Belt Buckle for a Horse's Face => 4 photos

This is a short essay, but rather interesting. Have you ever seen how wax buckles are created?

 To begin this essay, we must have a hole for the belt buckle, agree? But how is the hole made in the first place? 

 When the wax is injected into the rubber mould, the wax circulates around this very important PIN. Without this pin, the belt buckle won't be created. 

 If you think of drilling a hole yourself, forget it, as it can become a real messy process. Sometimes DRILLING of the hole won't be in a straight line. Furthermore, the hole must be 100% uniform in its thickness.

 

  Removing this thick pin can be quite a slow process. Remember, there is a large amount of wax sticking to the pin. When I removed this pin, I held the wax form firmly and SLOWLY TWISTED THE PIN.

 Twisting the pin is the only solution, and successfully not breaking the wax PIN SHAFT in the process.

  On the reverse side of the 'face', you can apply a sprue for new casting alternatives.

 WHEN YOU INJECT YOUR WAX, PLEASE KEEP THE LONG PIN IN THE MOLD.

               Wasn't this an interesting idea for creating a belt buckle?
