For that reason I wanted to go back to something that was brought to my attention by a <a href=\"http:\/\/boards.core77.com\/viewtopic.php?t=9711\">post over on the Core77 design forum<\/a>. The sculptor for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelsandgringos.com\/\">Angels and Gringos<\/a> toy project started a thread to inform us of a &#8220;how-to&#8221; video over on Vinyl Pulse. I&#8217;ve just watched it. Fun stuff. But like the Itokin toy (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/?p=791\">reLink<\/a>), I find it interesting that no one seems to pour mold material for their masters using a vacuum pump (that&#8217;s how you reduce bubbles in the negative which is what you use to create a positive master). From that thread:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The video is the &#8220;The Making of Sancho&#8221; &#8211; Sancho is a piece of vinyl art I will be releasing in November. The mold took me from the clay piece to the resin casting that would become my tooling master. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So if you have a few minutes, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinylpulse.com\/angels_and_gringos\/index.html\">Angels and Gringos entries on Vinyl Pulse (Link)<\/a> and then maybe take a peek at the <a href=\"http:\/\/images.vinylpulse.com\/qt-html\/qt-sancho_making.html\">moldmaking video (QT Link)<\/a>. Air evacuation or not, it&#8217;s still interesting to see how the niche people are getting the job done. There certainly doesn&#8217;t seem to be a quality issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been remiss in keeping tabs on the good folks (and good posts) over on Vinyl Pulse.
