Swamimalai casting workshop film

So... after that post saying I was pretty much ready to admit a permanent break on this project, it seems things are moving again.

This short film shows a bronze casting workshop in Indian that is using the lost wax technique.

It has some fairly amazing modern images of methods that seem unchanged through time. I especially like the giant foundry tongs that are used by 2 men to pick up the vessel of molten metal. I'm now super excited to make some models. We have a big event coming up in a week and a half: Lochac Midwinter Coronation. After that there should be time to spend on this. Back on board!

Hiatus

Hello there. I have not posted for quite some time, as other projects have been pushed up the list and the event that this project was to be presented at has not been planned to run. I have really enjoyed this topic and will get back to some study at some point but it is not likely to be soon.

Check back in a towards the end of 2013.

See you then :)
