That is one big mould for a home shop :bow: What are you going to cast it with? |

Hi It is a fair size I am trying to work out its volume I can weigh it find out the SG of Oak then work out its volume Putting it in to water to measure its displacement is not a good idea The base will be cast in Aluminium John |

If you have a reasonable size offcut of the oak, shaped such that you can easily work out its volume, you could weigh both that and your pattern. Then, roughly speaking because of your birch ply and filler, the volumes of the pattern and the offcut will be in the same ratio as their weights. Andy |

Hi Andy I was thinking if i weigh the pattern find out the SG of Oak The formula is Volume = Weight /SG John |
