Molten Aluminium into a Live Edge Cookie

[@AFHProvider]

Great Table. Very Impressive. Love the visuals. Congrats...

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Paul Thanks mate.

[@pneumatic00]

Dramatic shop volcano video! Nicely done!

[@1AXMRDR]

Table looks great. Ingenious idea using aluminum. Pretty violent reaction when you poured it in. Vent hole was extremely important. Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks very much I will do it again with a bigger vent. Cheers blaise

[@NeilBromhall1]

Brilliant Blaise. It just goes to show how much work goes into your masterpieces. Best wishes Neil

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks mate, I’m stoked you like it.

@@BlaiseBrogan fyi Aluminium is the metal aluminum is the trade mark name for reynolds aluminum foil wrap made with Aluminium ... one can NOT trade mark a common element so they miss spelled it to get a trade mark name ... and all who use aluminum are using that trade mark name ... it's like holding gift wrap onto packages with Scotch Tape ... no people use Cellophane tape ... the other is a NAME BRAND trade mark name . so it is ALWAYS aluminium ... only the poorly educated use aluminum ... . once upon a time when this metal was new it went through several names Alumina aluminum and finally aluminium ... the final result is because it is a family of materials that have the same properties ... and they all ended with ium like titanium ..

[@catherinebrogan6674]

This table is truly beautiful- I want one now! They should sell like hot cookies 🍪

[@Smashachu]

That was really satisfying to watch. In line with 1000 degree knife videos, lets see some more stuff with metal being poured into it you might be onto something viral.

[@craigjones1115]

Beautiful table! Just do whatever works for you.

[@mynameisandycook1]

5:03 The video I'll show anyone I ever see not using gloves. Awesome project!!!

[@distancejunkiemonkey4491]

Very nice, one suggestion. When working with metal, both in the heat, pouring, and sanding? Respirator! That stuff is hell on your body and brain. Turned out really nice, thanks for filming

[@traviswalker6831]

Good job my friend! That turned out great!

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Travis Walker thanks v much mate!!

[@pablospicoli]

Love it!

[@tommycutztrees]

Constantly thinking outside the box love it dude

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks Mate

[@JacqInTheWild]

Seriously cool.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks dude means a lot.

[@joesneon]

Very cool buddy!!!! That must have smelled great!!!!

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks buddy yes it did and the workshop still smells! Cheers Blaise

[@Woodman_Custom_Sawing]

Looks great and you learned something. Win win👍

[@SlabGuy]

I was thinking about doing something similar, just with lead or bismuth. Great video brother.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks mate shame were not closer we could hook up! Blaise

[@bigoldgrizzly]

was wondering if this would be more successful using low temperature solder rods melted and poured. Bright enough when freshly sanded and polished and should stay so when sealed in. Bit pricey though, but does not need to go full depth as filler could be used to bring level up

[@ryanssawmill8224]

I love it bud great job 😁

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Ryans sawmill thanks V much mate.

[@dedyahmad4796]

Wonderfull idea

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks so much.

[@rickallen9382]

was the steam from moisture in the wood

[@MrBrennanMatt]

Might be a few years late to b asking this, but was that wood kiln dried at all?

[@BlaiseinSky]

No mate it was air dried and was dead standing for quite a few years. Cheers

[@MrBrennanMatt]

@@BlaiseinSky ah ok, thanks for the reply! Thinking of doing something similar but have heard stories of steam explosions from damp wood. Not sure how to go about picking the right piece

[@kennethchapman8468]

Man that is bad ass Very nice

[@IaninLondon]

Absolutely great bit of work Blaise....👍👍

Muchas gracias amigo! Blaise

[@vanvamsenasena9648]

Efeito do caralho , parabéns !

[@thehunter717]

That looks amazing :)

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks very much bud, more to come soon, cheers Blaise

[@thehunter717]

I have filled splits with epoxy, buy have never seen one done with aluminum. To bad the other side did not fill. It would have looked neat with the bowtie. Do you think the moisture in the wood caused the aluminum to cool to fast, not allowing it to completely fill.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Yes it was a shame but thats why I tried it on the bottom of the table first time. Yes its the moister that did it but not cooling too quick Im virtually certain that the vents were to small, I think with bigger vents it will fill completely. Next time I'm going for it on the top! in a couple of weeks hopefully. Cheers mate Blaise

[@salazarpayne3784]

Awesome!

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks mate 👍🏼

[@jimgam730]

That's cool. Might have to try that myself sometime. Wonder how it would look with molten copper?

[@Baumscheibenkunst]

Copper has a much higher melting point and a higher heat capacity per volume. So you would probably burn more of the wood. It might still look cool though.

[@brandongump1693]

It would look more expensive. Lol

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

@@Baumscheibenkunst could do a sheet metal copper cutout for the bowtie, and a solder or pewter inlay behind it.... that’d be badass!

[@Baumscheibenkunst]

@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ now that sounds really cool. I might give it a try.

[@EvansBoatwork]

Lovely project. With lead, you can test the temp with a piece of paper by dipping it in the molten metal. If the temp is right it won't catch fire, therefore reducing the risk of burning your project - don't know about ali tho...

[@shalormckee2784]

Aluminum melts at 1200F so it's going to burn no matter what

[@ianharvey3696]

Braver than me using hot melt glue to hold bits when pouring, quite warm, liquid aluminium!!!!

[@NathanNostaw]

Looks good finished, but I sure wouldn't have had it inside for the pore. Shit scary when flames start in a wood workshop. Ended well though. :)

[@Elite_Gamer_1337]

Should have polished the varnish off and coated again

[@syncringe1885]

"this is not how to do this is how I did it." My exact reaction. "Imma do it exactly like this."

[@احمدحسن-ع4ص1خ]

why you didn't use epoxy it was better ?

[@BlaiseBrogan]

No I hate epoxy it just plastic with a different name.

[@احمدحسن-ع4ص1خ]

@@BlaiseBrogan try to use it for one time I am sure you will love it too much.😁

[@Thetreefella]

B....... Eautiful!!!!!

[@ReduxGarage]

Extremely late to the party here but using pewter gives the same effect and a waaaaaaaay lower melting point.

[@el5495]

[@MetatronYHWH888]

The wood is from a cemetery? Dudue, are you midly insane lol! Are things getting a little strange at your house?

[@el5495]

what kinda of glue did you use to hold the boards in place?

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Hi mate it’s hot glue, cheers

[@el5495]

+Blaise Brogan (Blaiseintrees) wow I'm surprised it held up I assumed it was heavy duty stuff. looks amazing never seen this before I filled my cracks worth epoxy and mixed in the saw dust for color. greetings from California
