Setting up moulds on table

Nov 6 - Nov 18 2007

Spent a very cold two weeks mounting the moulds on the table. Temperature inside the garage did not get above 4C.  Hope the weather gets warmer otherwise it will be a long wait before stripping can start. Before starting nicked each mould at the top with a saw cut to help line up. Used the method described in Ted Moores book to create the string top center line. Have screwed blocks to table from underneath.
