Hello! I disappeared because I was renovating my own jewelry store! Can you imagine this? There is still a lot of work ahead, but sometimes I need to pause and, for example, shoot a video for you! And also, you can always buy my silverware on my website bonnfactory.ru/?lang=en or at etsy www.etsy.com/shop/BonnFactory

@Wyatt P The Internet is full of videos. This video here is a demonstration of "how not to do" and like David said with tin it works, but with others and more convinient metals this method is not a possibility under no circumstances. It's more like "christmas tin casting" with some very dangerous "benefits". Can't see any worth in this (apart of an anaphylactic shock from the tin;-) ).

@David Chatterton I agree 100% with your statement. I too have my own lost wax casting shop and as you stated, yes, it will cost money in the startup period. That being said, there’s value in doing it right and if anyone plans on doing this as a business or even a side hustle, this isn’t going to cut it. You are just asking to give yourself unnecessary work with all the filing and cleanup you’re gonna have to do. I mean, this guy didn’t even bother to buy a little bit of the proper wax! Not only will you have tons of extra work to do, which eats into your profit margin, your work is just not going to look as good as it could/should and you will have a hard time selling it. My suggestion to anyone wanting to do this as a business is to save up some cash, buy the most necessary tools to begin with and then continue to buy the proper equipment AND material as you go. Good luck to anyone!

Used to do this when i started making jewelry was fun. Good work man always fun to watch your videos. Just remember to clean everything from tin after you are done, i generally go by the rule to never use tin and silver in the same workshop cause its hell on silver if mixed. An example is if you anneal a piece of silver and its been contaminated with tin lets say from a file, the small tin particles will etch pits into the surface.

@@med8615 If its casting you want to do then I cant find a substitute for tin, its the safest and easiest metal to start with when it comes to casting. I know silver is expensive but if you want to make casted jewelry out of silver you could always sculpt them in wax then send them to a professional and have em cast em for you, I got a few colleagues who work this way they send it wax models then the caster send back finished castings and they file and finish the castings and sell em. But dont forget you can do a lot of cool stuff by cutting,filing and grinding. Just take a look at some of Bonn's other videos hes done a lot of stuff by hand no casting, hes latest video. If you want to make jewelry by only cutting and filing it then Brass is a good metal to work with.

I might be a bit late, but aa someone who made homemade candles, NEVER melt wax directly on the stove. The wax could catch fire if the temperature is too high. Its better to put the pot in which you want to melt your wax in another pot filled with water. The stove will heat up the water, which will then heat up the wax and melt it and prevent burning

A few questions about the process. 1. What is the reasoning behind mixing in the silicone rod into the wax? 2. Is it necessary for getting good quality/burnout? 3. Does something like hot glue stick work as a replacement for the silicone rod or is it better to just not add anything? 4. Is that just regular plaster of paris or is it a special casting plaster? 5. Would that type of mold work for hotter metals like Aluminum and Bronze?
@Laywild
@Laywild 2 жыл бұрын
might be a bit late but the silicone rod is essentially hot glue, it is mixed in because candle wax on its own is very brittle, so it is easier to make the wax ring with more durable wax. normal plaster should work fine for this.

pretty late too. aluminum and bronze have MUCH higher melting temperatures than a stove can produce so id guess the mold also cant hold it. Thats why they are usually cast in sant in shuch a small scale (sometimes reffered to as green sand).

There are silicon rubbers / rtv room temperature vulcanized, that can stand the heat of pewter/tin. Just make a two part mold with your wax. Remove wax ,cut spru and vents and pour melted metal in. You could also use sand casting method. These methods save the effort of melting wax out and you can keep the original wax. I have been a professional jeweler for 45 years and have used both these methods many times. Carving wax is relatively cheap compared to all the other supplies jewelers use. Have fun.

The jewellery solder for brass will be an alloy of copper, silver, and zinc, and it is "solder" only in the sense of melting at a lower temperature than the brass you are soldering.

Its called “the lost art” not to many people take this route anymore. I learned it with just wax n clay in a two stage mold to preserve the mold for more copies, but the mold eventually gets damaged. Alot of artisans that practice the solid clay technique is very similar to this. Break the clay to get the ring. Then use finished polished ring as the “mother” to create many clay molds. Then just do the pours in one hit. Its hit n miss. I learned the technique from an artisan in south America. Adding that metal outer layer is legit. I see many videos on sand casting but they mess up the breathing holes. I myself for my own use like the imperfections. Gives the jewelry character. Thanks for the share. I never took shop class but did an exchange student program to Vermont n they showed me machining jewelry from scrap metal. All i got back home was band n home economics. Lol i cant complain i can run my house hold like a champion and enjoy music at a more personal level. Love seeing videos like yours, never too old to learn new n different techniques.

Hey man, this really cool. So I was trying to make a protected box for my little scale by using a small cardboard box, some styrofoam and some metal weights that came out of a few electric train locomotives. I was heating up the weights on the stove because I was going to make them hot and then pick them up with pliers and press them into the styrofoam to the shape of my scale that I had traced. Before I knew it, 2 of the weights had melted and I panicked like wtf!! I still have no idea if these weights are lead? pewter?, tin perhaps? ...I thought they were fine and them melting was the last thing I was expecting to happen. But now that I know that I can melt them, I’m looking for ideas on casting things since I have other stuff at my disposal like plaster of Paris, wood blocks, lots of legos(maybe use them for casting forms?)... I’m a hobbyist and full time tinkerer of things and casting miniatures figurines or small weapons, or even little detail parts for my HO scale trains is what I’m trying to do. I also dumpster dive and hoard stuff & material for my never ending projects that I’m constantly working on. Thanks for the video.

I make rings from hex nuts, but would love trying this. But with my lack of experience in this type of work. I would have enjoyed more endepth example.

It’s a little strange that you use your ring finger to pick your nose, but nice ring.

Will this same technique work with regular jewellery carving wax? As in will it be hot enough to successfully burn out the wax? The wax is cheap enough to buy, but the programmable kiln, and vacuum caster is a little out of my price range. Thanks! Great video btw!

cured silicone doesn't melt, it burns, and even then, not at such low temperatures. What it appears you've used is a hot glue stick, which will give VERY different results based on what it's made of (ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyesters, polyethylene, polyamide, polyolefin or ethylene-methyl acrylate (EMA)) I'm assuming the glue stick you've used here is polyolefin, as it should readily incorporate into the paraffin wax (synthetic candle wax) without too much separation.

Any chance that this wax would work for a lost wax casting?? I'm looking for a tougher wax than plain paraffin but I can't find any

Cool video. Where do you get the silicone rod? It kinda looks like a stick of hot glue (which I THINK is a type of thermoplastic). What an interesting idea to add something to ordinary paraffin wax to make it more carvable, and still turn out completely.

Bonn, my man 🤙.. I started making rings over 3 years ago mostly silver. All the tools and equipment can be super expensive an we been practically closedthe past year due to covid.. Your videosvalways inspire me to keep learning, an i love that u show us how to do things that are not expensive to try, like this wax and i love how u used a simple bolt to file inside the ring band 👌i think we think on tge same wave length haha.. Can i ask you about the silicone rods. Where to find these, they look like sticks from hot glue gun.. Does normal silicone DIY tubes work or where can i find the ones you used? Thank u man from Ireland 🍀

Got a weird question, I know people do lost wax casting with investment and a lot of fancy machines, would it be possible to use a lost wax method with a torch and delft clay? Or would it dry the clay out too much?
