Hello munchkins and thropps,

In the words of Hector Barbossa -

“I’ve a venture underway and I find myself in need of a ship and a crew”

Actually, you can keep your ships and crews to yourselves. No, wait, I would like a ship. I could then fulfill one of my life’s dreams (to swing around a ship on ropes ala Rheepicheep in the BBC production of Dawn Treader, and lean out over the bow ala Russell Crowe in Master and Commander and so on.)

MOVING ON!

If you’re interested in being a member of cast/crew/equippment providers, then please email me, with ‘House of Bread’ as the subject. (For once, that’s not a random subject choice, it’s the title of the film. Don’t worry, the film has nothing to do with bakeries. In fact, it has nothing to do with bread at all, and very little to do with houses.)

Before you all zip off an email of interest, there’s a few things you will need…

• You will need to have decent amounts of free-time over the next two weeks for filming. Preferably all of you free on the same day, to get it all out of the way, but shooting can easily be done in small clumps. So just decent amounts of free-time will suffice.

• I’m not a Cranky Director, but you will need a certain degree of patience. I’m not great at getting my actors’ performances to align with my project visions, that’s all. So be prepared to bear with me.

• This film is Christian. Those involved will be seen as upholding Christian views. If you have a problem with Christianity, you probably don’t want to be involved.

• This film will be broadcast on youtube, and probably in other public locations. You’ll have to be okay with this. (Pseudonyms may be used.)

That’s all! There’s not even a large amount of acting required, so if you don’t fancy yourself an oscar-winning performer, then that’s no problem. In fact, please apply!! I’d love to have you!!

I look forward to being inundated with applications, my muppets!!

Most twelve-year-old’s idea of a crazy project is building a Lego car or a tree house. Mine was to build a backyard foundry. I’m not sure where I got the idea from, but I think it was seeing an advertisement for Dave Gingery’s series of books in the back of Popular Mechanics. Dave Gingery created a whole series of instructional booklets and plans for the home machinist. He had books on how to build just about any piece of equipment from lathes to band saws to foundries.

Fortunately I had a father who, when presented with the idea of his twelve-year-old heating aluminum to a liquid state, not only encouraged me, but helped me gather all the necessary equipment. He also kept an eye on me, ensuring I didn’t end up in the ER’s burn unit or on an episode of “World’s Most Bizarre Backyard Accidents.”

The Actual furnace was made from a large popcorn can lined with a sand/fire clay mix, and heated with charcoal. We used a blower motor from a discarded dishwasher to raise the furnace temperature high enough to melt aluminum. My dad came up with the clever idea of using a stainless steel camping mug as a crucible. The end result was pretty similar to what you see below.

I have pictures of my actual furnace that I need to scan and post. The fact that they are on film should date this project pretty well. The biggest challenge at the time was mold making. I lacked critical components, namely casting sand, cope and drag molds, and parting dust, so I was limited to making impressions in a bed of sand then filing them with molten aluminum, which was still pretty cool. If I had known about lost foam casting at the time, I would have been able to make complex shapes easily.

Now that the trip down memory lane is over, lets move on to recent events. My machine shop class assigned a casting project using the lost foam casting process. This casting process uses expendable foam molds that are covered in sand. Molten metal is poured in, evaporating the foam and replacing it with metal. The name derives from the fact that the foam is burned up, ie lost, in the process. You can make much more complex shapes with lost foam casting than you can with the standard cope and drag method.

We made our patterns from 4″ extruded polystyrene, aka blue home insulation. We had a hot wire cutter available to us, but I decided I wanted to do something a little different. When I asked if I could turn foam in a lathe the response I got was a resounding “probably?”  So I threw caution to the wind and chucked in the lathe.

It worked.

Sort of.

With successive passes the foam block became loose in the chuck and started to wobble, eventually falling out. Fortunately it simply fell into the chip tray, rather than becoming a deadly hurty projectile.

Sliding the tail stock over and using a live center stopped the wobbling issue.

The foam machined surprisingly well on the lathe, I don’t remember the exact speed, but I believe it was around 400 rpm. After a dozen or so passes I had reduced the cube to a cylinder and began machining the features.

Can you guess what it is?

It’s a Rook (the chess piece that looks like a castle). I carved the rest of features using an exacto knife.

Here’s the final pattern waiting to be cast.

The white block is a piece of beaded polystyrene foam that forms the sprue.

The patterns are placed in the forms and filed in with casting sand, which was a mix of silica sand, bentonite clay, and water.

A small well is dug around the sprue to contain the excess metal. In casting you always want to control where your molten metal goes, as a stream of 1200 degree metal flowing randomly can do lots of damage very quickly.

The casting shop uses an induction furnace to melt metals. The small gray block on the left is the actual furnace, and the enourmnous blue box on the right is the power supply that conditions the current necessary to run the furnace. The system consumes something like 600kW and emits an ominous, high-pitched whine due to magnetostriction. Try and incorporate that word into a conversation this week.

Passing a coil of wire over the furnace induces a current in the wire, which lights the bulb.

The crucible is preheated to keep the aluminum hot enough to make multiple pours.

The rough casting emerges from it’s sandy cocoon.

The end result, after cutting off the sprue and grinding the base.

Seguimos con la serie de canciones para el casting del musical. La idea es que cada participante elija de entre las 5 canciones con cuál se va a presentar al casting, su mejor arma para ser seleccionado. Y no puede faltar, aunque no se trate de un musical en sí, está perdonado, pues sobre el escenarioo Rocío Jurado era una de las mejores interpretando la letra de las canciones. ¿Quién se atreve a sacar la pantera enamorada que lleva dentro y hacer un gospel repartiendo mucho amor?

(video para ensayar)

Como yo te amo, como yo te amo
convéncete, convéncete, nadie te amará.
Como yo te amo, como yo te amo
olvídate, olvídate, nadie te amará,
nadie te amará, nadie porque… Yo.

Te amo con la fuerza de los mares, yo
te amo con el ímpetu del viento, yo
te amo en la distancia y en el tiempo, yo
te amo con mi alma y con i sangre, yo
te amo como el niño a su mañana, yo
te amo como el hombre a sus recuerdos, yo
te amo a puro grito y en silencio, yo
te amo de una forma sobrehumana, yo
te amo en la alegría y en el llanto, yo
te amo en el peligro y en la calma, yo
te amo cuando gritas, cuando callas, yo
te amo tanto, yo, te amo tanto, yo.

Como yo te amo, como yo te amo
recuérdalo, recuérdalo,
nadie te amará, nadie te amará.
Como yo te amo, como yo te amo
olvídate, olvídate,
nadie te amará, nadie te amará.
nadie porque… Yo…

Take a look at the recent updates in the Student Work section of the blog.

Tonight I went off for a casting with FSC model agency. They are a fairly new agency and I was lucky to be accepted way back when they had their opening a few months ago. They also host a shop for clothes called Zeen. The two ladies that run the agency and the shop are Elyna Carver and Jennifer Felissimo. To very lovely people I have had the fortune to know.
We were give a skin and eyes and asked to style ourselves in a punk style for the casting. I was very nervous but did what I thought a punk was like. I didnt know till i googled the meaning that there were so many different types of punks. It was really interesting to find out what Wikipedia had to say.
Please excuse the above pictures but as anyone knows trying to take a pic listen to the instructions and model is soooo hard to do:)

2 Different styles
2.1 Standard punk
2.2 Hardcore
2.3 Anarcho-punk
2.4 Crust punk
2.5 Gothic rock, deathrock and horror punk
2.6 Psychobilly
2.7 Skate punk
2.8 Pop punk
2.9 Droog
2.10 Suicidals

I must say I wont copy all the information here but it was unbelievable all the different styles. I real enjoyed the styling and choose the following items

Skin : *NOIR* female skin
Eyes: *NOIR* eyes
Hair : .::MADesigns HAIR::. ~ SETH ~ CB V
Clothes :>>GothiCatz<< Dystopian
Shoes:BAX Ankle Boot Black Patent
Accessories: Gems and Kisses long drop earrings.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and was so lucky to make the cut with five other talented people including the girl you can see in front of me Kat.
Well done everyone a great casting.

Today we’ll examine one of the best-preserved pieces of machinery at the smelter, the Walker casting wheel. In use until the smelter closed in 1971, the Walker wheel was one of the many cost-saving improvements made in 1919/1920. By automating the casting process, smelter executives hoped to cut down on the time and manpower necessary to fill high-volume custom orders. As the American Bridge Company erected the new Casting House, the search began for a casting machine. By 1920, two basic casting machine designs, the Walker and the Clark, were available for use at the smelter. After thorough research of machines at other smelters, Quincy executives decided that the Clark design was superior. This machine, essentially identical to the Walker wheel, could cast forms both radially and tangentally, an important feature that allowed the wheel to cast large anodes and wire bars to precise dimensions. However, the Clark design proved too expensive for Quincy, so executives settled for a Walker machine. Although the Walker wheel was built to a standard design, such a large piece of machinery was not an off the shelf item. Instead, Quincy executives purchased plans and the right to erect a Walker machine and shopped around for a suitable contractor to actually build it. Ultimately, the Worthington Pump Manufacturing Company submitted the most attractive bid, and began to fabricate the various components for the wheel. The wheel arrived by rail at the new Casting House in pieces, leaving smelter workers to erect it on previously prepared foundations. The new machine required quite a bit of tinkering to make everything work correctly, and ultimately went into production with the No.3/5 combination furnace in late 1920/1921.[1]

The Walker automatic casting machine was invented in 1897 by A.R. Walker. Essentially a large rotating turntable, the machine allowed a single operator to perform the work of several men using hand casting to tap older furnaces. When the machine was in operation, workers tapped the furnace into a short crucible trough. Copper flowed down the trough to a suspended ladle, entering the machine. The operator, seated in the center of the wheel, poured the copper into sand molds hanging on the radial arms of the wheel by using a series of levers to tilt the ladle. When the mold was filled, the operator rotated the wheel, moving an empty mold under the ladle. The copper cooled in the molds as it rotated away from the ladle. When the full molds reached the opposite of the circle, they were automatically dumped into a large water-filled sump (called a bosh) for cooling. An inclined conveyor pulled the castings up from the water, exposing them to a series of cooling sprayers as they traveled upward. At the top of the conveyor, the castings (now fully cooled) were dumped onto another conveyor for movement to a loading dock. The empty molds, meanwhile, were recoated with a separating agent (typically ash) and rotated back around the wheel until they came under the ladle again for refilling. The Walker machine, requiring only five men to run, could cast over 50,000 pounds of ingots in one hour.[2]

Once installed, the Walker wheel worked in concert with the No.5 furnace to cast most of the smelter’s copper after 1921. Despite the advantages of the labor-saving machinery, it went out of service in the late 1920s when the No.3/5 furnace proved too large to economically smelt the ever-smaller charges of copper coming from the mines. The wheel was reactivated in 1950 when workers rebuilt the No.5 furnace, and the machine served the smelter until the shutdown in 1971. Like the No.5 furnace, the relatively recent abandonment of the Walker wheel left the machine well preserved. Although there are no molds currently mounted on the wheel’s arms, everything else remains in place. The control station, radial arms, cooling apparatus, and conveyors are all well preserved, making the Walker wheel the centerpiece of the Casting House. Copper Country Explorer has some great engineering drawings which explain the various part of the Walker wheel, so be sure to check out their posts on the casting machine. Remember to check back on Wednesday, when we’ll visit the Warehouse, the last place cast copper traveled before being shipped out for use elsewhere!

Slab-Fab-Studio has been at it again!
This time it is in a charming 1920’s-30’s cottage in West Asheville, NC.
Our client Anne Dupree Rodgers is an out doorsy type and avid kayaker.
With her fondness for the river, we wanted AD’s concrete counters to have a earthy, organic, river stone kind of feel.
We (Jim Ojamaa and I ) made up some concrete samples, trying to pick up a twinge of walnut color of AD’s newly refinished dark walnut floor.
We lightly honed all the concrete countertop slab surfaces with a 400 grit diamond pad, by hand, to bring out some delicate sand texture.
This makes the slabs feel more smooth stone like, as if they were honed by thousands of years of the river lapping at them.

Slab-Fab-Studio also installed the subway tile back splashes to compliment the concrete counters.
Anne Dupree chose a matte antique subway tile to integrate the antique charm of her house back into her stainless appliances, concrete counters, and undermount stainless sink.
Anne Dupree had Shane Martin, our local Asheville cabinet maker wunderkind, create her cabinetry.
She chose a simple shaker design, and had Shane paint them with a mildly antique off white acrylic lacquer.
It is great to have a fantastic start to a kitchen project, like Shane’s excellent cabinetry work, to help make Slab-Fab-Studio’s concrete counters look even better!

Casting In New York Part 1:

Casting In New York Part 2:

Today will be a bit of some down time for me.  I have real life to tend to today.  I will also be writing a few blog posts and attending a few parties this evening.  So, modeling has the day off!  Hurray!

Everyone needs to take a break and refresh, relax and recharge!

By the way, I was notified that I was successful with my casting last night and am invited back to the My Precious modeling group.

“I think mystery is kind of great. I don’t know anything about Bette Davis or Katharine Hepburn or Ava Gardner — not really — and I like that. I love watching their movies because they’re my personal movie stars. I don’t know what they eat and who their trainer is.”

No clue where this came from; sometimes I just right-click and save things and make no effort to credit them. Super-sorry!

“Most of the time we do nothing, myself included, … I think the lesson I learned from [playing humanitarian Tessa in The Constant Gardner] is that a lot of drops make up an ocean. If people would stand up and say what they believe in maybe we can make a difference. Helping one person is better than nothing. Just do something.”

Still from The Shape of Things

“There’s not much room for eccentricity in Hollywood, and eccentricity is what’s sexy in people.”

I have heard rumors she is one of the actresses who has been approached to play Catwoman in the next Batman movie, but I’ve also heard Chris Nolan quoted saying that Catwoman isn’t going to be in it. It doesn’t matter, because that would be lame anyways. She should not be Catwoman, regardless of whether Selina Kyle pops up in the next movie (a direction which would actually disappoint me).

What Rachel Weisz should do in the new Batman movies is play Talia, the daughter of Rā’s al Ghūl and love of Bruce Wayne’s life. Helloooo, she would be perfect! Talia seriously needs to once and for all get in the mainstream big screen storylines, especially considering how great the new movies Chris Nolan’s been making are: in the comics she even has Batman’s kid, for god’s sake (Damian Wayne, who is the current Robin). It’s already been set up, when, in the novelized Batman Begins, Rā’s al Ghūl refers to having a wife and daughter while he is talking to Bruce.

So, come on. Let’s finally get her in a movie, and let’s have Rachel Weisz play her. The woman is a stranger to neither action pictures (The Mummy franchise) nor comic book movies (the wildly underrated Constantine). That’s my awesome suggestion: obey!

On the weekend of Twilight New Moon’s first weekend in US cinemas, the next generation of Americans are having a love affair at the movies with their Native American Indian actors of contemporary American Cinema. Awesome to see.

Anne Hathaway Up for 'Spider-Man 4' Role?

at Deadline Hollywood reports through her sources (who, when it comes to Marvel, seem to be pretty reliable) that producers have “approached” Anne Hathaway regarding a starring role in Spider-Man 4. It doesn’t say she’s been offered the role, or that she’s in negotiations to take on the role, only that she’s been approached.

Finke also wasn’t sure which role it would be, though all signs point to it being that of Black Cat — who, in the past couple weeks — has seen everyone from Julia Stiles to Rachel McAdams vying for a piece of that pus … Spidey pie. Hathaway definitely showed off her acrobatic side in last summer’s Get Smart, and certainly has enough of that hottie-yet-down-to-earth sex appeal to draw Mr. Parker into a web of problematic romantic entanglements. Personally, I still like Stiles for the role, but that’s me. The studio, however, probably figures they’ll get more butts in the seats with Hathaway. So we’ll see. Regardless, we’re getting close to an official announcement. Who do you want?

Robert Pattinson to Star With Uma Thurman in 'Bel Ami'

The rumor mill was buzzing earlier this month with news that Nicole Kidman was going to, once again, go for the younger guy and star opposite Robert Pattinson in the adaptation of Guy De Maupassant’s Bel Ami. While it turns out that Kidman isnot taking the project on, another famous blonde is. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Uma Thurman will star opposite Pattinson, and Kristin Scott Thomas has also joined the roster.

The film will star Pattinson as George Duroy, an aspiring journalist who finds his success by bedding many of Paris’ rich and powerful women. Thurman will play Mme Forestier, the married woman who sparks his ascension and later marries him, while Thomas comes into the picture as “a socialite who falls for Duroy, becoming clingy in the process.”

Now, much has been said, or argued, about Pattinson’s talents as an actor, and I’d say this will be the ultimate test — whether he can hold his own against Thurman and Thomas. Pattinson won’t be able to hide behind sparkles or quirky, mustachioed mannerisms this time around! Both have considerable talents, although Thurman in particular is long overdue for some meaty and buzz-worthy dramatic fare (it’s also about time she got into some retro wordy romance as well, a la Henry and June). The drama will shoot next year in Paris.

The Manhattan Monologue Slam attracted some entertainment influencers at Bennett Media Studio for the November show with “Spring Awakening” & “HAIR” Broadway producer Terry Schnuck in attendance and a surprise visit by muMs of HBO’s “Oz” fame (Poet).

Terry Schnuck is an MMSlam regular and producing partner of the show and is in town nurturing the development of new Broadway shows. MuMs got wind of the Slam early last week and joined the judging panel, adding his unique perspective to the event. MuMs is in town working on a script at the Labyrinth Theater alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Also on the panel this month were Sara Conte of Central Casting (Gossip Girl), Susan Batson coach to the stars (Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx) and Joe Trentacosta (Springer Associates Public Relations). The surprise performer was 5 time MMSlam Champ, 2 time MMSlam National Champ Allison Findlater. She performed a piece from her one woman show “Wild Thing” written by Sapphire. Also the actors who are in the major motion picture “2012″, Alex and Phillipe Haussmann, were in the house sharing stories of their “Red Carpet” experience in Hollywood last month.
