Thanks for pointing this out. he hasn't changed a bit, but I still think he looks like Jason from Friday the 13th in the beginning of the commercial.

I loved the Vacuform. You melted plastic and used a vacuum to form it around molds.
Made little boats etc. I was so jealous of my next door neighbor who had one.
I recently saw one at an estate sale and had to talk myself out of buying it.

What was the ThingMaker?
Was it plastic?
I was telling Ryan about taking a pot of lead to school, melting it at the school kitchen stove and showing the class how to mold BULLETS!!!
Really?
Molten LEAD and making BULLETS at school????
If I remember correctly, I also showed the class how to load shells with black powder.
How things have changed....I remember making enough slugs for everyone in the class.
Imagine doing that now
