An idea: A LEGO Casting Clamshell
Posted: Sun May 29, 2011 12:17 am
So I was thinking that maybe I could build a casting clamshell out of LEGO. Here's what I've come up with. I still need to get some casting clay to fill it with, and it looks pretty crummy right now since I threw it together so quickly. Basically all you need is thin lego pieces, clay (childhood points if you use play-doh), and super glue to hold it together. It's thicker than it looks in the pictures.
Not sure how well it'll actually work, but I'm having fun with the idea. Customizing it could be fun, and hell, it's LEGO!
I used those joint blocks in the back so it can swing open and closed, and the inside are the smooth-topped pieces except for at the end so it will close smooth and straight.
