I decided to try my hand at forming a cone while I watched the football game tonight.
Here is the bottom of the form.
Here is the form loaded with the acrylic.
Here it is out of the form.
The black line that is visible is where the ABS pipe melted onto the acrylic while I was shapeing it.
I still need to make a jig for cutting the flange for the cone as well as the flange for the skimmer body.
I also have to make a decision on attaching the riser neck to the cone. Do I want to just cement it on the cone as a single piece, or do i want to add a break down joint there as well. I will already have a joint at the bottom of the cup and at the base of the cone...
