Ok Guys i'm only getting closer to bending some sides but it's looking promissing. since i can only work in that shop of mine so little time during week on evenings and on week ends when i'm not on duty, i managed to steal someone's kitchen table top and build me a mold, my wife wouldn't let go of ours! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yesterday was just great, i finished my mold and made a side template and some cauls for my spreaders, i'll have to finish them today and if i'm lucky, i should be able to bend some side as well. Here are some pics, enjoy! 1-2-3 are showing the mold still square on all sides 4- my bandsaw has seen some action! ![]() 5-i trimmed all around the mold to make it lighter when i'll be sanding the rims 6-7, some finishing sanding all around 8-9 shellaced the mold and voila 10-11, i was curious to compare my previous molds with the latest and i realized that i seem to be building lighter, don't ask me why! ![]() 12-13, made the cauls for the spreaders with the scrap cuts from the mold, a bit of finishing touch has to be done on these 14-end are pics of the side template for my future dread, i used wax paper to transfer the side lines from the plan to the 1/2" plywood board Off to make some more sawdust before the relatives arrive for Easter sunday! ![]() |

Good going Serge, my friend. I cheated on work-work at home and glued my back to the rim. No major disasters, at least. See you later. YF,Mike |
