Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for the comment! If you ever have questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks Hook

Been metal working for twenty years, and never had an issue. Learn your tools and the way they dispense their grinding shards and do not aim them at your face. Pretty simple. Also, when I attempted to wear safety glasses in the past, the lenses warp the field of view. I would rather be able to see perfectly what I am doing to ensure I do not get shards in my face. But thanks for caring. Lol

Thanks! 👍

I have been building bronzes for about twenty years, tried eye pro but do not like it. It distorts the field of view. Only wear that when I am grinding in tight areas or in like baptismal fonts.

We are the foundry that casts this piece by the artist Linda Sioux Henley. If interested in one of her sculptures, please reach out to her by her website. Here is the link lindasiouxhenley.com/index4.html Hope that helps!

Thank you!

Too young to be a master!

Sounds good! You still making that brisket?

I pay like ten bucks a month for epidemic sound, lots of music to choose from

lol thanks Hook

just working

Hi, so as far as the exact content I could not tell you. Larry purchases reclaimed wax from an industrial foundry north of us. It is autoclaved out and remains pretty clean, so Larry mainly prefers to use it. I prefer the victory brown medium wax. The green wax is strong and withstands the heat better, but in cold temperatures becomes a lot more brittle.

Thanks!

@@garyodenbuaugh I will see if I can get more specific data on the wax tomorrow for ya

@user-ej3fp7wb7p so a little further info on the green wax. This green wax was first used in injection molding. The wax starts off in pellet form. Once burned out, it is captured in large rectangular slabs. The green wax is a high strength wax, holds up rigidity in higher temperatures, however, brittle in the cold.

by burned out I mean autoclaved

Thank you! Buddy Tatum did a good job on both the sculpture and the patina. We use titanium to achieve the white on the bronze

Thank you so much! @@Adamatthefoundry

@@nanopiaizquierdo If you check back next week, I will get Larry Stevens to explain on camera how the patina on the cranes was executed/chemicals/etc. I planned to do that today but we ran out of time.

of course

That was the intention, however, Larry and Matt decided that it was "SMART" to move it after hours of the foundry WITHOUT cameras. It is difficult getting all the aspects of this job when not everyone plays ball.

And like right now, they are trying to setup loading out the Monument, again, after hours.

A lot of the reason for the channel is cause of that kind of comment. Thanks!

Thanks! just about finally done with the Monument!

Thanks!

Hey Mr. Childress, this is what I was planning for tonight's video title...let me know if cool. Sep. 27, 2023 - Finishing up Vaqueros Del Mar "A Helping Hand" Trophy by JP Childress, and more!

The video thumbnail is the actual bronze showing George Strait and Tom Cusick and the Title of the Award

Adam, everything looks fine…thanks! Larry asked that I come back over first thing tomorrow (Thursday) to do a final check before applying the patina. I plan to be there before 8 a.m.; what time do you guys start up! Pat Childress
