Hi...just came over from your Glacial Gold Channel......Very interesting.

Great video. If you where to angel the work the other way when pouring. it would be bottom fed which which I find involves less turbulence and really helps to get to all the corners. Do you have the book 'COMPLETE HANDBOOK OF SAND CASTING' It has a good image on the front cover that explains what I mean.

Right sell the Alum. Melt the copper and brass. So sell all metals and buy Bitcoin! Melting cost alot of money to melt!

Do you know what a foundry is?

Thank you for the great starter course. I just ordered my first smelter with a sand casting frame . I want to be as safe as I can be and protective gear like respirators and face shields are common sense. Explosions of Molten metal will make oil burns look like nothing . The pouring ring was not . The Less force on the crucible , the longer it will last . Also that aluminum cans are trash is great to know. You saved me so much time and poisoning. Looks like lost wax is in my future. I’m excited. Thanks.

instead of petro bond or green sand use regular cement mixed with used car oil or a smokeless two stroke oil 5 cups of cement and one cup of oil mix throughly and sift it multiple times it gives you the cleanest casting

That’s freaking awesome. I have got to get into sand casting!

Great video, so nice to see your wife learning the art of metal casting with you… the student has become the teacher. Sorry to hear about Splinter it was always fun to see Splinter from time to time in your videos.

Glad to see you back, was getting worried. Also suprised by the full back tattoo lol working on one myself.

I love it! Looks great on the wall with the pictures!

You should get a 3d printer so you don’t have to make wood molds.

If I were you...I would watch more videos of Mr Big Stack...there are many here who imitate this man...I wouldn't dare mention his name with what you pour...man...man...🙈🙈🙈

The results of your work are great, but how many total hours and total cost do you think this peace cost?

I need to melt steel so I can make speciality tools that can’t be made or bought anywhere. The melting temperature of steel is 2,750 degrees. With taking 3 1/2 inches out of the chamber to make the furnace smaller, would that affect the melting time in a positive or negative way when it comes to the steel? I’ve never done anything like this before, but I am certainly willing to learn.

❤❤❤❤❤

My expert opinion is that it would have been easier had the L been thicker. 🤣Nice to see you back.

I am sorry for your loss.

This is a really challenging pattern as it is so thin. Using a few risers at the critical points would help

I am at the 2 months out stage trying to get the courage for a 3rd attempt at a skeleton clock frame that has all the same problems. Only bigger. Last attempt the cope sand kept falling out when I turned it over !

for tinkering and fiddling, modern hobby ones have a hollow wooden mushroom shape with 5 crams on top for exact the same purpose : braiding, knitting all kind of threads, leather ropes or even soft metal wires.

another fun video. my wife stays indoors while the furnace is roaring, but she does like the creations. not seeing me covered in bronze dust. Was Splinter a car keys thief? Cheers!

The family that casts together stays together.

MUCHAS GRACIAS POR LA TRADUCCIÓN ❤

Sorry for loss of Splinter

Rest in peace splinter 😢

He is back

Nice (Team-) work !! You need to match the fast cooling ratio with much more angle to speed the casting up. Look how Neil Burridge cast his swords in England. Sorry bout Splinter > did you name him after the turtles Splinter? Cheers from Germany 🎉

Great job 😃

Cool video! Sorry to hear about Splinter. 😢

Love your editing. Thanks for the video.

The gravity can probably help if the letter is casted straight up!

btw is it silicon bronze?

make vertical pour of it. might be easier to get it filled.

Great to see you back! Was getting worried.

i love your channel and i am sorry for the loss of Splinter.

Bro, you are back! Awesome! Are you gonna be selling those other small pieces? Keep up the amazing work.

Risers!

That's right don't give up🥲

Thats a good marriage where you can teach your wife. ha ha. Like Larry the cable guy says, "Whats the difference between going on a canoe ride with my kids or with my wife, my kids still talk to me on the way home." Awesome job. Sorry about your pet.

So glad to see you back at it! My heartbroken a little bit about splinter. He looked like a good one.

❤fam

Awwww!! what happened to splinter?

Nice to see you back at it with Teretha the new celebrity presenter celebrating in the new wow Work … may you both have many more fun adventures … N

Whew I was worried the gold fever took the place of the casting vids.

definately challenging. worked out great. congrats. a larger pouring basin would probably help get the metal in there quicker.

I would highly recommend spraying boron nitride on the mold surfaces. It acts like teflon and allows the metal to flow through the mold. I've also noticed that it slows freezing to a noticeable amount. The sand can also be reused as normal. I like the pump spray by Zyp.

I love doing projects with my wife! You are a lucky man to have someone who is willing to work with you.

I watched someone heat up the molds in a oven. Once good and hot, they poured it and it helped bigtime, BUT.. There is some shrinkage so there was flashing around the pour, but thats easy to remove. RIP Splinter 🥺
