Jez Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Available from all good hobby shops near you: Cost me ?2.99, must be worth that for the effect you get. The only problem is that the card sometimes doesn't pull through square so the ripples are a bit off scew. I will give you a bit of a demo if I can in the next pics. Quote
Jez Posted September 24, 2007 Author Posted September 24, 2007 imply feed the silver sheets in and you get..................? Quote
Jez Posted September 24, 2007 Author Posted September 24, 2007 or you get green sheets............. Quote
Jez Posted September 24, 2007 Author Posted September 24, 2007 Best thing is you get the ripple or corrugation on both sides: Hope this is of some use to some people. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 What a brilliant device... I bet it will be used by many on here.... I wonder if it would do some thin soft aluminum... or thick foil even \ Quote
Leakeyvale Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 can the ripple effect be modified? Made smaller or larger? Quote
Tractorman810 Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 tha looks intresting, may have to look into one of those at some point Quote
rich.new holland Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 i got one of those but it can take wider pieces of card but it cost me 9.99 :'(i wish i saw that one for 2.99 as i havent used it that much ,well not enough to make it worth it anyway \ Quote
Massey Boy Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 we had one of them at school good pice of kit Quote
Jez Posted September 24, 2007 Author Posted September 24, 2007 No it nearly broke when i put two pieces of card through it. There is nothing stopping someone trying to make one from wood if you were really skilled? No the ripples are set to about 3mm wide Quote
Tractorman810 Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 3mm wide not to far of scale that, i use 3mm ema plasti card so its good, Quote

Thanks for posting Jez, very useful inof mate. Agent Jez Mission 4 - Closed My next plan is to get another and glue them together so it will take wider pieces of card. Quote

Deerepower Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 at least you know where to get one from now Ben Quote
FB Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 at least you know where to get one from now Ben yep, might try next week...trouble is thats where all the students hang out :D Quote
britainswomble Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I can get some Ben... you buy the machine... I supply the metal mate.... I reckon some real thin ali will be just the job What about drinks cans as a supply of sheet aluminium. Watch yer fingies on it though....cos it dont arf cut. Cutting it without wrinkling the edge might be a problem so I would suggest a paper guillotine. The type with the long arm would be better than the wheel type. Er....jus tryin to be elpful. Quote
