At least half the fun of anything, is working out the "how to do it" :)

Agree with you on the steel rods..To make the initial mold..you could pack the rubber gaiter with sand, ( without distorting it )and pour plaster cement mix around it ..Then pour the sand away when the outer "mother mold" had set, leaving the rubber gaiter in place for making the male mold with the steel rods incorporated, That way you can "pour" the cement/plaster/chopped poly  core of the male mold all in one go.

That sounds like a plan indeedy

 

I've thought of another way; find a friendly hobbyist wood turner. Bribe with copious bottles of brew/wine/chocolates and ask him/her to turn it up copying a donor gaiter

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

haha you guys are killing me :)

I was actually thinking cement with an iron rod through the middle too. I have some left over cement lying around from an old opt making project that would be perfect.

I think ill take a dive and star googling wet molding...
