Hello! Great video, thank you!
Which electric graver do you use? I have seen that one multiple times and it seems like a good one.
Thank you!

Great demo!

[@amirg5912]

can a pattern such as this one be cast in sand or clay?

[@AM-kh9ip]

Hello, do you have any recommendations for affordable casters (someone to cast my wax piece for me and won't over charge me for the materials)?

[@huskyfluffy]

Can't you also cut the wax with a saw as would you with metal?

[@sakfful]

Yes you can, but you will need blades with bigger teeth. Some stores sells blades for wax.

[@keithb3178]

hopefully this isn't to dumb of a question what's the point of making a wax ring.. why not use that silver clay and make it out of that

[@surtursschmiede426]

silver clay is expensive and it shrinks when burned.
Apart from that nowadays casters can simply copy the wax ring so you can make an infinite number after making one model. :)

The silver clay is a less dense and weaker material than sterling silver.
