Chapter 733 What will the effect be (700 monthly, monthly tickets)
The sound was really different. As for the sound being better than the singing bowl made by others, he really couldn't tell.
There was no other way, Chen Wenzhe had no choice but to use his ultimate move and make a bell.
There are many clay molds for small bells, and there is no shortage of copper water on site. In this case, let’s continue casting!
Anyway, it is an experiment, so Chen Wenzhe can work hard and toss hard.
Of course, when he was making the copper bell, he remembered that he had also made some copper pipes just now.
When these are strung together, they become wind chimes.
After polishing, hanging the holes, when the wind blows, jingle! jingle...
“It sounds great!”
"It's just that the tapping speed is too slow!"
"The wind is too light?"
"No, the copper pipes we made are too thick and they are too heavy to be blown by the wind!"
"Why don't we just make a small copper bell and ring it ourselves, so we can know whether it sounds good or not?"
"Yes, it's easy to confirm whether the sound is loud or not."
"Then do it!" Chen Wenzhe also discovered at this time that he had made a stupid mistake, actually thinking of casting copper pipes?
How thick is the wall of the tube cast in this way?
It is better to make a bell than to make a clock. It is faster to make than making a clock.
Therefore, when preparing to make a slightly larger clock, Chen Wenzhe first made a lot of bells.
This time, I could tell it was good or bad.
The sound of the bells needs to be crisp and clear, so they all sound like jingling bells.
The sound of the bell needs to be loud and clear, that is, a tinkling sound.
When will there be only one sound: "Boom"...then it will be considered a success.
So, this time, a bronze bell half as tall as a man made a clanging sound.
The sound is deep, rich, and continuous.
I knocked once, but the sound kept ringing in my ears. This was the overtone of metal, which was particularly rich.
Is this the lingering sound? I can’t say it’s fairy music, but it’s really shocking to listen to!
Looking at the big clock in front of him, Chen Wenzhe felt very satisfied because he already had that meaning.
This is just the simplest one-piece casting. If he makes thirty-two stalactites and constantly adjusts the sound, what will the final effect be?
It is definitely not easy to imitate the Jingyun Bell. Not to mention the words on it, that one is the best to imitate, as long as it is the animal patterns on it.
Chen Wenzhe can name it casually, such as flying dragon, flying phoenix, crane, one-horned ox, walking master, etc.
Each of these images is unique and needs to be carefully crafted.
Of course, before carving, the clay model needs to be specially made, otherwise, these unique mythical beasts will not be formed on the clock face.
There are a total of five sections and twenty-six clay molds. If they are slightly dry, they need to be trimmed one by one until they are completely qualified.
On this day, all the preparation work was finally completed, and only after the clay mold was dry, it could be officially cast.
"Boss, we've finished the wooden mold!"
While Chen Wenzhe was admiring the clay model he had made, a worker came over to report.
"Wooden model? Arhat wooden model?" Chen Wenzhe was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.
He has been working a lot recently. While making various musical instruments, he can also make whatever comes to mind, such as some brassware!
Forget it if it is too complicated, but you really need to make a batch of some copper pots, copper bowls, etc. These things are also very good as daily necessities.
Apart from these things, they are the Eighteen Arhats!
The wooden molds made by the workers are definitely not up to standard, and Chen Wenzhe still needs to do the final touches.
The wooden molds made of wood are Arhat statues that are taller than humans.
With various movements, each one is quite large in size, so these wooden models are not one piece, but spliced together.
After splicing and polishing, carving is done on it.
Now we have just cut out the general shape, and Chen Wenzhe still needs to do the fine carving.
Chen Wenzhe's wood carving skills are not bad at all. Of course, most of this skill comes from the inheritance of stone carving and jade carving skills.
For carving, he is no weaker than making porcelain.
Therefore, carving the Eighteen Arhats was just a waste of his time, and it was not difficult for him.
When the eighteen wooden statues were completed, the most important thing was to deal with their eyes.
This is different from porcelain sculpture. Color materials cannot be used for finishing touches, so Chen Wenzhe can only perform special processing.
Fortunately, his overall skills have been improving recently, otherwise, his finishing skills would really have no use here.
After all, casting a bronze statue and painting, glazing and firing are completely different things, and they are also different from painting.
However, if you think about it logically, this is a disguised form of cheating.
The most difficult thing to do with the character's eyes is actually blue and white, because you need to pay attention to blurring.
Once you can control the problem of blue and white halo, this problem will be relatively simple.
On the bronze statue, Chen Wenzhe needs to do detailed processing. After the bronze statue is cast, it will be carefully polished to make some subtle points reflective. In this way, it may be able to create special effects that are not available in porcelain.
After all, eyes are designed to reflect light, and they contain vitreous body.
Metal naturally has luster. As long as it is processed well, the eyes of the bronze statue can not only be lifelike, but can even create a radiant effect.
In order to achieve the effect in Chen Wenzhe's design, advanced polishing techniques must be used, and Chen Wenzhe is not worried about this at all, because when he passed on the tradition of firing gold bricks, he unexpectedly acquired another unique skill -
-Mirror grinding!
Pull out the skill list and look at the column of unique skills: Phantom Sculpture, Yingying Baoguang, Mirror Grinding, Red Spots and Green Rust, Bronze, and the finishing touch;
There are six types in total, among which the Phantom Eagle should be the most useful here.
Because the illusion carving technology uses visual deception.
Next is the Yingying Baoguang, mirror grinding, bronze and finishing touches. These special skills can be used here.
If you want to make it old, even red spots and green rust can be used.
Yingying Baoguang is actually a kind of surface treatment of objects, and to achieve this effect, mirror grinding is indispensable.
Needless to say, other bronzers and finishing touches.
To this extent, Chen Wenzhe can actually use all of these unique skills, and they still use them in conjunction with each other.
Since then, it has become more convenient for him, and he feels very comfortable no matter what he does.
After the wooden mold is made, the next step is to use the sand casting process to start pouring.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe stopped for another day.
He was thinking, could he go further?
Therefore, he once again made eighteen small wooden molds and used sand casting technology to cast eighteen palm-sized bronze statues of Arhat.
This time, he wanted to show off his carving skills, especially the illusion carving technology.
Therefore, after the copper water was poured, we used the experience of those old workers to quickly open the mold after a short period of solidification.
The timing was very accurate. After the mold was opened, the bronze statue solidified slightly, but it was not completely solidified yet.
The bronze statue was still very hot at this time, but Chen Wenzhe still put on thick heat-insulating gloves and a carving knife to quickly carve the face of an Arhat.
