Today, I have been making wax models and mould making. From these models, I can then make refractory moulds, before steaming the wax out and putting them into the kiln to cast glass into them.
I have scaled my original model down as they are only tests and having spent £350 on glass yesterday, smaller is definitely cheaper at this stage.
I lathed the original plaster model yesterday and for the first time I lathed to a profile and also lathed the feed as part of the model. This gives a much more precise, tidier mould and I am really pleased with the results.
