....so yea, these was the workshop I've attended....I'm taking manufacturing for this autumn term...Here, our tutor taught us about Pewter casting because when I was in year 1..some of us did not got a chance to know about it......the white that looks like a surfboard is called a cuttlefish...and it is 100% made from cuttlefish's skeletons...it smelled very fishy...and its for us to sculpt our stuffs onto it as it is very soft and powdery...plus!!its eco-friendly=D
....first, we have to sand the one side of it over sand-paper to get a flat surface for us to put it and tied with a wooden board once its finished molding onto it...=)
....after melting down the pewter...we then poured em' onto these readily prepared thing we put onto the sand pit...and let it cooled..
....the wires I used to wrap the cuttlefish with the wooden board together...
...the wooden boards that were being used and can re-use again...=)
...the place we melt down the solid pewter..and it is really HOT....
...and yes, this are the pewter...its solid and pretty heavy for some of it...in order to make it into liquid state...it have to be put onto a temperature of between 295-315 degrees!!now that's what I call it HOT baby~
....the saw I used to cut half of the cuttlefish to get the size I want...=)
...some of the tools to use to sculpt onto the cuttlefish...o yeah, the cuttlefish is soft...durable...eco-friendly and can be re-use again...and its heat-proof...;)
...other types of shapes that can be use to sculpt stuffs down onto the cuttlefish...=)
...once it cooled...I then removed carefully the cuttlefish and the wooden board...
...tadaaaa~its done!!!=D
...hehehe...yes, I was sooo into making it..and made another piece...yeap...i think some of you viewers might have guessed it...
....peanut!!!
.....finally, I buffed it to get that shiny look of the stuffs I've made...=)
...after doing our stuffs...we then showed and explained a bit of it within our group about any problem or anything that interests us throughout our processes in doing it....
