you're there. Oh speaking of the heat. Just a few days of summer left. Well here we have snow again. Hello that I'm Michael Jackson this is for radio and this awesome issue comes about. But again the spotlight on the Catholic Church somewhat friendly and some not so focused on major league sports like massive traffic jam of the H1 yesterday closed the A-bomb lanes the freeway at the start of the rush hour for about an hour. It's about 30 minutes before the 9 o'clock hour you're into the why video Casey thing was better but the radio airwaves of Hawaii carry dozens of messages from Hawaii about Hawaii.

Constitutional rights of the citizens of boy were suspended until a federal court granted made him come here and to one in a million. Nancy Wilson tonight on the Larry King show. Plus your phone calls all on this mutual radio station it is a medium that must choose its role colors like newspaper to mass media with a little something for everybody. Radio as a medium is a narrow casting medium and many segments and demographically That is why he has certain areas in the park elation the rock n rollers go a huge market and so on everybody picks a segment in the studios of Taiji. The role of news and information has become their specialty. That's from 3:00 to 4:00 this afternoon. Right now in studio we're going to discuss the great hall why the pesticide cover up. That's our topic. We're featuring retired

University of Hawaii scientist and biomedical researcher Jim said live in Hawaii there seems to be a greater need to hear the other side of the news and there is in most markets there is a greater element of. That's what they say happened but I want to know what really happened. And television news did not have time for that and nor do most of the media. If it weren't for the news media I think we would have been drinking up to car contaminated now through it and never really realized it. Looking back we found out that they have to pour was in and out for approximately a year before the first recall and we certainly know that for almost three months the health department knew about it. We try to provide a forum for the people who I to talk to the news maker and air their views. If you have a question or comment or your thoughts on the matter the phones are open give us a call at 9 2 6 8 2 5 5 That's 9 2 6 t a l k neighbor islands call us

collect. I bill money out you you're listening to information radio for Hawaii News Talk 76 K.G. you. Let's take some calls Gloria's calling in from our good afternoon. OK Joos news and information is directed at those people that are more involved in their community than than others perhaps. I think it's very emotional. There are people like during the the beach people episode where we had people on the air that have never had a chance to tell their side of the issue before and they get very emotional. Freedom of Speech is a lie as far as they're concerned because you have to get on the air and same with They've never had a chance to say before. All right Gloria thank you very much. Jenny Page again if you like to take their comments had been edited out of her evening news reporter I've been quoted out of context a newspaper but this is their one chance going on and say what they have to say and without interruption without any of her allies and that's very important. If you'd like to participate this afternoon plenty of lines open 9 2

6 8 2 5 5 the number to call that's 9 to 6. T A L K. Let's go to our newsroom now for an update on what's happening locally with A.V. air I'm going money Archie This is always news source News Talk 76 KGO news are many of your Democratic city councilwoman Betsy meet Coach K G you is the only local radio station with a federally sanctioned emergency broadcast system. When power is lost on a wahoo due to a hurricane or other phenomena DGU is unable to give emergency warning procedures from this bunker at the base of their broadcast tower. You is also the oldest radio station in Hawaii who Radio is a part of people's lives. It's like a weather report it's like a time service is part of what everybody accepts as their routine. The Jews been here for 63 years. It's part of what everybody grew up with. How come a rear admiral is in the restaurant business the entertainment

director Charles tag and he often takes listeners years back with an a Celtic radio program on classic radio time that's managed. I play something they call of they say oh I haven't heard that in years. You know it's been 30 40 years since I heard that voice. And it brings back memories and that's what we're trying to do. Another one of KGB symbols of continuity is a local authority on what you're gonna see here with this crown jewel record. Now there's a word that I've always trusted the word authority whenever I've seen it in print or never refer to someone in the authority position. I've never seen myself. I've always seen myself as a student. How much always willing to learn. Always willing to be corrected but it seems in the short year that I've been in radio has been left to weave. Trust of a number of people that depend on us to give news quickly to pronounce our Hawaiian words

correctly and to put history in it's all perspective. I also appreciate our coupon up or drop a person that I trust you calling you that our good friend parents are good people and you know Stevens and he asked these people take our parents our mothers are you know that that's important and hard right on that they were listening they were finally talking again finally impressing on us the importance of this generation getting it right and doing it correctly for the next generation to come. Mohamed it's nice to see you here again today I think and this is Cosell. He's nice to me. Yeah well he won't talk but we have these voices were done I have managed to bring so many people to radio and I rarely his voice today. When asked why he went into the radio business Billy replied. I think it was probably a lack of vitamin C.

And for that reason I I had to go I knew that they would drop a lot of orange peels in the floor of the studio and I was just looking to get in on the ground floor and not lose my teeth in the process. Billy sage once worked as a comedy writer for the most eminent radio personality in Hawaii. You know yourself who was my mentor really. This week seriously he was a little bit more liberal with his sprinkling of Anglo-Saxon isms off the air than he was on I guess this is sort of a hallmark of one of the to watch his mouth on the air for so many mornings but aside from his rather peppery phrasing he was a very very wise individual. And he said he gave to me the secret of good broadcasting and maintaining ratings. This is Aqua's main secret. And it might not sound like much but we think about it. It's eloquent it's simple and for him it worked. I don't know if it's ever worked for anybody else maybe you have to be able to carry it off but he said only you know my secret is people off. I was right I just often enough other people listening I have guys call me up every morning saying I never listen to your show again.

And the same radicals represent the same thing the next thing over and over again. What are you even talking not seen on the night tonight will you go. I kind of like I wish I could look at my down. Unfortunately everything is fast but things we try to avoid. Did it look like you see in the studios of KC CM Honolulu's Hawaiian music radio station bare feet are not uncommon in Hawaii and all Hawaiian music format is unusual. We are the only one in their world it is that it's a unique position that we have the case you see in manager Ronnie hole knows her audience.

We have always been strong men stationed we have a large visitor audience opening up the day at KC CM is their morning team brother brother because although we look interesting to send them off it works and uncle uncle will hear giving his listeners a highly scientific whether it's good night. That's the track record that S.A. with enough money you can buy. Uncle is otherwise known as Bill Upton and brother is James Grant Benton. First day really I just turned it on it and I just could give the call it airs and then turn it off and I just said wow what did I get myself into. Oh yeah. That actually was kind of scary at first turned it on it was like I didn't know what I was talking to and saw the microphone definitely

intimidated me. And from time to time it still does. Our theater of the mind. You know you have to I have to at least sort of try to picture myself sitting in a car. Early morning at home brushing your teeth waking up rolling out of bed and going to work today and stuff and I have to be up so I have to picture myself and put myself in their place. It's very personal. You know people could be in the bathroom with the radio you know right in there with them in hooked up. Oh there's my song as Melvin Lee then While Kenny anywhere in case he's in about 10 minutes away from the 9 o'clock hour and we're going to go into the news and Missy what's happening now with Uncle Phil and the new demo Stay with us because the nights are mostly spontaneous improvisation. I like to be on the edge like that's why I like to I don't

take life phone calls I don't like pre-planned stuff I like to just jump in the water is cold right before coming to Casey CNN. Uncle Phil Upton's spent many years in the Navy working for the Armed Forces Radio and TV. The last assignment to was kind of interesting and because it was as the head cheese of radio and TV in Saigon just before we pulled out of that one event after Keith did you hear about the teachers in the topic but I know you can hear a lot of the talking. Like Clinton it was a little town there and they have 23 teachers there all in the slammer. We're probably about the most unproduced more you can think of anything we produce really is the coffee and then we kind of wing it from there. They're on

strike but they're a kick against the kids. Morning comes early for Brother James Grant Benton he was a night club comedian for years with Booga booga. It took about nine months for me to adjust was a whole switch yes to be friends and everything. Practically it's a commitment that's why to do morning radio. You see I get I'm OK I know you're already ready you're ready money on all these like a lot of forbearance more happening than the first day but if you're looking for. There if you're having it now. Around with your TV. Yes. Twenty thirty three point ninety Diamondhead and I want all I want to be the Grange. Why do I not know I think that is my heart. What you heard out of the country thank their lifeline our laughter but when the northeasterly today that did not you know every morning brother and uncle began their morning teamwork almost by accident. We started to do the

news in the usual manner like here is the news good morning. And he had his mike on and sort of going to question something that said Right and we started to read and we've been doing it that way ever since even though it's too cool. OK. You're going in the back there for a whole nation of little boys of noodles right now walking the Skylark is a midmorning favorite among the listeners. I still don't even realize the audience impact that we have. I still feel like I'm talking to my friends with this feel for music of the few you know if you could talk to one person then you can talk to your 65000 listeners every day. Radio is different. It changes so often your mood depends upon what you project on the air how you

perceive a phone call and take a request. It changes your whole spirit. You make what you want to out of radio. One of the fringe benefits of those in Hawaii and radio is the food the friends bring by gives the feel of family to KCC that's wonderful for those of you listening on the radio I feel an extension of real real what you know I think what any local family experiences. We try to project on the air but a skylark remembers breaking into radio was not easy for a female. What is this female doing on the air. You how Lee why you sounded so homely give you time to look at her. I don't know. Over the years now they say you have one of the most beautiful voices in Hawaii. It's very I'm the same person 12 years ago told me get off the air.

Although there's always been female just John he said when he was in some way to find a marksman I mean I'm a shadow Stevens having been raised on Hawaiian music Skylark sees Hawaii and radio as an integral part of local culture the music of Harvey has always been the thread that is tied and bounded have to its land its culture and its people. Hawaiian radio has played an important part in that and keeping its musical life record tarea follow Skylark and the PCC online. Oh yea and welcome this the afternoon club. There you're almost until 7:00 tonight. Keep it right here we've got the finest Island Music Entertainment joins us in about oh it's the value of the world and it's almost the start of a low week 1985 that's going into the festive mood and all kinds of all issues can be sharing with everybody.

So kick back and relax and welcome the station off KCCI recording artist Audie ki morrow was a special guest on records afternoon club as well as Dave Lancaster who served as Casey Sheehan's host for their live Monday night concerts which came first audiobook on the big question. Write to each other your award winning song Your body is already the song was previewed at about 1 3 you 1:45 in

the morning on the biggest. Michael I thought I heard other cases you got the 5 0 4 male vocalist of the year and we have Eve for the whole go off on a mobile because that was 80 so I want to hold it in 84 when you acknowledge the man will win out but what do you want to go right. Hey come on I said on the radio I said Yeah come on. While Rick would know all this already on them. Yeah yeah at least we figured out a song but I'm just going to sing a chorus Well you're kidding. That sounds good. More of this to get a lot of hits this is a song that I am there to sing that's what this is the song that made me give up my rock n roll number I used to be you know I used to be you reckon I'd met you Dr. guitar we had reverb and I used to play strictly rock n roll beats are basically all Eric Clapton Jefferson Airplane Blue Cheer oh yeah usually a lot of cream too but I hardly recognize you know yeah yeah yeah you got that I was you know I'm such a young guy that's what he was you know how old are you going to think you're going to say oh my

I'm just special for you Audie. It was the rare Magnussen live and studio concerts on the rise and all in radio's popularity among one of the morning to the runway where the number two AM station in the line once again as we were in the last training period there behind the giant K 59 cases k this morning. This is Hawaii's number one radio station. It's very a left hand price on the right. The team of Larry price and Michael W. Perry composed the highest rated morning radio program in Homer's the morning TV has to set the set the pace that's when you have the most listeners. And it's when people are the most receptive

to talk on the radio. We don't put more effort at the beginning of the show or the end of the show or during the peak period of the show which is between say like six and not eight. We put just as much effort between 9 and 10. We just give it all all of the trigger people are going to be listening for about 20 minutes. So it takes a certain kind of psychological energy to do that. Anything that you have to get up for 3:30 in the morning becomes a very important part of your life. I think Colombian we put together a sort of a general outline for the day knowing that that old line may be strong. And in the first hour or two before that would drive me crazy morning absolutely great when I heard in the station of what he's going through. Damn them operating them and when to call a war show with Mars like and try to get through but I hear messages all emergency room recall many

of the remote didn't have either Jack Lord or a Playboy bunny or from another somebody boring like the FBI agent comes to read a little sports. Since I'm not sure we got along with OK Paul Simon loves you like a rock for most time is about two minutes to nine o'clock telephones ringin Hi there this is Larry Grayson MICHAEL CAREY just Services this kid 59 is general manager Earl McDaniel is responsible for the creation of this morning team he explained. We had a guy just jacking indicted for 18 years and when he died he was the end of an era and we did a great deal of research and we determined that whomever we put in that show everybody would hate because they love Doctor Who so much so we decided to put

two people there so they could hate one and love the other four minutes to ten o'clock next Thank you Tommy ask you for something really delicious to eat. China takes off far more big. There I said it to each of the six cylinder. Thank you know your it but the opposite happened they turned out loving both of them. When two people get together like Mike and I are all completely different in a lot of respects. As far as background location education when we get together we do from a third person that neither one of us are really all well. First games are rough with your friends they know because I'm a Dick Clark couldn't crack anybody's best LOL. This guy's a macho dude. This is the sort of Much Ado used to be what you used to be a lot of things. What's your guess with Romo Daniels is the one that deals with that third person every day. Everybody has to have

somebody look up to put a telephone call on the air yesterday. A lady was complaining about something in the school system and Michael Duffy very sore why are you calling me to the my friends so that anybody could do anything about it you could. And that's the kind of oppression they have with the audience in a worse kind of it's kind of frightening as a matter of fact they seem to know what each other is thinking and doing and a little worried about her too will take for first take your cell phone number three will take four first thank you. Good morning. I actually love that point you're in the right Drew good morning. Yeah I know that yeah yeah yeah yeah right. Well did you say Brian Wilson got any money yet. Let's find out. I'll never get 3 percent you know I kind of space he sounded right and that was definitely did it go away. How would you like to go to the liberals tried to love God right which you can and can't afford. What funny stuff point by some of the hyperventilating defector you have after high pressure actually running for office to get you all done to make sure that all happens

ratings are very consistent on this radio station we've been number one for 18 years. And it but it's a battle every day. You go out and you might lose today much of it went to tomorrow and maybe one of the most popular features of the price Perry show is their Saturday morning program and Champ Oh yes here they broadcast to their largest radio audience of the week. You know what they want to do that let me know what you think of them going to have a very exciting dynamic and sings well yes. Oh I think sham poses something really unique because we go down there it's three hours someone scripted an ad lib radio lie and is a model. Lot of room for error and it does add a different dimension to radio because it gives you a kind of feedback it's one of the few times in radio where you can actually see the people that you talking to. And then you see the consequents special guest loyal Garner who's on hand to provide a patriotic hymn.

An evaluation meeting is held after every show. You know they may believe that the van's doors or windows means something serious. Well it's the morning hours. Well fire your last show I may have been OK. You got I know you got to go do a TV show today Mike. Just three things to go very bad

burger again you know the Burger King knows they want MC for their Christmas party with the Rastogi December 7th of December the 14th. We're all in tears we're going to take a vote on this. OK well you guys cost me fifty two thousand dollars this morning. You got this new spot in the house of music would you get a dance award too. Did you do that for a nerd like society with $52000 sponsor I can't imagine that one of the worst worst actions of all time I think. Come on you guys give me a break. We really do that. I hey I got I got the tape coming the lawyers will be on the way and I have far you know this legislature is going to go into session. I did my make up the other night. That's all true but it was the best voice for describing hurricanes this year ever given us a word. You know he's not a sponsor.

The other day I stuck the car key in the front door by mistake. The House stalled so I got some jumper cables. Try to get it started. Drove it around for a while. Cop stuff. They asked where I live I said right here. Parked on the freeway and told everybody to get out of my driveway. The comedy is a disease and luckily it's incurable. You start getting a case of the hovering HA's around friends and it spreads. Sometimes you get the snarky snacking giggles and you can't stop that's good and you want me to sell some super stupidity. Yes sir I'm your boy right here and I was directed here my friend. Do you buy this product it's invisible. I'll sell it to you for free but I get the job let me know. The I

the you know the Spectrum was funded in part by grants from the people of Chevron in Hawaii and the Hawaii State foundation on culture and the arts. The following program is a production of kiddie HDTV in one of the low hopefully

public television. The following program has been funded in part by grants from the Hawaii State foundation on culture and the arts and the people who Chevron in Hawaii are. Today on spectrum. The architecture the instrumental music and the folk dances of Hawaii is Korean culture are featured. As well as a look at what is deep sea jewel. But first we retreat to a serene garden that is populated with bone Sadri. One side. A Japanese tradition.

One Saturday our miniature trees grown in pots or trays. The word inside means grown from a tray. I. Originated in China. And subsequently developed in Japan. The first specimens of trees dwarfed by nature were collected by the Japanese in the 13th century. From then on they had been cultivated by man. In Hawaii the most highly respected cultivator of bonsai trees is. In his backyard garden on St. Louis heights. Papa as he is known in the bonsai

fraternity attends to his plants and trees. Former restaurant catering manager 78 year old growing and shaping bones for over 40 years. His collection of bone sizes so large that he must work on his trees every day which in his retirement he is free to do. One of the objects in one's eye is to train the tree. Flexible copper wire is called around branches to direct their growth. Branches a train to reach for open space not towards each other.

In reporting a bonsai the roots deserve special attention when transferred to a shallow display tray. Soil is lost and the roots are temporarily and dangerous. But. With experienced hand. The tree will die. Bone cycles of it are also seeks to create a new age. Look for history. It will expose the upper branches for a while in order to create a weathered look. This helps to give the illusion that a bone side tree once grew out over a cliff or on a mountaintop.

Their beauty is evident. Yet their living. Require more than just appreciation. I don't know because. I know. I'm friend the guy who'll buy. Good enough when you know what I mean you don't know how but the. Trees may be very tiny. Or quite familiar. Such as this bamboo tree. On rare occasion. A bonsai forest maybe attempt. Subtotal cunto. A distinguished Japanese visitor created this miniature Banyan forest for the Hawaii bonsai so she ish. Public on the show realizes how fragile bone side trees can be.

Water is vital. To the bonsai tree is not watered daily. It will suffer permanent damage. Training a treat and gracefulness. Can give happiness. It can allow one to bring nature to the table. By imitating nature. The bones I cultivate are hopes to stimulate old thoughts. Have forgotten. He wants his trees to look as they would in the wild. Public on a shero treats himself to a walk through his garden every day. And in it there are living things to tend to. A process to watch. A mystery to revere. Good morning. Korea. Filled background for

this gem of a country inhabited by noble people. The setting for the jam was the fanatics in the. Rugged mountains around the five China Russia and Japan. The century. Korea has been considered a conduit of religious thought cultural development and even invading army. Koreans of course are in the course of history and you see the great you know influence from China. Many say this and of course Korea less willing to accept when they suit its two Korean traditions and their native culture and reject the voice that they are not suited to them. And also another video important for that Korea had played historian got us to transmit the highest realization I think existed in China to Japan playing sort of a breach in the

transmissions card you have chosen well from the transmission and you think yeah. Their language is a remarkably unique. As with other ethnic groups the Koreans first contact with Hawaii was in the fields of the sugar plantation. The Hoyas sugar plantation Association here in Hawaii had been charged with the labor force be one applies by the Japanese the Chinese had been prohibited from coming into a hole into United States because of the Chinese Exclusion Act. So the tastes he was looking for alternative gave us sources and they found the Korea as a convenient supplier of the labor force to high and starting from one thousand or three after the first group of creativity

of 103 even and women arrived another Hava on January 13th one thousand or three. And the neighbors continue to come through on teaching me the part of a 19 or 5. Then Korean government was forced to opinionate any additional behavior as to why. Largely because of the pressure exerted by the Japanese government. When emigration from Korea ended in 105 eight thousand Koreans made Howie home as soon as the Koreans found the opportunity they left the field for the cities and small businesses. I remember one lady who told me that they out there they opened the shop. One thing they did was pretty Monday morning. Rather they had the business on not forcing the heat she did that he opened she opened it on the shop. She struck down the

cash register and picked up one and went to a bank and deposited it. Pretty weak whether she made money or not. The money accumulated in this way they used to buy apartment house or to run. The boarding house. Although unity is going on. There are you know examples of its cultural contribution. On the east west campus I've been all about the Center for Korean Studies. The building itself demonstrate the Koreans of color by using the royal tones of the dynasty. The structure is patterned after a 14th century palace and so. In 1974 Korean craftsmen came to Hawaii to build the building which

by lattice were a deep green glazed tiled roof and beautifully painted on the mentation. Expressions of culture may not be as visible. But when discovered they are to be like no other music. For instance. In Korea. This is come the song was named a national treasure. For her contributions a player and composer for the chi in. 1974 she moved to Hawaii with her daughter and now lives in Honolulu.

I'm done. Before her generation. They just see the follows. They didn't think of it or compose anything else just carry whatever teacher teach them and they played all their life. For her kids was different. And she had a talent there. She want to compose music out of her teachers. She made her. Early beginning at the age of seven. Somebody who. Lived next to her. The person who played the music. And. Asked her father. If you could have you know so I guess. You're. Going to say. No. For me and music is based on. The trip when you know. The rhythm of

30. I go one for 30 temple or rhythm. Whereas the Japanese or Chinese music based on par drop or rhythm. Rhythm or fall. That is really a big difference. More true the more sort of a stand sound part of. Korean music emphasize more on the on part of their natural sound of the instrument and the voice. You're like or for the manufacturing that you know there's a great instrument. You don't have to. Spend energy through the instrument to cry to produce the crying sound. Because they're really. Sound. Really. Report quality of the Korean music. It has been said that dad's actually originated in Korea and then

migrated to China and Japan. Whether or not the folk dances begin with the religious ceremony. 3000 years ago. A brief introduction and still can be found in villages. That are. Less. Formal. Our. Music. Especially the music because it careering traditional really reflect the past. There were just a background and. Ethics. Of Korea. That expression is not open to the for restraining. Patients and restrained expression This whole body of work will

express. That. Harry and Dan can be found at. Present in Korea connected with their. Americanized society. To get around the history of your ancestors. In my case which is Korean although I've been living here for 12 years keeping in touch. And learning. The society the culture and the Korean culture. My mother from Korea and she grew up in a country where I have. Learned to grow up and that I must miss something that happened because she taught me how in the strict discipline society. And. In America you can't really learn.

By just going to school. So you know so I take dance to understand whether it's gone through when she was young. And just. Ship. Dance. So. They're much. Different. I practice. Every day. Just rest. It Here is just the everyday. Dance.

Specially for tourists from Europe. I heard. It was the first time they have been down and how much they enjoyed it. I'm sure others. About. Something that they have never. Been. The. Greeks were well aware that

the skeleton of the Koran and the letters that the part that you make the jury out of. That survives the animal. And absence to the Greeks call represented immortality it was a symbol of immortality. And perhaps that's why we today value it so nice not just because it's lovely. But it's something of lasting value something that on the fact outlive us. Dr. Richard Greg is recognized as the world's leading authority on the ecology of precious coral. People often wonder what is coral. I am very surprised to discover that as an animal. And not a plant it looks like a bad because it grows in the shape of a tree but it's actually. It belongs to find somewhere along with jellyfish. And the hydra. Softcore other RNA later than a sound like. Coral generally are divided into two major classes the reef corals and shallow

water which are very porous. And therefore not God's will for Julie. And then the deep water some of which are very hard and can be polished into jewelry and these included Blackwell's and coral those bamboo corals gold corals and different families of other phylum but all anatomically related. One reason precious girls are precious. So valuable is because they're very dangerous to harvest. There's inherent dangers in diving whether you're in a submarine or scuba diving for example off now a where you got very strong bottom currents and. A black coral beds or depths of say a hundred fifty to three hundred. And fifty feet. Diving under those conditions is just really on the edge. Of course today oh so those who are concerned about the conservation of the resource grid develop models mathematical models to estimate how much coral that can be taken out of the bed

and one of the first companies to actually utilize that technology was Maui divers here in Hawaii. They've developed a submersible to go down and allow one to selectively harvest the coral. But then fact harvested it in such a way that it was selective and they only took a small percent so as to allow for cover your bets. Now your iris is probably. The finest. Designed. Merchandise in the world. There are some companies in Italy that rival. By virtue of the way they go in the design and historical artistry goes into it but right now divers have what they call a designer line which is a very one of a kind fine line you see during our line of jewelry. So it's extremely high grade high quality material.

Cliff Slater is president of Maui divers of Hawaii limited. He oversees the design and manufacture of one of the world's largest producers of coral jewelry. We're here in our design department this is where the process really begins in what. We have here. Just just samples of the art. This is a gold colored free. For all material from which we start as is here a. Thing called free. And we take. This material. And. Together with. Gold nuggets. Here's some. 14 karat gold. And. We put these together. And finished off. With a. Gold. Karl and diamond ring. And that. Process really begins here in the design department. With the original design and with the production of the first model. In the

model. The original design is. Is where the process really begins. The culmination of the designer's work. Is with the production of the finished model very precisely engineered. And. This will serve. As the. Essentially the prototype for all the jury will make of this style from now on. The next stage and in the process. Is to make a rubber mold. Of. The model that we've just made. Then we open up that. Rubber block. And remove the. Metal piece from the inside we left them with a. Rubber block with a cavity inside. The neck cavity. We. Inject hot wax. Under pressure. And when the wax cools we open up the rubble block and remove the wax.

That wax is going to be an exact replica. Of the original metal piece. Once we have our wax we then take. Many waxes and. And form a cluster of waxes. Which we then. Surround with casting plaster. Rather like plaster of Paris. It has some special properties to it. Then. When we've got that solid block of plaster with the wax inside we then melt out the the way x from the internal part of the plaster which is where the term come from the lost wax process. And once we've got a perfectly clean interior to the plaster flask. Which we've done in a very high temperatures and special ovens we then have a plaster flask with a perfectly clean cavity. Internally. And that

is. What we inject molten gold into. And. Molten gold. Sure for 17 years. Just do you graze. And. When the gold inside the plaster has cooled down sufficiently We then take that whole block. Plaster with the gold inside and we put that in oil and into cold water. Cold water has the effect of exploding off the plaster from the gold dust. Exposing. Exposing the gold and then we have the basics we have the basic items on which we're going to cut those off into individual items and then we start the process. First process is to remove the crust from Lee from the outside of the casting. And then we go. Further down. And. The. Casting polished. Then we have to go into our cutting.

And we cut stones to precisely fit the castings. When that's said and. Then we move on to the diamond set in the diamond setter is is setting a POV of a diamond in this particular range where we're taking nine different sizes of diamonds and poverty in them together so that you get a nice even flow to the setting. Quality comes from having the attitude that absolutely anything can be made better and that's what we're attempting with. The Spectrum was funded in part by grants from

the people of Chevron in Hawaii and the Hawaii State foundation on culture and the arts.
