Found Dreaming

Today I fixed my furnace. It´s now mounted on a cool sled. How could I live so long without welding???
Casting today was successful - will continue tomorrow, if the weather is the team. More pictures soon.

That is a really cool project, didnt mantrid do some of the casting for you or did he just work on the waxes? Please post up some of the pictures you already have.

It was a good decision to contact Matrid for producing the horse (the model was done by me). His skills on mold making and casting are really incredible. I learnt a lot since then... Hope it get´s a sellable product... Casting skills developed real fine now - but it took some time.

Thanks Harry! This is a cool project too, you are in "touch with the crowd" !

Talking about mantrid, has anyone let him know where we all are

Yes, I can tell him. Would be nice to have him here!
I nearly through with that thing, hope the patina works... It´s a lot easier to create an own art piece than trying to reproduce such an object.

still, it looks dam nice you have done a great job

Hummmm.... This thread alludes to the presence of pictures, but I don't see any...

I must have my settings buggered up somehow...

The metal work is finished now. I recast the discs now completely as lost wax and they came out real nice. So getting the Copper ring in was very easy now and made the power glue obsolete.

First patination of the horse (looks a bit weird at the moment)

That's beautiful work, FL..!!

That has come out real nice
