I worked with Pete today to begin construction of the Vacuum Press. This is the manafold. I didn't take a pict after we put it together with plumber's tape, but I will add that later. I'll use the press to make many parts that require custom plywood. Many of the main diaphragms require a support to be built into the bottom of the hoop to support the floor boards. I'll make those with the press. Also, the fuselage shells will be made with the press as well. I bought the kit from Veneer Supplies. So far, I like what I recieved. Excellent service. Check 'em out.
