Well, what I'm working on today I'll
share with you. I'm working on this thing
that it will hold a telephone, the phone
camera.  And the phone, iPhone, slides into
this slot and if you notice because the
iPhone has these buttons protruding got
to make a slot so when you slide the
phone and it doesn't activate those
buttons and then this wood in here is
shaped to take the roundness of the
phone and it slides in there and then
this is this shape here allows for the
lenses and you just have that in place
and it holds the phone in there just
beautifully.  Then this thing will be
mounted onto this and I'm right now
using epoxy putty to put in a bolt - a nut
and the bottom of this. And this nut has
got wires drilled into it to keep it
from spinning - in case it gets loose the
wires will hold it. And then I got pins
coming from the wood so that this
plug, epoxy plug, will be locked in there,
into there so it won't pull or spin.  Then
this will go on this thing and you just
bolt it to a tripod and you're boogying
to go out and shoot. Also working on this
sculpture, this little tiny sculpture and
and it'll be a light - light - lamp
sculpture and then I cast this little
lampshade.
It'll make a nice warm light. Those are
the things.  I'm also casting some other
shapes. I'm working this rubber mold and
then I have to split the mold to get the
positive out before I can make the new
thing. Positive is a clay thing and I
get the clay out and then close this
thing. But once it's closed, the resin,
I make the things out of resin, the
resin could leak out of this, this crack.
So in order to keep the thing in shape,
in the shape I want and keep it from
leaking, I've developed this poor man's
mother mold - paper towel impregnated with
wood glue, and it holds the whole thing,
the mold together, and in case that
leaks through that crack, it will keep
that - contain the thing, and it
works really good. So those are the
things I'm working on right now casting
these little pieces for sculpture and
making the rig for the phone. The rig for
the phone - you can get one at the store
that works, it's like perfect, but it's so
much fun to build our own things and
solve the problems and figure out a way
to do it on our own, but this one is even
better.
That's it for today. All the best to all of
you all. Keep on working!
