The production process of Stone Garden Statues usually includes the following steps:
1. Design and make models: First, according to the theme and requirements of the
stone sculpture, the designer will make a small model or
Stone Sculpture prototype. This can be done through hand sculpting, 3D printing or other model making techniques.
2. Make copper plates: Make copper plates according to the model. Usually pure copper or copper alloy plates are used. Copper plates can be processed through cutting, bending, welding and other processes to form various parts of the stone sculpture.
3. Forging and hammering: Use hammers and other forging tools to gradually forge the copper plate into the shape of the stone sculpture. This process requires an experienced coppersmith to master the strength and angles to ensure the detail and proportion of the
stone carving.
4. Welding and connection: During the forging process, different copper plate parts may need to be welded and connected to form a complete stone sculpture. Welding may use gas welding, electric welding or other suitable welding techniques.
5. Grinding and polishing: After completing forging and welding, the stone sculpture needs to be ground and polished to remove surface flaws and unevenness and make it smooth and bright.
6. Coloring and coating: According to the design requirements, the stone sculpture can be colored or coated to increase its visual effect and protect the surface.
7. Installation and fixation: Install and fix according to the size of the stone sculpture and the installation environment. This may involve fabricating and installing bases, brackets or other fixtures.
It should be noted that the production process of Stone Garden Statues requires experienced coppersmiths and professional tools and equipment. The production process of each stone sculpture may be different, and the specific steps and techniques will be adjusted according to the design requirements and production process.
