hang10tiki we had a perfect day without any leaks or injuries.

GROG its set in stone and unchangeable, like a Moai.

LoriLovesTiki we don't like missing events either because of all the fun people that are there.

TikiAno there are times I think I'm missing some trick on how to do it better and faster. I keep plugging away.

MadDogMike your good luck wishes worked. We had a great day.

lunavideogames I am slowly making some Bobs that I post here. If you see one you like you can put a hold on it until it is glazed and then take it or pass. We have plans and can't make Marketplace on June 8th dang it.

Use my trick and practice, you'll be able to do it. I've only used that trick a few times and it works.

Progress Report: Dan is waiting for me in the garage to start on a second mold of the Crawl mug. I'll try to put up more photos tonight. Here are the first set from yesterday.

We cut a board that was the right size for the mold thickness we wanted. Oh GROG we are too scared to make it thinner.

Dan made a bunch of snakes for use in plugging cracks.

I used a snake to mark the section for the first piece of the mold.
I brushed it to make the contact tight.

I put the tiki face down on top of a soft chux. Watch for those at estate sales they are good for many projects and packing.

I packed clay around the tiki.

I added the mold walls and finished off with snakes. This is ready for the first pour of plaster.

Gotta Go Dan's calling me to work. Cheers, Wendy
