Ok, so the bandsaw is out of commission, so has anyone built a successful side mold with dowel rods?
The hot-mold will need to be sawed out somehow but I can do that with a rasp and some saw action, the inside mold is what Im needing. Any good designs with limited tool use?

I have not done it but many have with success. Try searching the libraries here for adjustable molds. You'll likely find a lot of inspiration.

I've made an "adjustable work board" by screwing "L" shaped wooden blocks to a small sheet of plywood. You could use square blocks but the "L" shape allows you to clamp the sides to the blocks a little easier. Draw the body outline on the plywood and screw the blocks with the long side of the "L" just touching it. An added refinement is to clip the corner of the "L" to allow the top to extend past the sides a little bit during construction.
