    What tools would I need to create this ridge ?

    May be worth asking locally if someone with a router or router table would do the job for you, most woody`s are a helpful bunch, then you could supply a few beer tokens and save buying a one off use tool.

    Making a burial urn/box

    When I collected my late Father following cremation I was very surprised how big and heavy the box (cardboard) was. As said above do check the size required as some people do not like the thought of the dear departed being divided up.

    Which tool next - band or table saw (again)?

    I had just a bandsaw for 20 years and until last year when I treated myself to a table saw, I did everything on the bandsaw and the P/T. Just ensure it is set up accurately and they are a wonderful bit of kit

    Spray the frame and sides with silicone, the resin is a pig to remove otherwise. Also when you pour as it is too big for a pressure pot have a small flame gun or heat gun handy to remove the bubbles. Watch the brown parcel tape, I used it to hold a mould together and the resin touching it did...
