THE 3DWAXMILLER CLUB.

I offer my testimonial in the hope that it's of help to others, especially those outside of the USA. My name is Colin Creed, I live & work in Berwick, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Over many years, the focus of my Jewellery business has shifted to my talent as a wax carver. In doing so, I was bein...

Hi Larry,

Nice looking piece.
I guess that necessity was the Mother of Invention!
Lucky that you had a lathe & some delrin to make that punch!!
And Customers wonder why us Jewellers seem to lack that "Xmas Spirit" at Xmas time??

regards Colin.

Hi Larry,

A perfect example of reverse engineering of jewellery!
Looks great, Well done!

regards Colin.

Hi Winstone, Be sure that you have saved your photo/picture in a format that can be uploaded to the forum, first. If it's a photo, it needs to be saved as either a "GIF, JPEG, JPG, PNG, TGA, or TIF" file. I make this point, as in the "Subject Title" of your reply to Ken, you mention a "PCX" file. Th...

Hi John,

The ring looks really good. Well done!
I'm guessing that you milled the top as a seperate wax, to the base?

regards Colin.

Welcome Bill,

Now that you have your Mill, the real fun begins!!
You can now put all of that reading into practice.
Look forward to seeing your creations.
If you get stuck on anything, all you need to do is just ask.

Good Luck
Colin

Hi Ken,
Nice looking piece!

Hi everyone,

Here's the photos of the finished Wolf hammer & SAS pendant.

The Wolf hammer ended up weighing 25gms in 9ctYG.

Thanks Larry & Jeff,

I created a scroll similar to the one in ornaments but different.
Check 3D Engrave for the posting of Scroll wedder file.
I've added the scroll so it can be saved as an ornament.

regards Colin

Hi Everyone,

Diamond set wedder cast in 18ctWG was milled as flat design in Modela Player.

Surfer wax is to be cast in 9ctYG as a fixed pendant. Lugs have to fit a 100gm chain.
Chain links are 7.5mm wide x 2.5mm thick. This job is for another Jeweller.

Hi Michael, This is one of those pretty neat tricks, shown to me by an Old Time Jeweller that I worked with many years ago. The reasons are this: 1; Helps the customers to visualise their wax design in whichever metal. The grey for StgSil that's oxidised. The yellow for both 9ctYG & 18ctYG. 2; Helps...

Hi Everyone, This insignia maybe familiar to those with some military knowledge. It's the Aussie elite special forces (SAS) insignia. This wax is for another Jeweller & was scanned from a badge. I believe that it's going to be a gold pendant with dimonds set in handle of the sword. If I'm the one wh...
