Abstract
A method for forming a tool 10 and a tool 10 which is comprised of several selectively coupled sectional members, such as members 12, 16, which are placed upon a heat resistant surface 20. A sealing material 24, such as copper in a solid molecular state, is placed around the periphery of the tool 10. The copper in a solid molecular state 24, the heat resistant surface 20, and the tool 10 are placed within a heat source which transforms the copper in a solid molecular state 24 into liquid which flows within the gaps, such as gap 41 and within knife edges 26, 28 which exists within the tool 10. After the copper 24 cools, the cooper 24 reinforces and strengthens the tool 10.
