Here it is being made. I folded the foil in half a couple of times, making it 4 layers thick and shaped it up around an early Brooks803 blank.

Here it is with the pre-existing blank removed.

Here we have the filled mold in the home-made curing box. That box will cure a blank in about 30 minutes or so, even with it being like 40 degrees outside. Then it takes an hour or two to cool off.

Annnnnnd then the mold is peeled off, leaving the blank to cool off.
