    I had the pleasure of speaking to Paul this afternoon about my project and the use of carbon tubes / wrapping carbon tubes around foam core to make a strong space-frame and the shear amount of knowledge and information he gave me was astounding!! Several really good ideas and new takes and new techniques I hadn’t even considered. I’ve ordered materials from Easy composites in the past for glider and boat repair work and I’m really looking forward to working with Easy Composites on this project too! Thanks Paul!

    I was really fascinated by the tube and when he put it in the machine I nearly cried thanks for the video!

    It’s so pretty! I can’t wait to try and make body panels for my truck.

  • @omegaelixir
    Love your content, it's amazingly information dense

    great video, PS: for the novices among us a mandrel ( not a mandrill- monkey family) is a rod of metal you mount between centres in a metal or wood lathe to hold a round part securely ie a pulley or donuts shaped object, the rod holds the part by the inner bore so machining can occur on the outer surface ( otherwise gripped by a chuck, held at a centre, etc.) as this is the only way to hold it and machine successfully.

    I used this video as inspiration to make my own aero bicycle seatpost and it works great. Thanks for these awesome videos!
