With the prospect of having to do a fair bit of work with foam (expanded polystyrene / styrofoam) for a YouTube video project, I ended up going down the path of making my own full size foam cutter.
To buy a full size table cost around $600, so that wasn’t an option. Then every DIY video I had seen on making your own hot wire foam cutter featured fairly complex and time consuming projects.
I improvised this foam cutter with materials from around the shed, and it accidentally turned out pretty darn good.
Not only is it a professional table sized cutter, but the angle of the wire can be changed on both axis, plus the temperature of the hot wire can be varied.
Yeah it’s a little dodgy around the edges but for a build that only took me around 20 minutes and cost nothing in parts, I’m pretty happy how it turned out
Thank you very much for this video. It has stirred up some ideas about what materials I have on hand and how to emulate your project. I really like your presentation. I think my sense of humor and yours might be on very much the same level.
One of us might want to worry about that.
Regards.
