With the new new board now filled, and with 2 and a half balls of twine gone, it takes roughly 6ish hours to complete just over a meter of cotton ribbon @ 14:1..
In to total the strap has 1442 stitches, which is now quite a scary thought, I have to make about 5 of these....
The Key
With it now sprayed and major details completed, it should be ready for moulding by Wednesday. All there is to do is refine some of the details and make some sharper edges.
-The mould will be made in two parts with the seam running along the top edge of the key making flashing easier to remove. With a nice mix of aluminium and iron powder a nice steal looking key will be produced with magnetic properties, ma
king it attract to the back pack.Things left to do
- Watch battery, still need to find some brass, copper or aluminium. No luck so far, if all else fails they will require a similar cold casting method, but without the preferred chrome effect.
-Decide what to cast LED from, currently considering clear fast cast from either alchemy or mould life.
-Need good large scale printers with flexible plastic capabilities
Note - added LED plans to links....
