Luniz, Claude, all: Compare Luniz' upright casting to trabecular bone (see http://study.com/academy/lesson/trabeculae-of-bone-definition-function.html). Deep down, Claude's "aesthetic" and "sexy"...

Here’s a few suggestions for additions to the list:

A water jet cutter will leave a clean edge on both cured laminates of both carbon fibre and Kevlar (no "fuzz"!). Many aerospace composites manufacturers have one. Beware any reciprocating power...
