Is there a reason to use vac instead of just pressurizing a bladder inside the mould?

@gabednconfused 5 years ago

this is the first time seeing your videos. I was designing composite parts in F1 for over 3 yrs of my 6yr stint and this offers the exact concepts and processes used in high level motorsport. Very nice.

All of that work for just one pipe, can’t even begin to imagine what it takes to build a koenigsegg, the entire car is a carbonfiber

@petr878 6 years ago

It's great that you have resumed the videos.

@neonnerd1364 6 years ago

After watching this I feel like my car needs a carbon intake tube.

@Thomas-lq7wr 5 years ago

You guys have brought my DIY hobbies to a whole new level. Thank you!

for the long time, finally i found channel like this

@daltanionwaves 6 years ago

There's a great deal of DIY composite videos on YouTube that often look like epoxy castings with a little bit of fiber in them... So we really appreciate what you guys are doing at Easy Comp, representing proper structural layup, in concise and useful little tutorials with slick production. Quality 🏆

Excellent. I just bought a bike frame, and the seat post the company uses has a set back or 25mm or 12mm. Moreover, a friction based approach to the securing of the saddle. A bit dangerous in my opinion. It would be much work, but watching these videos makes me hopeful a new post to match the frame with a zero setback is possible.

@Highoctane06 2 years ago

As someone who is completely new to all of this I just wanted to say you are by far the best information source I've come across!

@Rzed13 6 years ago

I don't know how I even found this video just scrolling through YouTube but that is actually a very cool process

@lukaslukas8119 6 years ago (edited)

You guys deliver great content. So good to hear, youre uploading again! Much appreciated :-)

@vrXPnJO61U 6 years ago

How am I so lucky? Just watched the 3-part mould video series a few hours back, and just an hour ago this gets uploaded! :)

@SkypowerwithKarl 6 years ago

Labor and skill intensive. Now I know why CF parts costs.

@miguelmurua96 6 years ago

Why do I find these so satisfying

@Stellarffxi 4 years ago

Your workspace is always so incredibly clean and organized... I would love to have a workspace like that!

@JF32304 3 years ago

So THAT'S how those those bike frames are made. Thank you for the tutorial 🙂

@techvette 6 years ago

Now that I'm stuck at home, I really don't have an excuse to put off my composites projects. Awesome video - thanks!

@lamontcranston8181 6 years ago

You guys have the best carbon fiber tutorials. Thank you for all that you do. Can’t wait for the next one!

@petersolomon3505 6 years ago

what a super explanation, this is going to help me to better explain the process to my clients, thanks!
