Day 5 - Finish cutting the mold and shaping the back braces

I finished cutting the copies of the master mold template on the table router.
I lined up 3 pieces using a try square ruler.


I when I was sure that they were aligned correctly, I clamped them together.


I drilled pilot holes through the pieces and countersunk them and then screwed them together.
I sanded the joined pieces lightly to ensure that the joints were totally smooth on the inside.


I repeated this process to create the second half of the mold.


I finished shaping the back braces with a chisel.


I sanded the back braces to smoothen out the chisel marks.
