Thank you so much 🙏 the carving tools are sharp enough to remove the wax without them being heated, but I do use an electronic carver to remove and add wax quickly when needed.
@@GraceNoteForge thank you! Would you have a recommendation for wax that I can use like clay to mold with my hands? That's soft but also will hold up detail, and sturdy for casting? Thank you 🙏
@@SugarMapleFarmhouse Yep! Instead of making a mold for this wax carving, I just attached it directly to a sprue and then invested it in a casting flask.
So talented! If you don’t mind me asking, are you self taught or did you study to be a jeweler? Really inspired to become better with my lost wax casting
Thank you so much! 🙏 I'm self taught when it comes to jewelry and metal smithing but I did go to school for advanced manufacturing where I studied things like material science and practical metallurgy. And thankfully, some of that translated really well into what I work on now! 😁
@@GraceNoteForge Wow, that’s quite an accomplishment! And very encouraging to those of us trying to learn through videos like these! Thank you for being so generous in sharing your knowledge
