This is a Ming period large plate. It has a couple of areas I am working on to repair in traditional kintsugi.
One of the areas has had a fitted wood insert put in. Whoever put it in didn’t pay attention to the fluting on the outer edge of the rim. The video shows the first couple of steps of defining the edge, making a form, transition at 3 minutes, 12 seconds, and then cutting the wood insert, transition at 7 minutes, 19 seconds.
Video, Traditional kintsugi, step 8, sanding middle lacquer
This video has no audio. It shows step 8, referred to on this page, https://zac.wnz.mybluehost.me/website_a640e8d6/?page_id=80 sanding of middle black. I applied basic lacquer so I am actually sanding basic but it is in the middle lacquer position, i.e., over sabi, part of the shaping steps.
Current traditional kintsugi project, Edo suribachi
Here is a project I am working on. It is an Edo period Shino Oribe suribachi, a mortar. It has been glued back together after a fairly clean break in two. Who ever glued it used a rubberized glue so it is possible to remove the glue, slow but possible.
Ming period plate, kintsugi repair
Here is the plate in mid repair. I have applied basic lacquer a couple of times along with sabi.
Kintsugi, 2 new pieces.
Here are 2 pieces I just finished.
Kintsugi, more disassembling
Here are some more pieces I disassembled and one I couldn’t get apart. One of the pieces is a Ming period celadon, 45cm. diameter plate with an interesting wood repair piece. The piece I couldn’t get apart is the Oribe suribachi. I tried twice applying heat to it for a total of 30 minutes but I guess the walls are so thick that the epoxy doesn’t weaken easily.
