I LOVE Kate. I was honored to take a class from her last year. Thank you for this refresher on her tools and her wax. You're the best, Andrew!
Thank you for your advice! The examples of using the tools you have and giving the names of the waxes and tools available is very valuable to someone like me wanting to do a bit of wax casting!
Thanks Andrew. I also use an alcohol lamp with dental picks in my wax work. I have a few other favorite tools for wax such as a speedball carving knife used for linocut.
Thank you Andrew, I've been wanting to learn about wax carving as I used to do a lot of carving when I was a potter and loved it.
Great direct and efficient video. Many thanks Andrew.

Hi Andrew, i Did once a beautiful Ring, i carved it all only with a needle... it was like 2 months of work ...
Greetings from another UA-camr in Mexico

Is there are second part to the video, or a video on wax carving? I can’t find it in your videos, but maybe I missed it
Merci Beaucoup, Cire Perdue.
Thank you
i love carving and shaping wax i have quite a few pieces finished just not the equipment to do the casting still love doing it though
Very nice video. But a list with the materials and tools including weblinks would be really great to have
I'm trying to learn atm, now I'm just sand casting rings, I am working up to having the gear to lost wax cast stuff.
I hope to be able to use the lost wax technique for personal accessories, glass art figures, and for inlays for knife guards or pommels in copper & brass
your videos are truely inspiring, I couldn't find the following videos about wax carving. There are some uploaded but Im not sure they are beginners tutorial. Can you help, many thanks.
Very helpful video for someone like myself starting. What is the name of the inner diameter carving mandrel? I cant seem to find them anywhere. Thanks for your help.
Informative, great introduction, slow, concise..so 18 thumbs down, what the hell? Well, I thought it was brilliant so Thankyou.
The wooden stick to widen the tubes is called a reamer.
Thank you!
What do you guys recommend for starting out doing jewelry?
Hi Andrew,
I just came across your channel and love how easy you explained all the tools. My question is that I am learning mold making and want to use wax as a sealer which other people use. I need to know what to use as a wax applicator to seal the objects that I will be making the molds out of to prevent leaks. I tried the wax max pen but that broke right off. I am also using museum wax for that, maybe that's the wrong wax.
Thank you so much
Look at Robert Tolone channel;he uses wax aot in molding
Nice video! Only I will had preffered a list with link of the tools for carving and not from what is was used for the video in the vlog. 😉
I have been fascinated by jewelry for years but never had the time to have a go. So this Video was great. I want to make an L sized in 9ct gold. So could I just carve it in wax and then try and cast it myself. There are no courses locally. Where would I purchase the materials.
So you could make gold bars with your name on it, is there letter font dies to write in the wax?
Where can I find the adapter bit to rotate wax on the flexshaft handpiece?
What is the name of the tha tip in 6;43 mandrell with blade
Andrew, I forgot to tell you the green wax goes ok with the Dremel, it does not melt.
Not if you have the right burr.
Have a great day !
what is that wax wooden mandrel called used to carve out the inside of the wax ring shapes?
Hello! Where can we find a lathe adapter to fit into the handpiece ? Thank you :)
Great video Andrew. Who makes the “milling table” that you use with the GRS system and the #30 hand piece? Also the #30 GRS holder you used to create a lathe. Thx.
Jeremiah Lubas it’s part of Kate Wolfs products. She is an awesome wax carver. Check her out. Just search for KateWolf
Can you use this wax to melt into a mold? Or is it only for carving?
HI, Andrew do you know a casting company in Europe? I have been searching a long time now but without finding one. I need to cast my my jewelry that I made in wax. Greetings from Denmark
Hi ..
Why Ihave to put silver in acid after soldring ?.. And what if I not ..?☺
حلو
Thank you Andrew , I need something to do now that I am old . Very cool ! Love it , I always wanted to make my own peices of art for my family and friends , hey who knows if I get good at it I could even make a little bit of money to off set our devaluing dollar by the Fed. God bless you and those who care enough to do right. PEACE ✌ We're all creations in Christ who are called by faith to believe.
Hi Andrew, great video. I'm wanting to make a pendant from scratch but because it's quite complex I've made the first mock up by cutting and sticking layers of card together to make my basic 3d shape and am then going to make a mould, in either plaster of silicon. Is it possible to then melt jewellers wax into the mould? The reason I want to do this is so I can have a rough version of my pendant in the wax that I can then refine instead of carving the wax from scratch.
If it were me, once I had the mold, I would just use PMC in it.
Different FROM. Similar TO
Ferris wax isn't cheap!
Because of you by God its giving me hope to see that God doesn't make junk. 😉
It's all fun and games untill someone breaks ur wax
