Fix the four corners with weights.
Then, by heating with a burner, the brass plate is processed so that it has a curved surface according to the mold.
The brass plate maintains a curved surface along the crate even when the weight is removed.
However, probably because it was heated at too high a temperature, the wooden frame was burnt and the upper side of the brass plate became dirty.
Therefore, cover the claws on the back side of the side plate with clay ...
Fixed to a wooden frame.
After that, pour the plaster into the crate.
