Manufacturing process.
To begin with, the author fixes the glass in the chuck of a miniature lathe, and winds the thread on the middle of the leg, and moistens it with gasoline.
Then it sets fire to the wound thread. But in the case of a crystal glass, this technique does not work. Glass does not crack along the line, but crumbles into small sections.
Then he turns on the machine, makes an incision with a diamond cutter, and simply breaks the leg into two parts.
This is followed by an important stage of leveling and grinding chips. The author limited himself to polishing. In order to get a perfect, and inconspicuous joint, it should be polished to a glossy surface.
Now the master needs to make device for folding a nail into a spiral. To do this, he drills a hole in the steel bar along the diameter of the nail.
A steel bar clamps in the lathe chuck and bends it. Excess nail is cut off.
The next nail will already be used in the product. It must be bent in one go. He warms it well with a gas burner, and twists it.
After these procedures, it immediately cools it in water.
Then it removes the scale with a metal brush using a small machine.
And polishes the nail with GOI paste.
Now degreases the surface with gasoline, puts a drop of UV glue on the lower part of the legs, and puts on a nail. You can put on a few nuts, or even make a steel leg. Here it is all a matter of your imagination.
Sets and aligns the upper part of the glass, fixes with a piece of paper.
Then the joint is irradiated with ultraviolet lamps for 10 minutes. This is enough to polymerize the glue.If you look closely, then the joint is still noticeable, it was necessary to polish it.
That's all, the original souvenir is ready. With a little training, no one will guess how it was done. Surprise you with your friends and acquaintances with a similar gift!
