changing the Face of the game

[Lownslow]

i dont have the room for 2pc molds and i dont like making 1pc casts of wheels larger than 18" especially with a lot of spoke spacing so i decided to try and just cast the face of the wheel as opposed to destroying the master trying to just get the face of the rim.

i cut a piece of cardstock just enough to slip the wheel in then sealed it with glue. then i build a support box so that the weight of the mold rubber doesnt bow the sides out and the weight doesnt rest on just the wheel. i tried it before with a more barbaric method but the result was succesful.

this was the prototype that inspired the idea

im happy with the result
