Boiler RoomがKKR傘下のイベンターに売却したこと、批判が集まったことで親パレスチナ団体へ寄付を申し出たが断られたことなど。

事態がイスラエルの虐殺に絡んでおり取り上げられているが、しかし一方で、 #DOMMUNE で毎年9月に配信する TDMW にもアートウォッシング臭は感じていて、だから今年は1週間丸々みなかった。
>Boiler Roomは、2025年1月、世界各地の大規模な有名フェスを運営する会社であるSuperstructに買収されました。そのSuperstructを所有しているKKRという会社は、イスラエルのジェノサイドを含む違法入植や、軍需産業・環境破壊・先住民の権利侵害に加担する資本であり、Boiler Roomは、現在その会社と構造的に結びついています

Gold is so insanely expensive rn. Shown is ~52grams of 18k gold being alloyed and made into wire. The intrinsic value of the gold is $4173.

If I purchased 18K gold wire instead of making it, it would have been an additional $1000 in processing charges.

Siraya Tech Defiant 25 (1:1) is my new favorite molding silicone. I used to use Sorta-Clear 37 (1:1) and sometimes Sorta-Clear 18 (10:1)

It is thinner, trapping less bubbles (I still vacuum after mixing) and cheaper. Durability is TBD.

TDMW* you realize you genuinely believe "no one will ever really be attracted to or interested in me for myself, so I'll just have to be useful and hope they deign to pretend for a bit so I can feel wanted and get some semblance of intimacy and love"

Prototype flask base (right)

Vacuum casting when using an electro-melt furnace is a challenge with small flasks b/c the pouring area is so small.

Trying to make an improved wider funnel base unless someone knows where do buy something like this commercially?

New small studio solution: I now have my rolling mills on wooden skids w/ felt bottoms that slide into place and are bolted down to the bench. Both slide into corner when not in use. Hopefully next studio will have more space.

Made this little sabot charm yesterday with the conflagrated idea of the French Resistance and the origin of the word "sabotage".

I fear the US is sliding into fascism and acts of resistance small and large will be necessary to stop it.

My "chain library".

When I make a chain for a specific piece I will look at my previous samples and make more as necessary until I know what shape wire, what thickness, what size mandrel to form it around, orientation (e.g. half-round wire in or out).

Replaced prototype with soldered circuit in my self-built kiln controller based on this project: github.com/jbruce12000/...

It was a hassle getting set up, but I love having a web-based kiln controller.

Vase with forever flowers of brass.

The vase is after another metalsmith's work, but I have no idea who it was-- something I saw online years ago on tumblr.

Mine has two lids, one with a large single opening and one with a grid of small openings.

I facetiously worried that men would not know whose ideas to ignore without the tie as a signifier.

I made these so men could still know whose ideas should not be ignored and gave them to women coworkers.

Toy surprise ring.

14k gold. Split comfort fit shank.

Idea was making a cracker-jack box type prize but in nice materials.

The vending machine capsule and confetti are as presented to owner. The close up is after she'd been wearing it for a while.

Silver refining: Cementation

Now I've added a pure copper bar to the solution. The silver falls out of solution and the copper bar dissolves into the solution. That's ~98-99% pure silver crystals sloughing off the copper bar at the beginning.

Silver Refining:

Continuing from a previous post, this is the filtered result of dissolving 300grams scrap sterling silver in nitric acid.

Strange to see a clear blue fluid that is holding ~280grams (1/2 lb) of pure silver.

At the end I'll make a little video of the steps.
