Today, we had a great time at the Forest School doing pewter castings. We had a cuttlefish each in which we learned how to create our own mold designs. Also seen in this video is the Forest School Pole Lathe that we designed and made together. This is the second test of the lathe. There are still one or two things to be upgraded and designed for this lathe so that it can be used for bowl and spindle turning.

How did you make the impression in the plaster mold?

@SteveJordan 5 ай бұрын

We just cut the impression on one side of the cuttlefish after flattening the two halves by rubbing them together. We cut the impression using jewellers type screwdrivers 🪛

Hi Steve, can you please tell me how to recognize the pewter from lead.

@SteveJordan 5 ай бұрын

We used old pewter tankards or mugs and melted them down first. These do have a lead content, but I think you can buy a lead-free pewter online.

Interesting video Steve. What metal was used for the casting? Lead or aluminium? Cheers Nobby

I would be using some protective equipment - molten metal on your skin is not nice.

Looks like a good time to me. Unfortunately in the US, we either don't have such things...or the rare instances of that kind of thing are dominated by guys who insist on spouting their political/world views...that is, they're no fun being around.
