In this short Mormon Stories Episode I sat down with Trent Told, who created a prototype of Joseph Smith\\u2019s Book of Mormon Plates. Based on Dan Vogel\\u2019s theories surrounding the \\u201cTin Plates\\u201d and the Book of Mormon, Trent created a proof of concept model of the Book of Mormon made out of tin, in order to help demonstrate the physical size and weight of the plates. This model is also intended to help illustrate complexity and improbability that Joesph Smith could have possessed and handled actual Gold Plates (let alone run with them).
