This was actually the first ever attempt we had at making a sheet of recycled plastic. We melted of HDPE, which was more than our little panini press could hold, so we’d melt the plastic on the press, and then once melted, keep it warm in a small toaster oven while we continued melting the rest.
Once we had enough, we gave it a few twists and folds to remove any air bubbles and then chucked it in our DIY bottle jack press, to give us a lovely flat sheet of marbled goodness.
After we’d processed the sheet in our Triton thicknesser, and gave it a once over with a card scraper, we knocked up a simple wooden base and attached the whole thing together.
This was three years ago and the stool is still going strong in our workshop! What do you think?
