This is an example of how you can use a cut profile to basically lathe your plaster molds for the jigger jolly process, this is a plate and what you see will be the front. I am working in soft set plaster so timing is everything, USG pottery #1, takes about 25-30 minutes. The profile for cutting the back side of the plate is a separate template.
