Adventures in Pewtering, Part 4

[aliskye]

I finally got the thing to pour correctly! At least once. :) I let the mold warm up before I started. There is a little more flashing around the design then I would like, but at least it's working. I need to do a little work on the back plate and add a "makers mark" (shout-out to Tonwen *grin*)

My eye feels 100% better today.

I will work on it a bit more, then I'm going to LACMA to see the Klimt exhibit.

Things I Have Learned:

Dermal tools take off more material then you think.

Gloves are good.

Eye drops are bad.

Always wear eye protection. (Repeat 96 more times)

Pewter is a very interesting medium. :)

Are you using the flex shaft with your dremel? If not, start, you get much better control.
