Casting A Copper 'Murder Hornet' & Coins From Scrap Copper Cable - Lost PLA Casting At Home

In this video I'll be melting down scrap copper cable and turning it into the murder hornet and some custom copper coins. I found of model on thingiverse which was the closest I could find to the actual hornet. I used investment plaster to make the mold and a kiln to melt out the PLA. The coins were cast in custom pirate coin molds that I make and sell on my website (A link to my website below).

Not everything always turns out 100% how you want it to but trying and creating is what makes it fun. I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful weekend 👍🏻

[@OriginalMomo]

Adam, would making the layers thicker on wings help? 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♂️

[@SmoKeYJoE024]

What do you think you could've done differently to make the hornet better?

[@Night_Ender]

@@SmoKeYJoE024 as I think there are 2 possibilities - fill it all and use the slurry method or use also the vaccuum when pouring the molten metal in

[@phoenixlunaalexandrite3186]

The murder hornet looks murdered, IT'S PERFECT!!! And Pretty!!! Still interested in graphite coin molds if you have a source. Or if you make them yourself, I'm very very interested in buying some!!!!

[@ronniesimpson7438]

@@phoenixlunaalexandrite3186 click on the bit at the top of the comments which says ''show more'' and then scroll to the bottom to find the adrock website link,the moulds are on there.

[@awldune]

The unfilled places look very natural, like you cast a dead wasp that had decayed a little. I like it!

[@andie_pants]

I hate flying stinging insects with a passion, but I still love everything about your murder hornet.

[@Gocolas]

It’s called a giant Asian hornet

[@andie_pants]

@@Gocolas The artist called his piece "Murder Hornet". I'm going to refer to it by the name Adrock gave to it.

[@silvertaniwha1314]

Sometimes PERFECTION is in that which is not PERFECT. LOVE THE COPPER HORNET

[@allenhenry1113]

That's a great idea with the wasp!! It turned out kinda goth looking👍👍👍👍👍

[@jasongeorgeoff4626]

That was really cool. I like how you made the murder hornet. Keep the videos coming. It is nice to just focus on what your making and forget everything else. 🤙

[@LargeCarAce]

The Hornet looked awesome. Two thumbs up. Cheers from New York🍻🍻

[@DrakeyC]

Looks great! The Copper Snitch

[@awldune]

Good call!

[@matthewtracy8744]

The imperfections make it unique. I think it came out awesome!!!

[@smokeyspock]

even though the hornet didn't turn out 100% I still think it looks cool and i like the big coin that you did from the frying pan

[@Mistertbones]

I love your investment castings. A long process, but it's worth the effort.

[@toomanyhobbies2874]

That's awesome. I think my next investment will have to be a 3D printer. You're always making cool things to cast with yours.

[@ArtByAdrock]

I highly recommend it and nowadays you can get a decent one for pretty cheap 👍🏻

[@tylerkrug7719]

Hey dude, have you ever melted and poured silver? That would be pretty cool

[@hankkirby5386]

Pretty expensive

[@tylerkrug7719]

@@hankkirby5386 scrap silver is pretty cheap, gold is expensive, Silver is like 50 cent a gram, and that's a high price. What ever he makes doesn't have to be huge, I'm sure other people would like to see difrent types of metal being melted and poured.

[@tylerkrug7719]

Just a tiny coin would be cool

[@hankkirby5386]

tyler krug Fair enough

[@rockelec]

Love the Murder Hornet!

Great work bro..😍

[@PBRJOHN684]

Your selves are filling up nicely there mate. Grate video as always, Just the thing I needed to keep me sane while our country is still in lock down! Keep up the good work

[@phill903]

The Murder Hornet still looks badass ;-)

[@fb___4255]

You can tell that it's a zombie hornet, even cooler. The copper pizza is lovely. Keep it going!

[@alexhatfield2987]

👍The wasp reminds me of the delicate fragile skeletal remains of one that was on floor in a closet at home for years! Like your style.

[@johnnyedwards8969]

Absolutely amazeing what you come up with and put those ideas to creation love it.

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing

[@jasonqss2661]

Best vid yet 👍🏽 big stack of copper pancakes 🤤🥞

[@captainjerk]

That big BEE came out great! LOL Looks awesome! Like you caught it in a pool filter! :D I'm sure you could try again and dial it in to get a perfect one! But, this one is really cool!Those coins are great too! That copper plate is the perfect mount for the Murder Hornet! Thanx for a great vid Adam!

[@ArtByAdrock]

captainjerk glad you like it buddy! It was fun to make for sure 👍🏻

[@shaneyork300]

Nice work! I like how it turned out too! Those wings were ultra thin. It would've been hard to do! Have a GREAT Day!!!

[@clintdoolittle1576]

ADAM THAT WASP LOOKED FREAKING AWESOME BETTER THEN THE original one you made I think cuz to me it looks like the wasp won the fight lol but with a few battle wounds on the wings and I dont think anyone else could do a better job then you did on it ok I'm done lol till next week brotha 🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍

[@jorgegabrielconteburrell8575]

The Cooper plate turns out very good to show up the killer bee.

[@Tcamibrb]

Dude it turned out incredible maybe next time make let’s say the bee first with just a silicon mold and then pour wax into that silicon mold so that when pre heating the investment it only has to get rid of wax not the 3D printed stuff Wich I imagine have a much harder time melting so that the metal can get everywhere, but still it turned out incredible great job and keep up the good work

[@gomezdrhotmailcom]

Another awesome video! Can’t wait until next week.

[@damienbrundle166]

I love the look of the skeleton coin.....havent got that one

[@RobinhoodCoins]

Man that hornet is awesome!!

[@moosescrapper5928]

another great video bud!

[@tylerkrug7719]

I love all your new ideas. This is definitely my favorite melting/art channel! By far!!!

[@undeadking7926]

Thats one hot pancake your cooking there 😂

Friggin sweet!

[@tylerkrug7719]

Nice paragon kiln.

[@nightwingzero8905]

Very nice.

[@kenny2644]

Awesome stuff bro. Looks fun. I want to try it. I’d love to see you melt and cast some gold and silver bars and trinkets? Bet that would go viral and as long as you was careful you wouldn’t lose any money.

[@Thewulf56]

Even though it didn't fill out all the way, it still turned out great. Love the Murder Hornet. Keep up the good work my friend. 🍻🍻🍻🐺

[@mrhacker8685]

Made anything with magnet please

[@Metalstacker]

Too bad the wasp did nog fill out good, but it is quiet new for you to do something like that. Along the road you will learn more and get better. Looking forward to many more projectsand see you getting better and better :) The two small coins turned out great!

[@americasfavoritehoarder]

Where can I get molds for coins? I've started melting.

[@ArtByAdrock]

On my website 😉

[@robertbeighter6336]

Dude that wasp is 100% what it should look like.... dead. gotta admit - i was pretty worried when you poured the rest of the copper into that cast iron skillet..... even tho you heated it they can still pop on ya. Great stuff, keep em coming

[@WayneEarls]

Sometimes I can't tell if I'm watching BigstackD or ArtbyAdrock.

[@edsonmartins101]

congratulations, what material did you use to cover the bee?

[@kabal2261]

Tava sumido mano.👍

Where do you get custom coin molds with art at

[@soma97]

that was cool !

[@donniebrown2896]

Good show Adam, I'm with you on the bug, like it a bunch. Now you've got to re season that skillet, lol. Thanks bro

[@ClearMindJewellery]

If you vacuum your investment in the mixing bowl first it won't bubble over so badly in the flask. Investment will need to "boil" which is why it's over flowing.

[@raziel3726]

[@jeffhulett4194]

Did you print with wax? How do you get the plastic out, did the hot copper burn it out? Good video.

[@user-cj6yz5zz2c]

Привет! Подскажите пожалуйста чем вы печатали на принтаре? Это воск?

[@hugoarturodelagarza2926]

what were those little explosion when you put the copper in the pan?.... Water?

Paint

[@himanshurohit879]

U have to make it perfect. man!!!

[@thehomeofsilentgaming4241]

Have you tried to take like Android or iPhone chargers and take the copper out and melt it down you would need a lot of charges but it would be cool to see that happen

[@piperdoug428]

Be cool to do a series of bugs, ants, mantis etc

How long does it take to burn out the PLA?

can u do the thunder cat logo or make a dragon ball or goku satue
