JC week 8: cutting cross guard brass


NB: journal entry for the Jewellery and Small object module at South bank Griffith university (QCA) to view the full journal click here


The following is a record of the cutting of the panels are for the cross guard (final project)


Brass is a harder metal, previously ive cut aluminium at home but my saw does not take the JC blades, so this had to be done in studio time

The curved sections had to be cut first, and due to depth the cuts had to be made from two directions as the saw's depth was too shallow.

all curves have been cut

the seperation of the two halves was made using the cutting maching

The center curves were then cut out
