How To Make Asteroids, Part One

Step One: Mark your green carving wax with a scribe.

Step Two: Saw apart your wax block into little 2 x 2 x 3 cm blocks in your very cold garage.

Step Three: Saw off the corners of each block.

Step Four: Take your wax file and shave the blocks into an asteroid like shape.

Step Five: Take your carving tool and smooth out the file strokes with your favorite carving tool.


Step Six: Dremel the blocky asteroid into better shape and texture with a ball bur in a questionable set up in your much warmer basement.

Coming up in part two of asteroid making: drilling, cutting in half, hollowing out and making it fit together again temporarily!
