Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I demonstrate a pretty ancient jewellery technique used to cast metal.
I heard about this technique from the jeweller Mr. Stelios Fotakopoylos. You can check his channel here.
I begun by cutting the bone in half.
Then I used a sanding block to flatten one side of each piece.
I used two screws as registration marks.
Next I turned a wooden fishing weight model on my lathe.
The bone is pretty soft. You can gently press anything into it to make your mold.
I pressed my model and my registration screws in one side and then pressed the other bone on top.
I then used a knife to carve the funnel and a few air release tubes.
I then removed the model and clamped the two sides of the mold.
I melted some lead balls and casted it into the mold.
It worked really nicely. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
