Cutting the Pattern

The paper templates were made by photocopying the supplied pattern 13 times, for each of the 7 mold pieces. The halves were taped together and taped to 1/4 hardboard to make permanent patterns.
Since our last post, we got a new helper in the shop. She is a 6 month old lab puppy named Ebby. She helps clean up by eating the sawdust!

The hardboard pieces were cut out on the bandsaw. These are now permanent patterns for the mold stations which can be used over and over.

This is just one of the patterns. Once these were cut out, they were transferred to 5/8' MDF and routered out.
