So, I've almost got the compressor ready for action. I welded the frame out of 1 1/4" square tubing. The cube mold is made from 2"x8" douglass fir. I drilled some holes in the sides to let out any water or whatever goo i might squeeze from the art. Just some finishing touches to put on there to attach the jack. I need to figure out what kind of binder I'm going to use (acrylic medium?) and what might work as a mold release (olive oil?, linseed oil?) Also, I hope it can dry a little bit in the mold. I'll probably start by making a 1/4 cube, like a little pancake of art, see how that works out.
I love the smell of fresh cut wood.
