Hi, Jon Thank you so much for sharing your hard-won expertise. Could you perhaps do more on multiple part moulds? I really appreciate all the effort you've taken in producing these videos. Kind regards.
I have a sculpture with wings and hands touching the knees. I will be cutting it apart for molding. Perhaps I will make a video of this process. And thank you for saying as much about the work put into producing these videos. It's time I've taken from producing art and a lot at that. I edit hours and hours of footage which takes a couple of days to make a synoptic video. You're kind to mention this. And thank you for your patience between videos.
@@JonBurnsFineArt Gosh, Jon! I so understand! I, on the other hand, spend untold hours on digital media, sometimes wondering if its all worth it. Also, Ive felt in the last while that local foundries here have been 'pricing me out the market' for my bronze artwork, as it were. That said, I'm being forced to take on more of the workload myself so as to keep costs down. The upside is finding unselfish, benevolent folks like you who so graciously share your hard-earned knowledge & insight. I'd be delighted if you could make that new video. But, the choice to create said video remains entirely with you. May you, Jon, be richly blessed for the sacrifices you've made to get this information to us. Blessings 🙌 to all reading this!
@@andycap1223 I am looking forward to sharing my experience with making waxes for bronze also. I spent five years working at a bronze foundry making waxes and molds. But you don't have to wait to ask concerning that. JonBurnsFineArt at gmail.com
@@JonBurnsFineArt Good morning, Jon from a grey/gray(?) Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦. Reading of your 5 years of foundry experience has got me really interested in learning from folks like you. It seems I have an (apparently non-contagious) allergy to sub-standard & shoddy work. While other folks seem to say, "Oh, just be a good chap & accept the work we've done for you. Okay!" I feel more than a twinge of disagreement with their "Standard Operating Procedures". I think you U.S. folks would say, "No way, José!"? I'm intent on producing increasingly better work. And when I watch your videos I finally feel that I can look to achieving that vision. That said, I'll certainly be keeping a look out for your high-quality instructional media! Kind regards.
Hi there, Jon. Thank you for the great explanation (the series of 3 videos) regarding this beautiful artwork, and your generous advices. Have you published the part where you show how to finish the mold of the arms? Thank you so much. On the other hand, would you be interested in commenting with you and your followers the equipment I use to protect myself from the diverse substances we use in these kind of work? I’d would be happy to do so. Thank you again for sharing with all of us your talent, work and expertise.
Thank you for your kind words Veronica. My hope is that understanding the molding process will be sufficient for the remaining parts. These videos are considerable in length and people skip through the majority of the content anyway. You may comment on your insights and equipment anytime. That's good for those who read them. I appreciate the community participation here since RUclips doesn't compensate us fairly for our contributions on their platform.
@@JonBurnsFineArt Thank you very much, Jon, for your explanation! On the other hand, it’s great to take the proper precautions to protect ourselves while working with these carcinogens substances. It’s important to use the right equipment and follow the proper safety guidelines to minimize the risk of exposure to these harmful substances. I use the 3M Half Face-piece Respirator and two types of filter-cartridges designed to protect myself from inhaling these harmful substances: -For resin work: 3M Filter-cartridges (2) for organic vapors: Model 6001. -For resin and wood sanding work: 3M Filter-cartridges (2) for protecting solid particles model 2097. -Besides, I always use a face protector mask, glasses, and Nitrile gloves in the management of the substances. And if I use machines to cut resin, wood, etc. I use steel gloves (you never know...). I always work in an open space while I use this equipment. It’s better that way. :))
@@JonBurnsFineArt It's a pleasure, Jon, and just a small detail of gratitude for all the astonishing work you share with us, your followers and fans. :))
Hi Jon! First of all thank you for all of your videos, they have been so helpful to me as a beginner in all of this... I'm not too sure why you don't have over 100k subscribers right now but I hope that will happen for you... I was wondering is it necessary to put registration keys in the mother mold? I noticed that you did not do that for this mold which looks so much simpler and better in my opinion than others that I've seen.
Thanks Melissa. I'm glad you find my videos helpful. Registration keys, especially keys that are a reverse wedge type, are helpful if you have large expansive areas of silicone: areas that are prone to collapsing while handling. A lot of sculptors go overkill with molds. You can get away with a lot more than you think. Expect "failures" as your teachers. You'll do just fine.
