Ok, I've already traced the patterns for the mold onto the MDF board used to build the mold. I've begun to cut the pieces out on the band saw. Note the pieces are cut as close to the line as possible but not ON the line! They will be trimmed down later with a sanding block to the correct size.
Continuing on I finished cutting out all necessary pieces for the mold. Note the pieces that appear pie shaped do not have curved outer edges but are actually faceted, i.e. a series of straight lines onto which the ribs that make up the back of the lute will be laid.
That's it for tracing and cutting out the mold. Next post we'll begin assembling the mold.
