Thank you for your advice! The examples of using the tools you have and giving the names of the waxes and tools available is very valuable to someone like me wanting to do a bit of wax casting!
Thanks Andrew. I also use an alcohol lamp with dental picks in my wax work. I have a few other favorite tools for wax such as a speedball carving knife used for linocut.
Thank you Andrew for sharing your tutorials video on Wax Carving, just in time that’s what I needed this because I’m going to take courses on Wax Carving ❤
Andrew,what was the very first tool you bought when you first started? I started late 45 years old,my first tool was the neycraft centrifuge.12 years later I own a complete casting shop. Your channel has helped me.Thank you. Before bench work was a secret society.
I hope to be able to use the lost wax technique for personal accessories, glass art figures, and for inlays for knife guards or pommels in copper & brass
Great video as always Andrew. What would be even more useful with videos like these, is a list of all the tools shown and where they can be purchased. Thanks again for sharing
Very helpful video for someone like myself starting. What is the name of the inner diameter carving mandrel? I cant seem to find them anywhere. Thanks for your help.
Yo dude, many thanks for the upload! I'm not sure if I'm gonna get all the tools until I'm ready to dive all the way in, but this gives me an idea how to get started in wax carving for Jewelry.
I have been fascinated by jewelry for years but never had the time to have a go. So this Video was great. I want to make an L sized in 9ct gold. So could I just carve it in wax and then try and cast it myself. There are no courses locally. Where would I purchase the materials.
your videos are truely inspiring, I couldn't find the following videos about wax carving. There are some uploaded but Im not sure they are beginners tutorial. Can you help, many thanks.
Hi Andrew, i Did once a beautiful Ring, i carved it all only with a needle... it was like 2 months of work ... Greetings from another TH-camr in Mexico
Hi Andrew, I just came across your channel and love how easy you explained all the tools. My question is that I am learning mold making and want to use wax as a sealer which other people use. I need to know what to use as a wax applicator to seal the objects that I will be making the molds out of to prevent leaks. I tried the wax max pen but that broke right off. I am also using museum wax for that, maybe that's the wrong wax. Thank you so much
Great video Andrew. Who makes the “milling table” that you use with the GRS system and the #30 hand piece? Also the #30 GRS holder you used to create a lathe. Thx.
HI, Andrew do you know a casting company in Europe? I have been searching a long time now but without finding one. I need to cast my my jewelry that I made in wax. Greetings from Denmark
Hi Andrew, great video. I'm wanting to make a pendant from scratch but because it's quite complex I've made the first mock up by cutting and sticking layers of card together to make my basic 3d shape and am then going to make a mould, in either plaster of silicon. Is it possible to then melt jewellers wax into the mould? The reason I want to do this is so I can have a rough version of my pendant in the wax that I can then refine instead of carving the wax from scratch.
Thank you Andrew , I need something to do now that I am old . Very cool ! Love it , I always wanted to make my own peices of art for my family and friends , hey who knows if I get good at it I could even make a little bit of money to off set our devaluing dollar by the Fed. God bless you and those who care enough to do right. PEACE ✌ We're all creations in Christ who are called by faith to believe.
I'm taking a casting class right now, this film is going to help me catch up quickly since I had to miss last week. Thank you!
I LOVE Kate. I was honored to take a class from her last year. Thank you for this refresher on her tools and her wax. You're the best, Andrew!

I'm trying to learn atm, now I'm just sand casting rings, I am working up to having the gear to lost wax cast stuff.
I hope to be able to use the lost wax technique for personal accessories, glass art figures, and for inlays for knife guards or pommels in copper & brass
Thank you Andrew, I've been wanting to learn about wax carving as I used to do a lot of carving when I was a potter and loved it.
Great video as always Andrew. What would be even more useful with videos like these, is a list of all the tools shown and where they can be purchased. Thanks again for sharing

And people complain about the price of custom jewelry.look at the amount of tools you have to have.🤩
Very helpful video for someone like myself starting. What is the name of the inner diameter carving mandrel? I cant seem to find them anywhere. Thanks for your help.

Look at Robert Tolone channel;he uses wax aot in molding
Can you use this wax to melt into a mold? Or is it only for carving?
Very detailed video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much andrew, most helpful!
Really great overview! Thank you :)
Fascinating video... learnt a lot!
What do you guys recommend for starting out doing jewelry?
Where can I find the adapter bit to rotate wax on the flexshaft handpiece?
can you recommend some brands of electric wax carving pen?
This is cheap Duratool D03172 8W Mini Soldering Station 450°C but good
Thank you
Thanks a lot for excelent explanation
Great video Andrew. Who makes the “milling table” that you use with the GRS system and the #30 hand piece? Also the #30 GRS holder you used to create a lathe. Thx.
Jeremiah Lubas it’s part of Kate Wolfs products. She is an awesome wax carver. Check her out. Just search for KateWolf
So useful thank you
Wow! Thank you, Andrew! Great video. Will you be at JCK, Vegas?
Love the more advanced stuff!
So you could make gold bars with your name on it, is there letter font dies to write in the wax?
Hi ..
Why Ihave to put silver in acid after soldring ?.. And what if I not ..?☺
Helpful video, I want to get into this and make custom jewellery and I feel I know what I need to start trying it out now 👍
dear Andrew, thank you for everything!
HI, Andrew do you know a casting company in Europe? I have been searching a long time now but without finding one. I need to cast my my jewelry that I made in wax. Greetings from Denmark
What is the name of the tha tip in 6;43 mandrell with blade
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Nice video! Only I will had preffered a list with link of the tools for carving and not from what is was used for the video in the vlog. 😉
Informative, great introduction, slow, concise..so 18 thumbs down, what the hell? Well, I thought it was brilliant so Thankyou.
Great info
Andrew, I forgot to tell you the green wax goes ok with the Dremel, it does not melt.
Not if you have the right burr.
Have a great day !
Thank you! Very instructive :)
Hi Andrew, great video. I'm wanting to make a pendant from scratch but because it's quite complex I've made the first mock up by cutting and sticking layers of card together to make my basic 3d shape and am then going to make a mould, in either plaster of silicon. Is it possible to then melt jewellers wax into the mould? The reason I want to do this is so I can have a rough version of my pendant in the wax that I can then refine instead of carving the wax from scratch.
If it were me, once I had the mold, I would just use PMC in it.
Thank you Andrew , I need something to do now that I am old . Very cool ! Love it , I always wanted to make my own peices of art for my family and friends , hey who knows if I get good at it I could even make a little bit of money to off set our devaluing dollar by the Fed. God bless you and those who care enough to do right. PEACE ✌ We're all creations in Christ who are called by faith to believe.
