I've read the pinned posts.  I have the shaky head, football jig, and brush jig molds.  I look forward to visiting with everyone and perfecting my game.  I have watched some videos on fluid beds.  Does anyone have a suggestion on making their own?  Thanks in advance. Happy New Year!

Fluid beds are pretty easy.

I make mine using a flat cap for the base and use knock out test caps to hold in my membrane.

Put the test cap in your fluid bed and knock out the center with a hammer and discard.

Remove and save the remaining ring.

Place your membrane over the end of the cup and replace the ring. You should have a nice tight membrane that is easily replaced.

I use Tyvek from post office envelopes or Vacuum cleaner bag material for my membranes.
