Dimensions of BE mold #8741, lamp bender sconce

Post by Cliff Swanson »

The specs listed for this mold give the length (15 1/2) and depth (8 1/2), but not the width. I'd really like to know how wide the mold is before springing any cash on it. I need a surface shaped like this, over which glass can be formed in a gentle curve that will be self-supporting when stood up on edge. Thus, the width of the mold would become the limiting dimension of the height in the case I've cited. If anyone has this mold and can measure the width, or knows it otherwise, I'd be very appreciative if you would please pass the info on.

Thanks,

Cliff

Email Marty Daily at Centre DeVerre (click his sponsor link above). I believe he has stock on all of the BE molds and he might measure one for you if you ask nice. :wink:
