Check out this close out special from Vac-u-clamp Fifty bucks for a hold down that works great on a guitar body. I've had it for several months. It works great.

Also, I had the chance to attend Charles Fox's Contempary Guitar Building. Great class. Learned more in a week than I thought possible. He demos several vacuum tools. All home made from materials available from the local hardware store.

Bob,

IF you got 6-8 orders for radius dishes/vacuum lids, what would the sale price be?

I've been dinking with the idea of adding vacuum press capabilities to the shop. While surfing the net, I came across Joe Woodworker, In the articles you will find an article about clamping with DIY plans/instructions for the EVS, the Electric Vacuum System. It may be worth stopping by and seeing what you can garner from it.

I'll call around for quotes on acrylic on Monday. The pricing has been really wonky on acrylic over the last year, so I need to get up to date pricing on whole sheets for the dishes. I'll put up a second thread for them.

I just called Vac-u-clamp and placed my order for their closeout special. I told him that I called because someone posted to OLF and he said that he wondered what was going on since he's sold 14-15 of them in the last two days.
