Mill and Cast
I am quite into watching blacksmith making sword. So I want to make a sword this week.
-------------

-------------
Model the wax male mold
I downloaded a .stl file and the length of sword is about 24in, I scale down the sword,
but to mill the entire sword the thickness of sword will be smaller than 0.1in,
so I just mill the handle, but the thickness of handle is still really thin.

MasterCam Setup
setting up the MasterCam file.

Milling using Intelitek
-------------
The wax is perfectly milled.

Pouring my oomoo mix.
The left one is a successful pour. The right one has really high viscocity, because
the oomoo was stored in the venting hood, the low temperature in venting hood is really low.
I put the oomoo in the room temperature and it works good.
Casting my sword
I pour the hydrostone into the mold, and wait for about 5min, and clamp two pieces together.
The part is too slender, the edge just break when I tear apart the mold.
