Joel Adlers Digital Making

I was so excited about the blister that I forgot to take photos until I started cutting it into the shape I wanted.  Nonetheless I managed to make a deep and uniform blister that I discovered would act perfectly as a mothers day gift for my mum (a spoon rest for next to the stove). The finished spoon rest. Yum.

Starting with the roller I then used the foot powered squeezer. This caused some cracking and splitting which was not ideal! It was very difficult to make an even spreading to cause the reverse curve.  Moving onto the wooden mould the shape was made symmetrical and the curve enhanced.  Using the metal curved dolly I pulled the side curves down to make it look neat and pretty. Here is a timelapse of me making the side curves.   Finishing off the edge curve and making it even and symmetrical (and of course beautiful!).

We started our tray with 4 peices of identical timber templates. Using these to then cut a 1cm border around the Aluminium we created two trays that were almost perfectly identical (we got them confused many times). Removing the aluminium from the mould.  Like two aluminium peas in workshop.
