You form your design in wax, place it into a cylinder that's then filled with plaster. Once the plaster dries, it's put into a kiln that burns away all the wax. There's a process where molten metal is injected into the negative area in the plaster. It's pretty neat. We had a setup for it at my high school. Wax is more forgiving then dremel tool on metal. /s |

may have said: Anyone ever make a custom headtube badge? I'm thinking it might be fun to do. Possibly enameling. I tried something similar once. I hand-drew the design I wanted on a sheet of .040" copper using an etch-resist pen, etched it down about ..010 with PC board etchant, bent it to the desired curvature, stamped in the numeric identifiers I needed using my steed leeter and number stamps, had it chrome plated, and installed it with drive rivets. This was on a piece of equipment for which an ID plate was mandated but none was available due to the manufacturer having been out of business for 20+ years. I could have gone with tin plate and eliminated the need to stamp it before plating, but chrome seemed like the better choice. It looked damn good, but the copper was soft; it would not have been hard for it to have been damaged by incautious handling. If I'd had access to a rolling mill and thicker stock, I'd have work-hardened the sheet while reducing its thickness before doing the etch work. Heating copper just makes it softer. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail. Typoes are not a bug, they're a feature.
