Checking assembly prior to manufacture



 The outer former will be routed from two pieces of jelatong.  It will then be lined with card. 
 The outer former will close to form the outer shell surface. This surface will be seen, and so the finish is important.  The concrete will need to be poured and cured correctly to obtain a good quality finish.
 The outer shell will lock in to place on the base plate.  The base plate will have to be level and will act as the working surface.  All the components will have to be oiled prior to the pour to avoid suction.
I've checked all of the components for fit.  The components assemble correctly thus preventing wastage in manufacture and preventing a poor finish to the concrete.


The next stage is to make the components using CNC machinery.


Next steps:

1)  Consider finish to concrete.
2)  Concrete mix properties
3)  Complete grille design
