Firewood Dome
Immediately adjacent to our mold-making / casting area Ojar is having his workers construct this huge firewood dome! Everyone is jealous of the scale . But, we persist. Today we built the flask for Victor and are filling it with sand. Here are a few step-by-step images:
Nine thousand lbs. of silica sand arives
The silica sand for the resin molds arrived this morning.

Everyone pitches in to help build the flask.
Victor is happy!
Other molds are being worked on as well.

Ben & Liz’s molds are being prepared for the second half. They will be made tomorrow.
The cold weather has moderated a bit and the temp is perfect for working. We have had no serious rain to date and hope that this trend will hold. Keep following.
great blow-by-blow! what craziness does Ojars have planned for the firewood dome?
Ditto Stuart’s question about the dome!
