| three piece form for camera. the idea is that i will use the centre with one of the end pieces when casting. this way there will be some overlap between the two halves. then i can grind the two halves till they match. |
 |
| wooden blank in jig. this way i can cut the elliptical curve at an angle. |
 |
| cutting the curve on the bandsaw. |
 |
| finishing up the the curve on the disc sander. |
 |
| i really like the shapes created by the intersection of the curve and the flat planes in the wood. |
 |
| got a surprise exhibition in a couple of days. just going to cast it quickly and make an appearance model. i have hollowed out the centre to make sure i have enough pewter. |
 |
| change of plan. wont have time to make multiple part moulds. the camera shape wont come out of a one piece mould. i made another in foam. hopefully i can pick it out if a one piece plaster cast which i can then use as a sacrificial mould for the pewter. |
 |
| ready for casting. |
 |
| foam started to float so i had to hold it down with a stick. |
 |
| started picking out the foam. ive got the weekend to get the foam out and dry the plaster so i can cast it on monday. going to be tight. |
