    PEWTER injection mold! Does it WORK? Is it dangerous?

    May 31, 2022 /

    This video is about how I melt a pewter ingot to pour into a silicone mold, to make an injection mold. It is something I’ve been asked about more than a few times, and since my “regular” episode is held up, I decided to finally tackle this topic. As stated in the video, a pewter injection mold IS possible, but care must be taken during casting to ensure the pewter makes it into all the corners and details. Additionally, the mold’s temperature should be monitored if it will be used for longer periods of time.

    How to make MINIATURE roofing metal! | REAL QUICK

    May 11, 2022 /

    Here’s a quick and easy way to make miniature roofing metal. NOTE: This is what I call the “BARE MINIMUM”, because I literally just used hardened wire and a block of wood. But ideally some form of hardened metal edge embedded into a block of wood, with a matching grooved block of wood to receive it, would be ideal. FURTHERMORE, you can even add multiple Vs or even get crazy and build a CORRUGATED METAL jig! 😀 TOOLS & MATERIALS USED: * HARDENED WIRE: https://amzn.to/3kZGrIf METAL AVIATION SNIPS: https://amzn.to/3FAG2Fv MINI MATERIALS (CINDER BLOCKS): https://amzn.to/39cQfvQ AFFILIATE LINK NOTICE “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

    How to sync ANIMATION to MUSIC! | Stop-motion using dopesheets aka exposure sheets.

    April 5, 2022 /

    These are the techniques* I use to animate in sync with music or character dialog. I do stop-motion animation this way, but you can do traditional 2D cel animation, 3D character animation or any animation medium in which timing is required. LINKS: Kinetic Armatures (Winders and more): https://kineticarmatures.com/rigs-and… Knights of the Slice: https://www.knightsoftheslice.com/col… Onell Design: http://onelldesign.com/ * These techniques are not industry-standard necessarily – every studio will do their own thing – so it’s best to abide by their rules if you’re not an independent animator.
