Buckle up, there's a lot of 'em
Painted Master Parts
Assembled Master (teeth are Photoshoped in to see what size and how many to make)
First cast of main body
Cleaned up body (I had to relocated that air regulator that you can see on there).
Mold box for the magwell. (Had to make a few parts out of Plexiglas since the wooden ones ended up the wrong size)
The master of one of the sawteeth. I made the tooth out of sculpey. The large tube is just a pen tube that will allow me to suspend the tooth. The little stick is to form an exhaust hole so when I pour the plastic into the finished mold, it won't fill up without air bubbles.
This is the setup that I concocted to create the mold.
This is the mold setup right before I pour the silicone in.
This is the resulting silicone mold. This is what I will pour the urethane into.
And this is my first ever piece of molded plastic!
This is the silicone magwell mold
Here's the first pour of one of the sides of the magwell. Now we wait...
All magwell parts. Sanded, and Dremeled.
