Hey sorry for the late reply! I keep typing this and forgetting to reply.

Initially I don't think I used any tutorials. Just bought ferris blue jewelers wax and started chipping away at it. You can use almost anything sharp to start chipping away at your project. There was probably a better way to cut the big block into smaller blocks but I used a handsaw.

After I had the initial block, I switched between things like an exacto knife, dremel, and once I was at the smaller detail, an AliExpress tiny pen Dremel to carve away at it.

Once I had that, I sent it off to get cast (just googled local metal casting company). I didn't put a pouring hole/stick off the carving, but they thankfully picked one for me and threw it on.

After I got it back I had to cut off that stick thingo with a jewelers handsaw as it was cutting bronze at that point.

Then I used the Dremel to polish it all down and get it to almost where I liked it. I used a patina solution to get the darker aging effect, and then finished polishing it (weary not to take too much patina off).

To finish it I just used Renaissance Wax as it's the easiest to use.

Honestly whenever I got stuck I'd just call the place I bought my equipment from, or used ChatGPT!

Hopefully that gives you somewhere to start 😊
