Okay, let's wet. Not wet enough yet, but it's starting to sprinkle. The supposed to be in the 20s tonight, it's 52 degrees right now. Because I'm heading to the foundry to check on the wax of Captain Lovewell that I took a clay and all about a month ago to get a mold made of and they got the first wax out of that mold. And it's going to be the only wax that's going to be one of a kind piece. Anyway, I told him I'd like to come in and check the wax, make sure everything's clean and kosher. And then the next stage will be putting screws on it. And those are the tubes that run from different points on the wax to a pour cup and then they'll pour it in bronze. So that's what I'm doing today, just running the bozeman and doing some checkup. And I'll show me working on it, there it's the foundry when I get there. All right, I've got the wax of Captain Lovewell. If I'm getting the camera, this is the upper body from about the ankles up. And piece and just clean up the little areas that I see that need to be cleaned up. And add two areas that I think I need to be added to. And but it looks really clean. Elaine over here had to do a lot of filling in for me, so that's screwed up. Thank you Elaine. Just got one little problem here with the trigger guard and I'm going to redo that because it looks a little like a snake guy instead of a trigger guard. It's better to catch it here than wait for it to be in bronze. Sometimes when you're getting stuff cast at a foundry, you're going to have to do a little work on them at the foundry. It's sometimes good to bring tools that you think you may need. What I do is I put some glue wax. It's uh, I'll show you what it looks like. That's that's blue wax right there. I think I got that in your little. That looks good. Don't let the cord pull your statue around. All right. Got the trigger guard. I go. One finger that needs to be lengthened. This finger here and it's not a big deal but it's got a sharp nub of a finger. And it probably was overlooked by me and not necessarily foundry's fault. Unless it was Elaine's fault. I thought it looks a little short but I wanted you to take it. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. Some artists like that. I mean I trust your argument. Could have been trapped in the mold there but again, I figured since you were coming out. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Elaine's a hell of a sculptorist as well. Should check out my earrings. It's put together back there. It's ready to be seen. I will. I think that's good. I wanted to basically check this because I couldn't see underneath here. Now this looks like an extra sleeve but that's just extra wax right there from the molds. Looks good. Oh, did you see the stock? I think you just dropped it. Yeah, I think you did. Yeah, I did. Yeah. Now this is just a little bit of as lapel of his coat right here. Cash separate. Real deep undercuts are hard to get and that's why they did that. And then the barrel of the rifle. It looks straight. Oh, you got one done? Oh. That's Elaine's Pisces. Pisces and she has a tail. She's doing the... Astrology figures. She's getting popcorn off the thing but that's her tail. So the tail? That is really cool. I like the way her legs are coming out of the... Yeah, so it's peeling off of her. Yeah. And then this arm she has a fish levitating and this one she's holding her planet. Like a ball. Okay, okay. So it's not the claw over here. Show them the claw. Yeah, no. We were thinking we knew we could use this or this. No, no, well, as her arm, you know. Oh, yes, we're like this. Yeah, that's not... That's somebody else's work. Here I have her arm. Great. Oh, yeah, she's got the fish. The fish and then the fish's tail. The other pieces are over there and you can see the ball with the arm. Oh, yeah, there's the, I mean zoom in. And there's the arm with the ball. And Elaine's working on her own time right now. Oh, and they can see the clay. It looks right over there. Oh, yeah. And that's her clay. How long ago did you get to make the mold of that? The mold was made. It was just finished. What, yesterday? The mold was finished yesterday. Wow. The wax was poured yesterday. And now you were anxious to get on this thing, weren't you? Oh, it's been up there for three months. So a mold can take two weeks, but in this case, we had a lot of things back. They got this one out pretty quick, too. Oh, they really, like a week. They come back thing out. So we're going to go see her aries. Yeah. A little loud. Yeah. This is just still in raw bronze, uncolored, but I like that. That looks really good. Look at that. I'm not sure if I can print out the face out loud, no? But yeah, it's just ready to be sand-lasting and then not something new. Now you're using a... Two-four marmiter's art too. Yeah. But I cut down the shoulders a little. Yeah. And I didn't with this one, but I'm starting to cut down their forearms, like five... Because it's made for a male, and if you don't cut down the width, it looks like a very broad, shoulder's woman. I'll please the hands, but I've brought an ear in here for the women. Yeah. Yup. So yeah? That looks great. Thank you. Make them serve it out. All right, there's the wax. It's finished. There are the parts that were cast separate. And they're going to be ready to sprue this up, I guess, with the neck there too, right? Yes. And they've already done the base. I'm going to go over here and chill you. This is the base for the level of peace, and you can see the sprue. Those are the... That's the red. And then the cup that they pour the bronze into. This is all made of... They make a shell of this out of ceramic material. And then they melt the wax out of that ceramic material. And then they pour the bronze in. So... And it's all done hollow, as you can see there. So that's going to be it from the foundry. I'm going to be heading home. Now I just got back in the valley and... From Boseman. Beautiful, beautiful, after the rain type weather. I'm going to be taking about three weeks off. From doing sculpting and stuff like that. I've got to... I've got to start getting my studio, moved into my house for the winter. And I think we're going to have an early winter. And that's why I'm going to do it now instead of waiting until November or so. So I'm going to do some work around the house, work around the yard. Just do things I have to do to get ready for winter. Don't forget about the DVD that I just came out with. And the offers that I'm making for the first 20 buyers of that DVD. I've got four already sold. And so as soon as this little message that you see now appearing on my video disappears. That will indicate that all 20 have been sold. So you might want to get in on that. And have a great September.
