Download or read book Basic Wax Modeling written by Hiroshi Tsuyuki and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Hiroshi Tsuyuki, the Japanese authority on Jewelry Wax Modeling, uses an innovative approach to teaching the technique of wax modeling. Often a process is easier shown than described in so many words. This book was conceived through the author's teaching experience -- more photos and sketches and less text resulting in less over-the-shoulder supervision. By introducing new techniques in each project, his students were able to progress more rapidly towards independence in design concepts. While preparing a model for casting and the actual casting process are adequately explained in most casting books, very little space is devoted to the design and creation of wax models. Mr. Tsuyuki presents 11 basic projects in this book, each one designed to teach the use of certain tools and types of waxes in a progressive manner as one's skills improve. Each step of every project is accompanied by a photo and text and in some cases supplementary sketches and notes are provided to clarify those particular processes. Paying careful attention to the photos, noting the demonstrator's hand position and the type of tool being used, eliminates any confusion which may result from the text. After each basic model is completed the author offers a number of sketches suggesting design possibilities using the techniques learned in the construction of the basic model. Mr. Tsyuki states that by conscientiously completing each project, the student should be well on the way to becoming a designer/modeler. This book is 112 pages and has 283 photos and illustrations.

Book excerpt: Featuring exquisite photos of more than 800 contemporary and historic works, this first-of-its-kind book reveals how the process of casting--pouring material into a mold--has transformed our world through its history and omnipresence. In these image-rich pages, craft, fine art, design, and everyday objects offer us perspectives on casting's unique possibilities, its place in history, and its role in contemporary object creation. Comprehensive and insightful, the book includes writings on casting as it relates to Art History (by Suzanne Ramljak), Large-Scale Metal (by Joseph Becherer), Ceramics (by Ezra Shales), Glass (by Susie J. Silbert), Jewelry (by Jen Townsend), and Alternative Materials (by Elaine A. King). A multi-disciplinary approach--including everything from traditional lost wax casting in non-ferrous metals to casting rubber, glass, porcelain, plaster, and some very unexpected materials--makes this an essential resource for artists, craftspeople, historians, designers, and everyone interested in the objects that populate our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the craftsman and the artist to an exciting new method for producing their work. Traditionally, the jeweler has been bound to making original models for lost-wax casting in metal, while the artist who works in wax has been limited to melting the material over an armature. Modeling directly in wax frees both artist and craftsman from these cumbersome and restrictive methods. A highly spontaneous approach, wax modeling combines speed with ease of execution to produce pieces whose grace and beauty can be attained in no other way.

Book excerpt: It has always been my ambition to produce a book and workshop manual on Lost Wax Casting incorporating all the knowledge I have gained in operating the process in various parts of the world for nearly 60 years. Now that I have sold my last business and retired, I have the opportunity to fulfill my ambition and to get all my experience down on paper, and give new and experienced casters alike a useful and informative guide to the process I have had the privilege to develop and work with throughout my life. I have now spent nearly a lifetime Designing and Manufacturing Jewellery using the Lost Wax Casting process, also producing Precision Investment Lost Wax Castings for Industry and researching and writing this book about this wonderful process which has occupied nearly my whole life and in spite of my many highs and lows during that time, I still feel that I would not have missed a minute of it. I have achieved something special in my life and it brings me great pleasure now when I am able to help someone with their casting problems and I look forward to hearing from you. Firstly I would like to introduce myself, I have been producing lost wax castings for over 50 years, man and boy, in the last 10 years, I decided I did not want all my knowledge to be lost when I die, so I decided to write this book and to put in all my life s experiences good and bad, in the early days the were Dental Mechanics using Lost wax casting to produce the metal parts of teeth, plates etc. and there were a few companies supplying Chemicals (Investment), Machinery, Hand Tools, Drills, Burrs, Etc. Etc, Etc. the one I worked the mostly with was a firm called Nesor Products as their family name was Rosen , In those early days they even agreed to manufacture machines for us, as we where much more involved in quantity rather than the Dentists, as the were mostly involved in 1 offs, as each item fitted mainly one patients, as many times, to make to Plates fit properly, the Dentist got the patient to bit on a special piece of wax, so that they obtained a near perfect fit, Then once we were in production, we used many different types of Chemical Companies, Engineering Companies, and with the Investments Suppliers. THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF LOST WAX CASTING The problem associated with the first forms of casting, was the removal of the original pattern or model, therefore the process of lost wax casting is based on the use of a disposable pattern; which will burn totally away at high temperature, in an oxidizing atmosphere. It is possible therefore to cast from any vegetable matter that, after having been encapsulated in a suitable refractory type material, is capable of being burnt away at high temperature to allow the metal that you which to cast in to be melted and poured in to take its place. In lost wax casting, the chosen vegetable material will be wax, in the beginning Bees wax was used, the wax was modeled by hand but in more modern times many different waxes have been developed, some for carving the original model, which can be cast in metal, cleaned up and used as a production model from which are rubber mould is made if you are producing Jewellery, Ornaments or Statues, but in the case of Industrial Precision Investment casting instead of making a model and then producing a rubber mould from which the wax patterns are made, the mould is produced in metal, which gives much more accurate dimensions for the finished castings. The book is split into five sections, in which I will cover a wide variety of aspects of Lost Wax Casting: 1. History of Lost Wax Casting 2. The Theory of Lost Wax Casting 3. Step by Step Picture Guide 4. Workshop Manual 5. Autobiography All of the sections are designed to give you a through picture of where the Lost Wax Casting process came from, the various ways in which the process has been used, and how it is still used today in a myriad of industries, from Dentistry, through to Jewellery Making, and even in the production

Download or read book Metallography and Microstructure in Ancient and Historic Metals written by David A. Scott and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1992-01-02 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David A. Scott provides a detailed introduction to the structure and morphology of ancient and historic metallic materials. Much of the scientific research on this important topic has been inaccessible, scattered throughout the international literature, or unpublished; this volume, although not exhaustive in its coverage, fills an important need by assembling much of this information in a single source. Jointly published by the GCI and the J. Paul Getty Museum, the book deals with many practical matters relating to the mounting, preparation, etching, polishing, and microscopy of metallic samples and includes an account of the way in which phase diagrams can be used to assist in structural interpretation. The text is supplemented by an extensive number of microstructural studies carried out in the laboratory on ancient and historic metals. The student beginning the study of metallic materials and the conservation scientist who wishes to carry out structural studies of metallic objects of art will find this publication quite useful.

Download or read book Unit Manufacturing Processes written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-01-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturing, reduced to its simplest form, involves the sequencing of product forms through a number of different processes. Each individual step, known as an unit manufacturing process, can be viewed as the fundamental building block of a nation's manufacturing capability. A committee of the National Research Council has prepared a report to help define national priorities for research in unit processes. It contains an organizing framework for unit process families, criteria for determining the criticality of a process or manufacturing technology, examples of research opportunities, and a prioritized list of enabling technologies that can lead to the manufacture of products of superior quality at competitive costs. The study was performed under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Defense Department's Manufacturing Technology Program.

Download or read book Liquid Intelligence The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail written by Dave Arnold and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 893 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 James Beard Award for Best Beverage Book and the 2015 IACP Jane Grigson Award. A revolutionary approach to making better-looking, better-tasting drinks. In Dave Arnold’s world, the shape of an ice cube, the sugars and acids in an apple, and the bubbles in a bottle of champagne are all ingredients to be measured, tested, and tweaked. With Liquid Intelligence, the creative force at work in Booker & Dax, New York City’s high-tech bar, brings readers behind the counter and into the lab. There, Arnold and his collaborators investigate temperature, carbonation, sugar concentration, and acidity in search of ways to enhance classic cocktails and invent new ones that revolutionize your expectations about what a drink can look and taste like. Years of rigorous experimentation and study—botched attempts and inspired solutions—have yielded the recipes and techniques found in these pages. Featuring more than 120 recipes and nearly 450 color photographs, Liquid Intelligence begins with the simple—how ice forms and how to make crystal-clear cubes in your own freezer—and then progresses into advanced techniques like clarifying cloudy lime juice with enzymes, nitro-muddling fresh basil to prevent browning, and infusing vodka with coffee, orange, or peppercorns. Practical tips for preparing drinks by the pitcher, making homemade sodas, and building a specialized bar in your own home are exactly what drink enthusiasts need to know. For devotees seeking the cutting edge, chapters on liquid nitrogen, chitosan/gellan washing, and the applications of a centrifuge expand the boundaries of traditional cocktail craft. Arnold’s book is the beginning of a new method of making drinks, a problem-solving approach grounded in attentive observation and creative techniques. Readers will learn how to extract the sweet flavor of peppers without the spice, why bottling certain drinks beforehand beats shaking them at the bar, and why quinine powder and succinic acid lead to the perfect gin and tonic. Liquid Intelligence is about satisfying your curiosity and refining your technique, from red-hot pokers to the elegance of an old-fashioned. Whether you’re in search of astounding drinks or a one-of-a-kind journey into the next generation of cocktail making, Liquid Intelligence is the ultimate standard—one that no bartender or drink enthusiast should be without.
