    Rob constructed the mold for his sea hood out of wood, at top.

With the help of a miter box, Rob cut off the end loop a few inches into the next loop, leaving a handhold and a prong, middle left. He rounded off the end with an edge trimmer he uses on his router, which is small and easy to transport and hold, at left.
