ShortFuse Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 diggn that stuff. So Ive been melting a lot. processing down aluminum into ingots for easier use. Did the green sand mould for a test experience. And now I wanted to try the "Lost Foam" technique.....basically a foam form is made and the molten metal destroys it and takes it place once poured. polystyrene is needed ak Styrofoam made a simple lil vessel. got the channels glued to it etc submerged in sand after the pour yanked it out and dunked it in some water to cool off. Not bad for my first attempt on something simple. Kinda gives me an idea of my potential at the moment. Going to have to practice how to do the channels for the flow and all. Also did a lil test to see if I could lock in a stone etc. nothing special. just wanted to see the damage the metal might do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0W0N Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Anger, those portraits are fresh as fuck. SF, I'm excited to see your DIY casting. I need a kiln for my new shop. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go in the vein of yours. Thanks for all of your step-by-step. I've done a lot of lost wax casting. I've never tried the foam. Keep us updated. :) Here are two lockets I finished today for a commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks. Im familiar with lost wax process, basically same idea, but I know you can get so much better detail with wax. Although I dont think Im going to gravitate towards jewelry any time soon. Im going to experiment on what details I can and cant get with the foam. Really from the looks of it and what Ive seen others do the limitations are in the foam. Going to pick up some extra tools today to help with the foam shaping. Ill definitely keep everything posted. The process documentation and everything has really helped me be more productive and Im very very very happy for that. Soon hopefully Ill incorporate some ceramic and wood aspects to tie the metal together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of The Devil Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 posted this over in the canvas thread, but i figured i'd share here too. i've gotten in 2 cutting up blank skateboards now that you can get them for 15 bucks or less off ebay. skating the different shapes has been fun and interesting.

publicenemyno.3 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 that locket is ill. started carving recently. it takes a lot more patience than i have but i guess that's a good virtue to learn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 must spread no.3, what kind of chisels are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicenemyno.3 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's chip carving rather than chiseling. It's very sharp, small bladed knife that's used to make shallow cuts and gouges into the wood. I started doing it about a month ago but really haven't had time to get into it as much as I'd like.

ShortFuse Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 YES! not knocking drawing or painting but its nice to see more and more stuff branching out from the usual. that carving is looking good. cant spread rep....ARGH! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 So i caught this scientists in FL doing ant hill casting and I thought how cool would that look upside down mounted as a type of abstract decor. So I tried it today. I think its freaking cool. Although i know some people would get all animal cruelty on me. You can actually see each ant because they left behind a black mark of themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicenemyno.3 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 trout is cool! PEN3 when is your kid due? He's due in May, so it's crunch time to get anything I want to do artistically out of the way. Plus with wedding season starting, I have less and less time to make the art I like to make. I also have a few large commissions coming up and they're not exactly what I'd call fun. I recently started offering hand painted cakes for my dessert catering business though so it's an ill way to be able to kinda do what I like to do and get hella paid for it. Ferrari cake for a 16th birthday. Practice. Guitar pedal cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ^^ congrats man! I have one coming as well May the 6th- it's a bit gnarly thinking about all the time I'm not gonna have. looking at all the paint stacked that I have zero chance of using up! and franticly trying to put out my next issue of the fanzine as well as laying out a book project with a mate the cakes are really cool - you have a great hustle there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana fishd Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Congrats Public Enemy and Schnitzel! Here is some bad photographs of these wood figures I was making a while back.
