Few days back a friend came over bringing this with him; any idea what it is ? :)
Well of course a giant 18 liter ceramic water egg!
I got an assignement to make bases for ten of these so this is the story of the prototype.
First of we made a mould from an (half-a-century) old newspapers and tapestry glue.
Then the first models,
And with little adjustement it seems to work out allright!
Then the same process with hickory board
and the egglet
.
After this the base,
attached with 100mm screws to pre-drilled holes, no glue needed for this one.
Lo and behold! This egg has more water in it you drink in a week! ;)
