Rebuild of '75, 23' center console begins

[take a potter]

Got the mold for the bracket completed and started layup after clay, wax and 4 coats of PVA. The reliefs on the front /bottom are to give me some extra clearance for mounting transducers. Part came out of the mold fairly easy. The flat surfaces are looking really good. The corners need some work in a couple of places but all in all, very happy with my first molded part. Nothing stuck to the mold, most of the clay came out on the part, am now in the process of cleaning it up. Plan on moving it outside to wash off the PVA.















Next up will be trimming the clamping board and then laying some more cloth on the clamping board and wrapping it around to the back. Right now there are only 4 layers in the inside of the clamping board.
