Day 487: trying again with sand

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 487:

Building my new frame didn’t take long because I’d started one the other night in case something happened, which we all know it did.

(I’m still picking shards of lava-smacked clay out of my hair. Not sure how I didn’t lose an eyeball.)

So now I’m packing sand into it instead of clay. The sand here seems to pack well – the grains look and feel pretty consistent – so i’m hoping I can pack the entire mould, carefully remove the wood templates, pour the metal once the sand has dried, and maybe have rails.
