Todd, Thanks for your time and effort in preparing and posting your method here. I used it for excellent accurate results. It is well presented and thought out. ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") I used one piece of 23/32" AC plywood 20"x96" and got 6 pieces for glue up for my complete outside mold and 7 inside mold pieces for a solid bending mold (I need to add 1 more piece for the inside) plus scraps for inside presses.  Thanks again Ed |

Is there a specific reason to use birch ply over MDF? |

I followed Todd's tute on the mold I used but instead of birch, I used MDF for the middle layer and some pine for the outer. I was trying to use what I had on hand. I coated it with poly to deal with any moisture issues with the MDF. It has worked fine so far. I’ll do the same on my next one. |

Quote: Is there a specific reason to use birch ply over MDF? I would say weight would be a consideration. You could certainly use MDF, but it sure makes for a heavy mold. Nice tutorial BTW Todd - I make all my molds this way now. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") -Mark |

Just curious, is that ribbon of some sort on the sides? |

In the states, you can buy it at Wal-mart (Wright's Bias Tape). Don't know if you have Wal-mart or its equivalent up north. |

Thanks for the repost. I was able to use this method tonight. I patterned the Allied parlor plan. Worked great. Thanks again. |
