Wow!! looks very nice. Looks like you turned a block of foam on a vertical lathe to make that original die? What kind of material is that original die made from?

Hello jmdriscoll,
I'm sorry but I don't understand what "original die" mean, if you talking about the photo named "moulage" on myspace, I use platre on a lathe.

Congalou
the original die means, la teinture de bas.. he (and I) want to know what gave this amazing flashy color to the fiber.

Congalou, sorry for my lack of words, as the actual name is escaping me now... die was the best that I could come up with.. "used to work in a machine/welding shop"...
I was referring to the big plastic looking thing that you turned on a lathe, and ultimately made your molds from. You just called it "platre"... Would that be plaster to me?
I had emailed you about your wooden conga construction a few months back. I bought a Shopsmith since then and have most of my prints drawn out now.... one step closer anyway.
Thanks,
Mike

and everytime I want to open your myspace, it freezes my computer while loading the slide shows...

Hello congueros,
It's not so easy for me to traduce because I have learn english not at school but in a Irish pub near my house....
In a pub, with tree pint, it's easy to understand and to make me understand.... but with internet, it's more dificult !!!
I use simply plaster for the mold, and for the coulour, I use coloring agents. The harware will be the same I use for my oak congas.
I will put some pics here, but I can't show and tell everythings, You can understand That I want to keep some artisan secrets. :;):
Congalou.
