10:16 PM Tom_L: other half
10:17 PM Tom_L: dots are locating dowels
10:18 PM Tom_L: before you use it, you should drill & tap 2 holes in opposite corners of them on one half so you can screw the mold apart

10:18 PM Tom_L: like i did there
10:19 PM Tom_L: dowels are visible inside but the screws will separate it
10:20 PM Tom_L: you also may want to drill a hole in the bottom end but i didn't put one there because i wasn't sure
10:22 PM Tom_L: also, i could put dimples on the outside of the mold where the holes locate and you can drill thru them to the part after you debur it
10:22 PM Tom_L: that way they will locate exact
10:22 PM Tom_L: you would have to plug them during casting
