Work on the tin

<< Previous page | Next page >>

I am working with several different techniques according to the objects that I want to create. Each technique requires a particular knowledge to make and specific tools, which for the majority of them comes from the long history of the dinandery...


The work of a brass-ware dealer:

Un tour à repousser

 

With a tour à repousser
Tin can be worked with a tour à repousser. We start with a tin disc then which we fix on the tour and which we work with a very hard wooden spoon (like the boxwood). We then obtain cups, muds and other cylindrical objects...On part alors d'un disque en étain que l'on fixe sur le tour et qui se travaille avec une cuillère en bois très dur (comme le buis).
 

Des formes en buis
Some boxwood forms


Les maillets

With a hammer
We can also work the plates of tin with a hammer. I use for that gauges in wood. That gives me more freedom and makes it possible to make objects of any form. This technique requires much more time as for the first one.

Travail au marteau


Une médaille en étain

The mouldings
Finally, it is possible to create mouldings in tin. For that, I prepare mussels of the shape of the desired object and fill them with melt tin. When cooled, I polished the objects obtained by the acid before putting them in a gravel bath so that they become more brilliant. I thus manufacture many small animals, but also crosses and various pendentives and key-rings. I can thus create medal eries for cities or associations. To contact me to know some more.
