So for class I needed to design something I can make multiples of, and use for many things (almost like a second production line) I decided on a simple square with different techniques inside each one. I’m going to build one, make a mold of it, and then cast it.

So here I took two thin pieces of silver sheet, bent them and put them together to make a square. I’m about to solder.

Soldered and trimmed and sanded its about 1cm X 1cm nice and small. I’m about to put it on a sheet to make a bottom.

Soldered the bottom, I used brass to save money since I’m just using this to make a mold.

Cut and sanded ready to add a sprue.

Soldering the sprue.

Making a mold, Most people do the whole mold at once and then very precisely cut it in half. However my teacher figured out if you do the bottom half with posts in the sides, let it dry and and rub Vaseline all over the mold(and not the piece) when you put the top half on it will work the same with less work.

Top half done, now lets play the waiting game.
