This paper includes step-by-step information with photos covering layout, carving rings, making settings for cabochons and facetted stones, hollow forms and mirror images, textures and flame techniques, faux granulation, pierced work, hollowing, finishing, repairing, castability and more. Learn how to rapidly and accurately remove excess material using the flex shaft and flex shaft drill press for affordable lathe and milling processes. Working large scale––and having a 3D scan done of the wax to output in a variety of ways and sizes—will also be covered.
