After last week’s discussion, the design of the panel’s back is now more suited for the Ram Press. By removing most of the surfaces from the backside of the panel there will be less friction force when then mold is removed from the clay. Now there is a gradually curved face that follows the path of the stepping stipes on the frontside of the panel. In section you can see how this curve on the back follows the steps on the front, allowing the ram press mold to slip off more easily.
