- 🔧🔥 Calling all prop-makers! Have you ever wanted a vacuum forming machine for your projects but buying one is just too expensive and building your own seems too complicated? I'll show you how to make your own beginner-friendly vacuum forming machine, step-by-step, with no welding for less than $150!
We're tearing down my thrift store toaster oven to harvest the 4 heating elements inside so we can build our own custom heat box for my DIY vacuform machine. Second-hand stores usually have a good stock of these toaster ovens but you can also use heating elements from space heaters.

Was surprised to see you on Motor trend TV last night. I liked the way the El Camino turned out!!! Much thanks for the Arduino tutorials!!!
Rachel's brilliance is only surpassed by her beauty
The toaster drew first blood! I think you showed it who the winner is! ... see ya on the next zoom workshop. I'll have some cool metal spider legs to show off! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! I can't wait to see them. We can also start coming up with a plan for the animatronic gargoyle!
I never thought of using an oven, totally slipped my mind
Cool project. Now I want to make my own.
Nice project. I think I have to take my toaster apart just as far to get all the crumbs out. I would guess that the glass door was cloudy from the plastic bread bag touching the hot glass. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.
That definitely could be. Whatever that film was, it was there to stay 😆
For people unsuccessful in stealing the family toaster oven the elements are cheap online.....
🤣 There are definitely good deals out there!
$30 for USED toaster ovens? Thrift stores are losing it.
Yep! The appliances were a little more than I expected but still the cheaper option than buying 4 individually. 😃
