great talent. I would have been more helpful without the music but I got the gist of it. I would have liked to have seen the products used and the amounts would have been helpful as well.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and post it. Very informative, beautiful craftsmanship. I learned several things about the process I hadn't known before. Thank you !
COuld you give us some tips on the plaster ? ...... how much time did it took to harden ? ..I feel like it hardens so fast and when I try to create the plaster form it rips out and have little holes all around the liniar border made from 100%plaster with water .... Thanks in advance
Thank you very much for this video. It's very helpful. One suggestion for future videos is to lower the music volume in your mix. It's difficult to hear you. Other than that, fantastic video!
I have been working with this for 20 years. In Russia, they do it differently: they make the part on the table, then mount it to the surface. For manufacturing use high-strength plaster. What is shown in the video, called "broach in place," this method is not qualitatively done. There are also pluses- it is not necessary to mount. In any case, it's nice to see the work of a professional!
the advantage of this technique is also a stronger adhesion to the building surface. I much prefer molding on a table, but sometimes it makes more sense to work directly on the wall or ceiling. for the type of mold he's using, I would prefer the table for sure though.
@@timothyhofmeister1832 After manufacturing on the table, the product is glued with special glue, the adhesion is very good. If it becomes necessary to remove the product, it will be very difficult to do)) In my practice, the need for manufacturing on walls and ceilings was very rare. Usually these are curved walls with a non-constant radius. Although even in this case, you can make a wall template and do everything on the table. I made many different products: columns (with canillures, with entasis), cornices, moldings (including radius and oval), etc. By the way, hello to you, colleague)
@@ЛеонидХаткевич-м1п it's nice to hear from a colleague from elsewhere. Are you from Russia? It's very rare for us to run anything directly on the wall. I personally have never done it except for school where we learn some older techniques that aren't commonly used. I work in Stuttgart, Germany, so there isn't too much plaster molding here. In Berlin they have a lot of it. Very large church ceilings or the inside edge of a large dome of a government building are two examples of where one might work directly on the surface. with a radius of 5 or 10 meters, you can't pull it on the table, so it's done directly on the ceiling. I believe this type of work is often done differently in every country. I'm still a student of plastering with only 4 years work experience, but I've done a lot of extra research at my vocational school. I plan to try making my own youtube videos in the future for plastering. if you ever make a video, I'd love to see how you do things in Russia. Have a nice day.
@@timothyhofmeister1832 Hello again! Yes I am from Russia). To be more precise, I'm from St. Petersburg. There is a lot of plaster molding here, so I have a lot of experience). And you are from Germany. Actually, it’s not far away) I studied German at school, though I don’t remember anything now. Only some words and phrases (Guten Tag! Ich heise Leonid. Ich lebe in Sankt-Petersburg. Ich habe 40 yare alt))). You say you can't make parts with a diameter of 5-10 meters on the table? You can do) And I did such. If you start your own channel on RU-vid, I will definitely subscribe to it, it is interesting to see how colleagues from Germany work. I don't have my own videos, because usually I work alone and there is no one to shoot videos. But if it does, I'll post it.
Excellent, although I don't get why you mix some plaster then make the circle and add water and then more plaster but allow to sink before mixing? Why not just mix it all at once?
Both are valid traditional techniques. If it's just a straightforward escutcheon, it's easier to do it in-situ because it requires fewer tools and can be done in one day, whereas a more complicated design with sculptural detail would need a mold. Furthermore, in-situ plaster work can achieve concave profiles more easily.
Hi John. I didn't quite get what all the materials used were.What was the plaster mix you initially put on the table from which you made a well? Did you use pure water and casting plaster for the well centre. Was any retarder used?
Putty Lime is created when natural rock is broken up and added to water. It is then referred to as Quicklime which burns.( I know first hand I was unfortunate to slip and fall into a lime pit when serving my time as a plasterer back in the sixties.) The Quicklime is left too cool for several weeks until it forms a putty, Which was used for both plastering and bricklaying. hope that answers your question. ps you can use hydrated lime make sure it is the type for plasterwork just soak it in a drum or bucket for a couple of weeks and it will form a putty which you then have to put through a fine sieve.
james f o'hare Intereasting, thank you for the info ...and how aproximative is the raport on hydrated lime and water ? 50-50 ? or ? So that I understand it carefully .... hidrated lime is Calcium oxide (CaO) ????because in my native language it has another name and Im not sure if its the same material. Thanks once again you are awesome !!!
If it was a renovation of a part it would be necessary to do it directly on the ceiling. But you are tired of nothing. This method is not worth doing on the ceiling. Why not do it on the floor or on a table? You have the diameter and so simple...
I got taught this when I started out and we would have made this on the bench ,100 times easier!! And then marked it out and fixed to ceiling, don’t see why you would do it upside down , pointless
...and who thought it was a good idea to put that horrible music over this video? I couldn't understand a word that was said, so I learned absolutely nothing.
