Isn't this the sort of story that is prefaced by "Hold my beer and watch this..."?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

From what I remember, the sheet of heated plastic was lowered from above (if you swing it over from the side it may billow out from air resisitance.)

I wondered about pivoting about a corner before pressing down. Obviously that would muck about with the relationship between the heat source and the master - the heat source would have to be higher, but would get away from the folding motion.

Have you not finished it yet Mr Fenton? Where are the pictures?
