Two-Part Mold

This last thursday night I finished making my two part mold (thanks to Alex the shop guy who stayed late so we could finish), and it is really starting to come together. By cutting out the shape on one board and then sanding it down perfectly I was able to make a key, and from there just use the router to make the additional five layers of my mold. It made the process go really smoothly and faster.

Now I have two, two-part molds. Each mold for each half of the lamp. I also went to Home Depot and got all the materials to finish the lamp. Today I went to the bookstore and found some really great textures rice paper that I'm excited to use for the lamp shades. Until next time....
