I love it. I'm following along, yah, sure I could do that, good, sure..... and then around step 6, magic occurs. Even if you were working in wax, to make a casting, that would be phenominal, but this work leaves me breathless.

 

Thank you,

 

Geoff

So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy.

Thank you! I really enjoy watching this and learn much.

Do you even out the cut marks in the background (left from carving the relief) with the tool that makes a rough imprint?

 

I am very interested in getting a copy of that book. Do you know how and where to best to place an order?

 

Greatly looking forward to see more!

Haha, bronze, play sometime.

Sean, It is a not bad book, with lots photos of the Chinese Ancient swords. good luck.

 

Amazing work. It's like deep wood carving only in metal. It looks like your carving bronze. Is it? I see your brazing with brass rod. I would love to order the book as well. Thank you for showing us this.

holy poop man, you have sure learned your art well. I hope that a few others are able to be inspired by you and continue the tradition. It would be a tragedy to let something that beautiful pass away. I respect your skill and also your dedication to keeping the art of your ancestors alive and moving into the next generation.

 

good work.

Peter, a good question.

 

The background are cuted flat by the cut chisels. and then covered by the 麻点錾(ma dian zan) (mini dots in one chisels, see the attached photos for reference)

CHISELSINDIVIDUALVIEW3.jpg

 

due to that's no possible to cut the 100% flat background. so it will looks bad in the sunshine, so we use to 麻点錾(ma dian zan) to cover the defect. and then it will be looks better.

 

And im sure most of you, be familiar with this. called 鱼子地(yu zi di) see the attached photos for reference

CHISELSINDIVIDUALVIEW5.jpg

 

the Dia of the dot is 2mm to 1mm to 0.6 mm as usual.

I am having trouble getting the photos to show. Are there any tips for fixing this?

Gorgeous! It would never come up to me to carve the shapes directly into the metal. I generally cast the decoration, except for lines, dots etc. which I punch afterwards. Interesting to see different approaches :)
