Yesterday(Feb 25
th) was the day I was waiting since the week before because I get to know that we were going to do some ICE CARVING!!!!!! Wohoooo!!! Hehehehe… :P… but I was late that morning… half an hour late to be exact…. Woke up late that morning because I forgot to set the alarm…:S…. Luckily the rest of my group members haven’t started yet and were given explanation about the tools and general stuffs about ice carving… :P… there's a lot of tools used for carving ice… including chain saw, chisel, saw, some rotary tools and so on… plus they are not cheap…
The Ice Block
We're gonna use a few of the tools yesterday... chisel(a few types of it), chainsaw, and some other... we were asked to wear gloves to throughout the whole process... because of the ice was so cold... duhh!!!? hehehehe... :P... and helps reduce the risk of getting cuts from the sharp chisel while carving... in this CAD(Culinary Arts & Design) class, we were divided into 3 groups... each group gets one big block of ice... btw we we're also explained on how to handle the ice block as well to prevent it from shattering and so on... :)
Cutting the ice into two with the saw... didn't get a pic of me cutting with a chainsaw... :(
1st of all we were ask to trim the sides of the huge ice block and cut it into two... :)... we're going to make a square container and a leaf bowl... :)... there's 4 of us in the group... at 1st all of us were at the 1st block doing the container... then Chef asked me to start carving the leaf bowl.. ehehehe... by my self!!! wahahahahahahahahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carving the Ice Container... :)
Got myself the tools required and started the leaf bowl straight away... hehehe... i love this... :)... but the thing about ice carving is that, it is so damn tiring!!!! sweating throughout the whole process of carving them... :S.... anyway... i don't mind... because i love doing this... wahhaha...
Me carving the "Leaf Bowl" The Leaf Bowl pics... :P i did mine slightly different from what was suppose to be like... :P... the inner part of the bowl was curved instead of edgy which was supposed to be like... hehe... i like it curved better since it looks more natural... hehaahaha... :P... plus the sides i did not follow the starting design.... i followed the leaf design i did on my previous pumpkin leaf... hehehe... :P.... haha... mine was abit different... then the other group ciplak(copied) my leaf bowl pattern... wahahhaha... :P... i don't mind anyway... we all there to learn... :)...
Group Photo with our ices... :P
Our ices are thrown into the drain...we have to... :(Ice carving was really really fun but in the same time its very tiring... although it was cold... but still we will sweat while carving them... it takes some effort to get it done since it is very hard... and we need to be careful not to hit to hard to avoid for getting it ruined and shatter... :P..
