HAD logo, lost wax.

I did this in my industrial crafts class, I still need to cut off the sprues and polish it up, but it's basically done. It's about 30mm x 28mm x 4mm(at the center, 3mm at the wrenches).

Of what did you make the original die used to cast the wax? _________________ [img:468:100]http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/4585/shinerbockbf4.gif[/img] (1.21 gigawatts) / (88 miles per hour) = 30757874 newtons

I think it took a little over a week (about 40-45 minutes per day) to carve the wax and add the sprues. BillytheImpaler wrote: Nice work. Of what did you make the original die used to cast the wax? I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but after forming the wax I attatched it to a rubber base which want on the flask, I then poured in the plaster, after that died the rubber base was removed and the wax was baked out. The molten metal was then injected my means of centrifuge. larryzotter wrote: Nice. Is it brittle? No, it' seems pretty strong, the metal is from old keys that the school had when the locked were changed, and I think copper from a sheet. Today I filed, sanded, and polished the face of it, which really lightened it up. _________________ First there was the milky way, then there was the crab nebula, then there was....JUDAS PRIEST!

Right now I have it as a zipper put, I used the wire from a twist-tie to attach it.

I would have made them spoke wrenches, which is only a little bit smaller than what it is now. I would worry about the strength of it though if I had kept the design the same otherwise. _________________ First there was the milky way, then there was the crab nebula, then there was....JUDAS PRIEST!
