You got a lot of work done in a month! Looks great. I'd like to see a video on how you make your molds especially if you fabricate from CAD. I'm finding bringing a mold from design to mirror finish without CNC to be the most time consuming and challenging process in making parts.
I disagree. It’s a heat pump, not a heating element. Plenty of articles out there where a heat pump “can” be more efficient than propane depending on several factors. But the big factor for me was I absolutely need AC in the summer as well, so a mini split took care of both issues as well as much more install friendly for me.
What is the min temp you can set a hand lay up at ? Im having trouble with my resin not setting even at 2.5% Temp is around 1 centigrade. I try to keep the resin warm but even with almost max rate of catalyst still wont get good results. Been told to try accelerator G any thoughts on this ?
@@ajhartmanaero you made a form from something like wood or foam , then you made fiberglass mold and you use the mold for carbon fiber , thank you for the information if I'm right that's a lot of hard work for every element
Wow you have it set up really nice. Awesome
Looking good, AJ!
Shop looks great. Having a place of your own to shoot is always good.
Hi AJ, great job with the new shop
Welcome to VA. We met at Watkins Glen a few years ago!

Looks great! I’m jealous of all that space!
Great videos, thank you. Can you recommend an online retailer/wholesaler for carbon fiber cloth?
Nice shop! Can you run propane or natural gas for heat? Electricity is THE most expensive way to heat.

Sounds like your shop is way to cold.
At 0:55 you talk about molds and I'm curious what they are made of ?
Fiberglass with tooling resins.
