i started making the pattern today, but i stopped because i realised making the outside part with wood is going to be too hard unless i glue heaps of bits togeather (cant be bothered with that) so i think i might make one out of foam with my hot wire foam cutter then cast that in aluminium (at the same time i can melt heaps of scrap and make ingots so i have clean metal for anything important) then clean it up, glue it to the wooden half of the pattern then cast it in copper
ill probly have to buy some copper to make it, ill just get some from the scrap metal yard since im gonna just go there and see if they have some small bits of copper or brass sheet (3mm+) for the tops of these blocks and ive also got to get some aluminium tubing for something else so ill see if they have anything, if not i might just buy some copper ingots
