Preparing lower rim and fixing it on the mold



 
 
 

The lower rim is approximately 1.5" whide.

It is made by GSE and it is from pure copper.


 
 
Gudrun soldering the lower rim using an ERSA 250W iron. 
Her left hand (covered) is protected by an heavy leather glove.

 
 
The lower rim is to be fixed on the mold perfectly after it has been soldered ready. I drilled some small wholes in the mold just at the borderline between glass section and rim section. (10 wholes, one every 6 of the 60 pieces)

 
 
Florist's wire helps fixing  the lower rim on the mold.

Now the mold is ready for 
doing the glass work.
