Cutting Finish

 

This is the same as using a bench lathe, but you can adjust the amount of pressure you need to apply to the work. Casting base - lathe cutting - potter's wheel finishing. The direction and speed of rotation on a potter's wheel, which is said to be the prototype of a lathe, is adjusted with your hands and feet, and the work is turned and cut in a way that suits the shape.

Color Adhesion

 

The color of the base metal is brought out from the surface, and then the lacquer is mixed with other colors and painted at a certain temperature. The oil on the metal surface is thoroughly removed, and the lacquer is used to maximize the characteristics of the metal. The lacquer coloring is done while considering the type of metal and the finished color.
