We’ve featured Carbon Fiber fabrication videos from Street Bandito before, but this one is cooler yet. The process for building this small part can totally be replicated for something bigger, and other than the materials there are no special tools you can’t acquire pretty easily. This part is small, more decorative that structural, but ends up really nice and strong and is the first part he ever built himself. I dig it, and this video just makes me want to try it in my own garage. I’ve already been thinking I need an oven for the new shop in case I want to powder coat small parts or something, but this just cements the idea that I need it. An oven, a vacuum pump, and some materials and you are good to go. This is fun looking stuff and with the availability of resins and materials nowadays you can make virtually anything from Carbon Fiber.
What do you think? Would you try this at home?
