Decided I needed a larger infusion tank a few months back. So here is the end result. The permanent lid is not made yet so the acrylic will suffice for now or the metal lid. The toggle clamps really do nothing other than help with the initial seal and alignment. Could have been perhaps 6" taller, but finding an available tank was proving more difficult than I thought. So at least I can infuse some what larger blanks for saws and such. Recently infused a piece of quilted maple and turned it for a lathe handle, as well as mallets, etc. The real down side to all this is the cost of the resin, but it's great for turning figured woods and burls. Minimizes tear out.Made some mistakes along the way, but I will know for the next time. ( Maybe )
