Panipitha-bonding the spout

ByKoen van Velzen 06-06-201012-02-2026

Of the large granite panipitha all parts are ready now. Because the granite that I had lying around was too small to carve it out 1 of one piece, I had to make the spout from a separate part and bond that perfectly with the rest. It is glued with strong epoxy glue , supported by 3 thick stainless steel wire ends of 2 cms thick. Finally also the ugly glue seam had to be neatly finished and the shapes made to match.

    Artificial aging with lichen

    In September 2015 I have already written a message with a piece about the artificial aging of concrete, stone and the like with a moss recipe. Apparently it doesn't work all that well. The moss dries out quickly, and the photo that I linked to was rigged: someone had cut out some moss and pasted it on a wall,…

    Finishing and Detailing

    After a period of vacation I carried on with carving the coat of arms relief. Detailing often takes twice as long as the initial carving process, and this one is no exception. I started with the 'right hand’ griffin (that means officially the left-hand one, because it is seen from the bearer of the weapon…

    Disassembling tuffstone with a concrete chainsaw
