Bend Acrylic with Propane Forge Burner? 

Building a form to Bend Acrylic video out now!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0nJvEQYRq38.html

Looks great. I would never have thought to use a forge as a heat source for bending. Kudos.

Very well thought out, planned, set up and executed!! Nicely done

Awesome thank you! Had a piece of 1/4in plexy that I was able to fit into my oven at 330° for 10 mins and it worked like magic! Molded just how I wanted to! Thank you!

You saved a ton of money... Thanks man.. you are good.

That is gorgeous.

Brilliant man! I was just looking for smaller radius then I end up with a large one.

It came out really nice. I've been looking for ideas to bend some acrylic for some machine guarding at work. Great idea.

Was nice to see your project, am currently working on a homebuilt aircraft and I have to form the windshield, the pilot and backseat positions. So, am doing my due diligence to seek how to go about it. Appreciate your efforts and quality on your video.

Bad ass, I need to make something like this for displays. But I doubt I can make all this as good ad you did lol

Nice job amigo

This helps me alot on making a curve windshield for my terra jet.

this guy is a PRO

Very nice job. Thanks for the video.

Hope you enjoyed the video. To see how the Propane Burner and Forge are made start watching Part 1 of the 3 part series here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pDINz6lOEJs.html

This is very cool Mr. Row. It's your best video yet.

Great Stuff. I was looking for this technique to curve some cabinet doors in my airstream. The shop wanted $2000 to do this.

great.....

ý tưởng hay. Tks

Smart!

Nice job mate,

Try insulating the box might help with the heat loss on the ends of the box

look amazing. i would love to know how you bent the u channel that the acrylic sat in...

Another huge thing people are looking for is the material etc on creating a form for radius. I know I was.

Thank you I’m forming a windshield for a tractor it will be a more gentle curve to mount on the roof keeping weather out not a closed cabin but much less cost thank you very much

Very nice video, thank you for sharing it. I am surprised it didn´t twist. What is the acrylic plate thickness?

Hi and thank You because this was very helpful. I’m in college for furniture design but in my free time I’m looking to make more prototypes. Do you happen to have the info of the company you mentioned about mass production of bending?

I have done things like this some 25 years ago using infrared (heat) lamps. Work piece laying flat on the felted table and heat from lamps coming from the top ... not saying that anything is wrong with doing it your way

What is the best way to bond polycarbonate? I see many products for acrylic, are they suited for polycarbonate also?

Nice- many ways to do this and no matter how good you have it, there can be improvements thought of, I saw one video where they put it in the oven - they said 350 degrees F for 30 minutes- what you did us make an oven. I think if you put some sort if flame proof insulation around the wood and also found a way to seal in the heat and monitor the temperature - that might be better - but that might be more for me to do as I need to make a set up like this for the curved yacht windows we are doing- the other big thing I need to do is find a material for the molds- we need to make 4 sided curved windows, so the mold has to be flexible and also withstand moderate heat- any ideas, let me know

Was there much spring back after bending this way?

At 4:48 you drape the heated material over your "form" what is it made of and how did u make it?

You said you blackened a section of the plexiglass chemically. How did you do that?

Where did you get your smoked acrylic?

I have to bend a 5/15 plexiglass from a boat windshield, 1 plan only :) :) :) Length is 7th, width is 11". The the angle of 120 deg is 12" from the end only. How can I heat only the end then be precise bending on a 8" radius ?

where did you get the channels to join the pannels?

I wonder if someone had a thicker aluminum plate, and put heat under it then just laid the plexi on top of it? Need to see if I have any buddies with an aluminum plate!!

Is that color #2074 acrylic?

although you do a great job, this video does the average do it yourselfer no good whatsoever
