walleye4 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have a few ?'s for you tacklemakers out there. I bought a blank mold to design my own spoon and need some advice. 1. I want to draw my design on one side of the mold and then transfer it to the other side so it is even on both sides. What can I use that will transfer my pattern? I have tried a dry erase marker and it kinda works but I can't get the whole pattern to transfer. Any suggestions? 2. What are some tools that I could use to cut the mold myself? I have a dremel type tool that does cut aluminum but I don't have a router type base to fit it like you can get with the real Dremel tool.

rock Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Walleye4 Check out the Tutorial Section where I posted a primer on aluminum mold making. Hopefully it will give you some answers and guidance. You can use a double sided tape, or cut out two identical sillouhettes and place them on the mold with glue stick on the outsides. I also showed the various cutting heads I used with the Dremel tool that worked well for me. If you have any questions after reading, give another post here and I will check in with you. Good Luck!

walleye4 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I can't find the tutorial section. Can you post a link to what your telling me about? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye4 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I found it, great tutorial! I have everything you showed basically. I am still going to try and find someone to rough mill it out for me so I know the thickness on each side will be the same. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
