Is this a feasible jig design???
I have been working on making my crochet/weave a little easier and have come up with a basic jig base design for the body shape. My only problems I I don't even know if it is feasible. It wold be a 2 part pour for the body and head which makes it a little more complicated but the slots make it hard.

I know some make molds but would like anyone with a thought on how feasible this idea is to give their input on the design.
The basic idea is to make the body using either metal or hard rubber like in an injection mold and have a lead/metal head on it. The material I use is round and would fit in the grooves in the body. The space is important for tying off the material and for adding a collar of some sort. This is what makes it so "difficult"; in concept anyway. It wouldn't matter if the body was metal or not but it has to be tough to hold it's shape under the weave/crochet. I actually think that both would be useful for different species and designs. A rubber body though would lend itself to a very see through body like the material I use for making a lot of my jigs.
Give me your thoughts please, I need to know if it is:
1 feasible to make
2 would make a descent jig at all
3 if a 2 part pour is even possible with metal and rubber.
