[ QUOTE ] Just use a gl*** and tile bit from the hardware store. It will look like a arrowhead. Work slowly and don't force the bit. [/ QUOTE ] Well I knew it was possible, I have seen some things at those god forsaken craft shows my wife drags me to....I saw one of those gl*** blocks (the kind they used to use for windows in brick building ba*****ts) with a hole drilled in it and stuff crammed into it. I figured if an old lady with a penchant for making tacky home furnishings can do it I can too.... Now I just need more info on resins and stuff like that. Anyone? For the shot-gl*** a clear resin with a brown tint and for the skull/devil-heads etc....what do they use? And how do they make the molds? Ohh and what are the molds made of ?!?! SHEESH, I don't ask for much do I?
After surfing here in HAMB-sea for a while I discovered that my Swedish friend must be a cousin of MR BONES! They look exactly the same!!

The website also has a great "How To" section on making all different kinds of molds, like 1 piece, 2 piece, etc and shows some examples of casting different items like model cars and stuff....could easily be used to take a mold from an existing skull and cast a new one!! Hope this helps I'm going to cast my own shift knob too...except I am going to take a mold from a 4 to 5" Tiki and cast it from aluminum then polish it up nice and bright Paul

Not a shift knob, but I had to fill the hole left in my 50 Chevy steering column, when I put my shifter on the floor
