Casting A COPPER Celtic Skull & Rings - Lost PLA & Wax Casting - Melting Metal At Home

In this video I'll be casting a huge copper skull and some golden rings from scrap copper and bronze. I am using the lost PLA and lost wax method to cast these. I built the casting tree by attaching wax sprues and used investment plaster before burning out the wax and pouring in the molten metal.

That was a beautiful pour. And I was able to see that amazing blue green glow when that copper is melting. Excellent job all the way around. My fav ring is the skull in the middle at the end. Great video and thanks for sharing. Hope you and yours are safe. 👍

[@Mr-Mojo92]

I know what I was going to say I can relate to you more than ever on polishing aluminum brass and copper it isn't easy I've been polishing not very long I just recently got a sanding wheel for my drill and have just started sanding a few aluminum bars it isn't easy but wow it is awesome when it's done I absolutely love your videos and can relate more than ever now keep making your videos Love them so much it keeps me going ❤️😎✌️

[@steven2212]

[@DavidD03820]

I really like the skull, just different enough to be appealing.

[@caseywood9781]

This covid thing has provided me with endless free time. And in that forever I've watched most everything you've made. It's fascinating to witness your skills grow. You're becoming quite the master

[@Mistertbones]

Lost PLA and lost wax casting requires a lot of preparation, but the results are amazing.

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

Awesome, I love bronze casting. I did it for school once but I can't afford a forge and equipment to do it.

[@etscrapping9923]

Love them 💀.👍

[@enginkanal428]

[@tylerkrug7719]

Grim reaper ring is dope!

[@nightwingzero8905]

Very nice.

[@ChatterontheWire]

I hate when I get crusties like that in my nose cavity and have to get out the dremel to clean it out! Very nice this week, very nice!

[@awworkshop3936]

😊

[@kristym1459]

I'm partial to the Cubs ring lol😉 however they all turned out great. The skull is fantastic!!

[@ArtByAdrock]

You and me both 😃

[@josephstevens2123]

hey really enjoyed watching you make the Rings at a copper turned out great. you can use to pour metal and the vessels without a vacuum machine I didn't know that

[@w.i.s.c.-wiingotsandcastin6641]

Cool. I want the Cubs ring

[@American_Innovation]

Great vid lost pla is hard and expensive glad to see someone do a good one, if find a cheaper way to make the investment tho, everything looked brand new, I’m jealous

[@karlchipak643]

Hello. Great job

[@reggiebrown204]

So awesome👍👍👍💕💞

[@DrakeyC]

"all this clean-up was very time consuming" I'll bet, all those tiny details and crevices to clean up, phew. They came out looking great though :D

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yes it really was 👍🏻

[@clintdoolittle1576]

ADAM WHAT DO U MEAN THEY TURNED OUT LOOKING AWESOME I am not much of a ring kind of guy but if I had to choose would b the 1st ring on ur shelf at the end BUT THE SKULL IS THE BEST that SKULL must of taking a long time to clean that up dang it, and I see a few what looks like sum NEW GADGETS u got there 🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍

[@StreetMachine18]

That reaper ring is nice. Reminds me of samcro

[@hugoarturodelagarza2926]

cool... very different video... congrats

[@Metalstacker]

Dang, you are getting quiet the workshop over there with those printers and vacuüm stuff. I did not think they would come out that great thinking you did not pour vacuüm. But I have to say, they look great!

[@Bigdog7499]

The rings are awesome. I like the skull with the hat and the star wars one. Cubs was cool, just not a cubs fan lol. The solo skull was awesome that looked like a pain in the ass to clean up though

[@kar3n35]

Those rings for a man are awesome.

[@josephstevens2123]

I do a little bit of jewelry casting myself with my vacuum machine I didn't know you could just pour it in there also

[@johnnycat7546]

Great job on the skull and rings but I have a great idea and was hoping u could make it so I can see how it would look plz. A solid brass hand grenade life size and polished tyvm.

[@MaxSMoke777]

I think you'd get a cleaner casting if you heated the mold before pouring the metal. From what I've seen from others, lost wax casting is usually extremely clean, but they always heat their molds before use.

[@AI-ds9rt]

try using a vacuum system with your perforated flask when pouring the metal for better results (less porosity, more detail) look into the kaya cast system from arbe

[@tylerkrug7719]

That's a nice electric kiln dude

[@kevinwhitaker119]

AWESOME BIT OF WORK MATE 😊 THOSE RINGS JUST STUNNING. THE SCULLS EYE SOCKETS I MIGHT HAVE LEFT SOME OF THE PLASTER JUST FOR CONTRAST... ANYWAY ADROCK TOP WORK 😁😎😁☮️❤️🏴💣💥

[@KnotHead1008]

I don’t know if you are aware of this trick or not. But get a dowel about 3 inches in circumference and about 12 inches long and taper from about 5 inches to one end. This will secure the ring by a friction hold and keep your hands safely away from the polishing wheel and grinding and sanding. 👍👍👍

[@sealfoss]

Wow, the level of detail you got out of that plaster was pretty great. Have you ever played with zbrush before? You could probably make some pretty awesome stuff with it.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks 🙏 Yeah I use zbrush a lot 👍🏻

[@JasonSipe16]

Thanks for posting. Where do you get your wax and what kind?

[@eaglpaul1]

Could you do a Viking themed casting sometime? I think that would be cool. Keep the videos coming man.

[@ArtByAdrock]

I’ve done a Viking Axe in the past for a challenge with BigstackD and Vog, check out that video 😉

[@joenewman6939]

The star wars ring came out cool

[@smokeyspock]

2nd and very good job on the skull i love it has well has the star wars ring

[@awworkshop3936]

😊

[@tylerkrug7719]

I would be interested to see other difrent types of metals cast, from lower temp melting, to possibly higher temp melting. Thanks

[@Pablo668]

Dude, get a jewellers tumbler, it makes cleaning up casts much easier. Especially if you start doing precious metals.

[@gabrielraymundo3481]

hello my friend, congratulations on the videos. I have a brief question, could you help me, how do I keep the copper from getting dark and oxidized after casting? I saw in your video that after breaking the plaster the copper was looking great. thank you.

[@TommyPestolis]

Woah wait whaaat how did they come out so clean without a vacuum caster??

[@johnnybottles2344]

Always enjoy watching & learning from your videos. So thank you. I'm interested in creating a small cast for lead how world I go about finding a company to create it? 😷👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
