The Phlatformer is a hobby vacuum- forming machine that quick-melts 10″ square plastic sheets into form-hugging shapes. Originally built for R/C modelers to make identical, lightweight body parts, it has many uses; for example, I plan to form custom holders to display my raygun collection. The kit’s parts and thoughtful extras never skimp on quality, and include everything except a vacuum cleaner and a hot plate — I use a Rival S11P 11″ skillet from Wal-Mart ($20). The DVD build guide can be supplemented with the active forum at phlatforum.com, and although there are lot of parts, most of them are self-indexing and more or less impossible to assemble incorrectly.

    I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing problems with your blog. It appears as if some of the text in your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before.
