DIY Custom MDF Wood Hatch Molds

Are you doing a boat restoration and need custom-sized deck hatches?  Are you looking to save some money by making them yourself?  If you have GOOD knowledge of fiberglass part fabrication, my DIY MDF wood molds might be the ticket.  PLEASE NOTE VERY IMPORTANT -  Sure you can cut the MDF pieces yourself but speaking from experience, it is a lot more difficult than it sounds using hand tools.  There are many factors to consider including how thick your lid will be.  What size coring material are you planning to use? Have you considered all of the clearance issues so that the lid opens without jamming against itself?   I've taken all the guesswork out of building a mold using my CNC Machine Cut MDF molds. My molds are delivered as RAW MDF and will require you to prep them to be usable as molds.  The prep techniques will depend on how many parts you plan to make from each mold.  I can offer some guidance on how to build the molds such that they are durable enough to survive multiple part
