I've made reasonable progress on carving out the pattern board. Got the alphabet done and the numerals and punctuation marks are ready to carve. The font is 72-point 'Franklin Gothic Book' in bold, it's just on 17mm tall.
I seem to have acquired a vertical spindle-moulder that came in quite handy for bulking out around the letters
and I appear to have tomorrow's work cut out for me
This is about the most arty-crafty thing I have done since I left school over forty years ago. Coming along ok I think, I'm tossing up whether to cast the negatives in the hyper-expensive soft rubbery stuff that I have left over from a previous project, or plaster of paris. Might be decided by how much of the rubber stuff I have left. The final positives I think will be fibre-reinforced auto body filler.
