Faux Bronze Plaque: How to sculpt a nameplate from epoxy clay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- James Gurney shows how to make a Steampunk-style plaque out of epoxy clay, wood, springs, and wire. The result looks like an antique cast bronze sign with raised letters, but this method is much faster and cheaper to make for the home craftsperson. The plaque is made with animated elements that rotate and lift up and down, operated by manual crank levers that turn a camshaft.

I don’t know of any other UA-camr who is as willing (or happy) to give away their secrets to their viewers as Mr. Gurney. Another great video, thank you for sharing.
He's simply the best, there's no way around that!
That is exactly what l thought. He ‘gives’ all. What a guy!
It’s like a UA-cam Mr. Roger’s. I grew up with his books. As an adult amateur painter, I gather great support it seems from watching his vids. And, no matter my age, we all love dinosaurs. Mr. Gurney, you are one of the greatest!
So cool! That's a true handyman!!
Nothing better than the old school mechanics, the nuts and bolts of creation and imagination. Fantastic!!!
I really love these steampunk animations, James. Really sets channel apart and looks like it's fun to do. I'm so glad you decided to makes these behind-the-scenes videos on how to make these.
I don’t understand the thumbs down. Crazy talent and imagination. Since I started to follow you I bought every single book you did. Just amazing how much knowledge you are sharing in those books. Thank you.
You’re just a genius. This is so creative!
I couldn't agree more!
Things like this truly shows the power of practical effects. Wonderfully done.
I've been really enjoying your videos for about a month now and was admiring that "bronze" item. Getting that patina easier said than done. Really clever. Thanks for showing us how it's all done. As you can see you're inspiring all kinds of people, all over the world. Love watching your content, infinitely more interesting than most things on TV. Keep it coming Mr Gurney. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
when a child soul, full of creativity, live inside an adult body capable of finding the physicals/intellectuals solutions to acheive the goal, you have an artist! like JG
Hi!This is me again, your Russian subscriber who can't speak English (thank you, Yandex translator)
I don't understand half of what you're saying,but the process is delaying to the point of insanity!Your work is amazing,and I won't stop repeating it!Thank you for the nice videos!
Mr. Gourney is the ultimate genius!
I am forever wowed by your creativity and playfulness, James!!!
This is the coolest video/channel I've seen all month.
Well James, you did a good job. I’ve watched dozens of your videos and always thought it was real bronze.
Thanks you Mister Gurney. You are the kind of friend I never had.
What a genius! The amount of thought and craftsmanship used in this is incredible.
How is it possible that there are 2 people who have hit the Unlike button?! I want to give this 2 or more Likes 😊

I am in shock that this isn't REAL... Looking at this here... I would not have even questioned it...
"WOW" I work in the Film and Theartre business and do a lot of Faux Art... This is amazing!!!!
The efforts and lengths of your creativity is beyond belief. I giggled all the way through.....my husband is a tinker too, his preferred gadget making material is PVC....we call him the PVC King. Always a joy to watch and listen to you videos. LOL
Mr. Gurney, your skill and imagination never cease to amaze. I had an old graphic arts professor named Lou Brierly who, about 40 years ago, was fond of saying "I _hate_ talented people." He would have despised you. :)
This is pretty darned awesome! I’ve admired this set up at the end of lots of your videos and can say the secret to it all is a good amount of genius and a few tools. Thanks for sharing! Now, if I can only . . .
wow that's incredible. do it yourself in the true sense of the word. you are a great artist. thanks for sharing
Since you ran out of things to paint. Set up and pain the trash collection. It's a hard but a necessary and interesting job. Too! Dumpster diving is great fun and like treasure hunting on a budget. My great uncle worked for the city trash collection for decades and amassed all kinds of treasure. As a kid, I thought he was like King Solomon -the richest man on earth.😊
This was very informative, and wonderful. For decades your work has inspired me, and just left me in awe. THANK YOU!
Mr. Gurney, I have been watching your videos, paying attention to your suggestions, advice and tips and just being captivated by the wealth of creativity and information you provide. You're a true creative genius, period! It's simply amazing the many things you come up with and a joy to watch! You are a GREAT inspiration to me and to many others. Thank you sooo much for putting your talents out there for everyone to see and witness. You are doing great things! I will be watching and admiring along the way.
Well said and I couldn't agree more!
Just when I thought I couldn’t be MORE of a fan!!! I love this.
Now that's something! I like the steampunk style and the amazing work you did here! Thanks for sharing!
I love the life-sized gadget opening you made-and how it fits a doorway!
I've always hoped you would make a video on your gadget and how you made it. Thank you for making that a reality!
WOW James!!! You are from another world!
Just discovered you on utube and have been binging on your videos. Love your work, and must say your creativity is amazing. Reminds me of my brother. Wasn't anything he couldn't do or create!! Thank you.
Now I know how it works!
Wow !! You are not only a great artist but also a great inventor !!
This aesthetic is like PBS at its best.
James, You would be an awesome neighbor to be around.
Towards the very end of the video ... mouse-traps ... huh?!?
You, Sir, remind me of McGuyver; the only difference is the absence of drama in your video.
I love the bronze plaque and many thanks for sharing.
Much respect!
Those camera tricks are really cool.
A Renaissance man!
I can't believe your artistry😲 sooo wonderful
Something really awesome and cool .. greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Ok Leonardo DeVinci!! I love your videos!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice. I love it. I actually specialize in these sort of works and your technique and way of innovating is excellent. Very nice Mr. Gurney!
This is proper genius . You are genius .
I admire how clever you are!
So entertaining to watch and was a nice change of pace. Thanks.
I'm amazed this is done in clay! The first time I saw this I thought for sure, you had created the bronze plate in Adobe Photoshop, at least that how I would created it. This is definitely a different approach to the end product.
HE'S SO CREATIVE!!!!!!!
Amazing! Thank you Mr. Gurney.
This video made me smile
So much creativity is just awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I really can't believe how much effort you put into your videos.
Absolutely delightful to watch.
Loved that. I've built similar contraptions for children's games, but with 3D software.
Thank you, that is just pure genius, I was amazed the same way I was as a kid when seeing someone create something, I have made things from scratch and can really appreciate the time that can go into something. I have enjoyed watching that at the end of your videos, reminds me of other things that would react to water and other natural elements :-)
You Sir are a Genius!
Unbelievably brilliant. A never ending source of talent.
Always wondered how you did that; you’re not only a talented painter, a skilled sculptur too! Love your videos
Fantastic !
Wow! I just have no words 😲😲😲
Great Job James
Wow, you are very creative. Every time I get to the end of one of your videos I'll remember this one.
You are amazing with your creations
On top of being a world class painter you can do all this!? Amazing video!!!
You are such a genius; creative, innovative, skillful, amazing. Your art is amazing, so beautiful, so inspiring, and genius creations are superb. Lucky are those who have you around. Really glad I found your channel. You inspired me to start my amateur painting again after long time of no creativity.
Espectaculoooooo! Maestro tu creatividad!! Saludos especiales desde Medellín Colombia 🇨🇴
Clever! I admire the precision and care you put into all your creations. Thanks for sharing this process. So fascinating.
Good grief James, you're just incredibly talented and creative! 👍👌🙌🙌🙌 Thank you for sharing, your secrets! So interesting to watch! 💙
So creative! Amazing!
Steampunk master!
Wow!, James!...great stuff, not only you are a great artist but also a great craftsmen...thanks for sharing!!
Great is he , who can retain his childish heart.👌🏽
You’re just amazing; your hand-crafted creativity is a delight!
I love the practical effects. They are time consuming but worth it. ♥
You are a genius! 😆
Nicely done.
So coool! Love your creativity!
this is SO COOL and so innovative you're awesome and I love your videos!
Wow, impressive and amusing.
It's so cool to watch your videos about making things, like this end screen tool or the dolly you made. It's really inspiring!
I love it! An alternative to Magic Sculpt is Milliput (the one in the red packaging). Way cheaper and stronger for bigger projects. Also you can use thick styrene sheet for the frame instead of plywood. Cheaper and easier to cut and glue with standard plastic glue used for plastic modelling.
Most impressive. James, you never cease to amaze
Was more interested on how Mr. Gurney fit in that button. This is amazing thanks!
You're as cool as Tom Waits -- I wanna be like you when I'm older.
Looks Great!
James, marvellous. Apart from artist mind you also have an engineer`s mind.
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
I enjoy this video very much.
I'snt gouache, but it's very funny. Work whit mind and hands. You are great.
I would probably make a house number plate with this idea
You are extremely inspiring. Thank you.
Before you became an artist were you by chance an engineer with some major company like Boeing,Nasa??I'm really impressed with your skills.Thanks for sharing!!
Mr. Gurney, we don't deserve your mind!
Cool! Thanks for sharing.
You're so creative.
Very creative I love it!
Me encanta tu arte.
