from Munich, Tom.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for watching a world away, Thomas!
great stuff a whole family of geniuses and it's a good thing that it was longer
Glad you enjoyed it!

That was an awesome video. Your dad makes some cool and innovative stuff👍🏽
Thank you Kevin, so glad you liked it!
Thank you Kevin for watching!
Okay, I'm waaaaay impressed.
Thank you!
Thank you
Amazing work! really jealous of this forming machine!
Great job by the parental units!
Thank you!
Nice work Mr. Jedi Sir !
Thank you kindly

This was more than awesome!! Great to see all of your builds and your father rocked this one as I would expect! 👍
Thanks a bunch!

LOL!!!
Speechless.... That kind of dad I wanna be 🤣
LOL! Thank you. I bet you can be!
so awesome. He seems like the guy you send into the woods of Endor and walks out at the end of the weekend and somehow Single handedly built an entire Ewok Village .
LOL!!! Totally!!
Sounds like a fun weekend to me, Garland.
@@junkyardjedi386 name the weekend , I’ll book my travel. Lol
Definitely see were you get your talent
Thank you!
Great builD loved it
I would love to have a vacuum former, those things are so crazy useful!
They are!
Go for it Maggie, my first one way small and I used my kitchen oven and a shop vac.
What can I say! Your dad is "One With The Force!"
Now I see where you get some of you inspiration and skills!
Great work guys and gals!
Thanks for the awesome video!
LLAP
BTW! Loved the Back To The Future skit! Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
That was amazing! 🤩 The Junkyard Jedi and LovelyMother do it again! ❤️
We agree!
Thank you Josh!
Good know where the building Gene comes from ... well done!!
Yes indeed! He is without doubt the mastermind!
That was a really cool build!
Pretty cool! Not the project I was expecting. Came looking for a table top vacuum setup for moulding leather but this was cool! Earned a sub 👍🏽
Thank you very much!
Selling these? That's the perfect size for the projects I want to build.
LOL, sorry Kyleen, no plans to sell these at the moment. Glad you liked it though!
Another awesome and inspirational and Intimidating but very we’re done build. A couple other smaller versions to check out. Volpin Props and Fon Davis.
Thank you! Yes, Volpin and Fon Davis both have amazing machine builds!
I did like those vac tables as well, Darrin!
Your father is just BRILLIANT!
I could not agree more, he's a true Jedi Master!
Fantastic!!

HUH?! At about 14 minutes in or about halfway when the first tests are being run, he whips out a zip lock bag of Nickel Chromium wire, or NiChrome. Did that take some smuggling?
Im wondering though, could that NiCheome wire be somehow made more stiff, or not so flexible? Great work!! It’s awesome. And thanks for calling those forms ‘bucks’ as the older car body builders could appreciate that. Thanks again for sharing!!
Wow, Genius!!!
Thank you!
Jedi indeed 😲😲😲😲
LOL! Thanks
I need clarification on 4:40-4:42. From a board with mesh, it suddenly becomes a bigger table, the drilled board becomes smaller and rounded? Where did the mesh table part go? was it made smaller like the holes board too? I hope you understand my query! God bless
Sorry Dinkee, the editing got mixed up, the board with holes has the mesh stapled to it underneath. And the 4 Masonite stripe were placed around the mesh. Corner s were rounded, and that completed piece was then flipped over and fastened onto the larger table top piece
Hope that helps you visualize how the top was made. Thank you for watching.
awesome video .......
Thank you
Pretendo fazer uma desta talvez nao consiga com tanta perfeição e nem com a bomba de vacuo , mas com aspirador de pó. Obrigado pelas dicas
Puedes usar una aspiradora para hacer uno de estos.
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
