Can you be RatBoy the Elderās roommate? Isnāt he in a zombie phase right now? Donāt you have to take the top bunk, though? And no rattling the chains at night?
[Edit:] Hah! Fixed it before I got Donalded (again) didnāt I? Is there a record for the number of Donaldings in this thread? Am I the winner yet?

@shaddack, quick, I need to figure out how to make Bakelite, how do I make two tons a year?
Phenol and formaldehyde, some catalyst. Mix, heat, make a condensed goo. Add a filler, wood flour is common, asbestos can also be used. Put into a mould, pressurize, heat to 150 'C for a while.
Processing of 1 kg per hour, given 8 hour workday, would require 250 workdays for two tons. Doesnāt sound excessive.
More details needed?

Hrm, the BOM doesnāt sound insane, but pressureā¦ I have access to a number of six axis mills, and want to make Bakelite lego bricks, but I have to come up with the Bakeliteā¦ Is this a fools errand?

If you donāt pressurize it, you get porous brittle result. Here is some info about injection-molding bakelite.
The pressure can be delivered by standard way of a screw, like the conventional injection moulding from melt does. Maybe even just good clamping of the mould parts would do the job; the purpose of the pressure is to suppress bubble generation within the material.
Beware of the required mechanical tolerances. Lego bricks are made of ABS, a tough robust material. Bakelite is however fairly brittle. (Maybe use hemp fibers instead of wood flour, to get a more robust composite?) It will be prone to wear at the edges where the parts snap together. Also, for a good snap there have to be fairly tight tolerances; maintaining these is the magic behind Legos working well.
Further questions?

Might the most recent episode of Doctor Who be the best piece of scifi, perhaps the best piece of television ever produced?
