DIY plastic injection molding machine

[beaufort-fj60]

anyone here have a homemade plastic injection molding machine?

in the mail I get a catalog named "lindsay's technical books" in the current edition they are selling a few books on making a homemade plastic injection mold. There are two models they are selling, one hand powered model can mold up to a 1/2 ounce of plastic, and the second is powered by your drill press and can mold a little more than an ounce of plastic.

That would be impressive to see....Molding can be a complicated deal.....water lines, mold temps, ejection....the list goes on. there are companies out there that if you have an idea they will make the mold, supply the resin and mold you parts....there are lots of them out there but here is one...
