Last update: sept. 29  2007

Sept 13 - starting marking out 10mm multiplex with my traced forms.

Used carbon paper to copy the center line and the horizontal water lines to the board

Then cut out using a jig saw

After cutting, checked by clamping each pair of moulds together and placing

original pattern on top. Sanded if necessary.

and now have a pile of moulds
