Thanks. I have 2 more exams at the end of this week, so it will have to wait until the weekend before I can make things start happening. I'm going to start from what I know, with the wood base and that will give me something consistent to build off of. Right now I'm still leaning to using either the 3/8" or 1/4" rod to build a frame and see where that takes me. If its too hard to keep it even on both sides I'm going to an all wood frame/ mold, but if the rod just isn't rigid enough I'm going to try a wire mesh.
Lets hope the weather cooperates.
