Casting an Ant Colony on a Log with Aluminum (Cast

The coolest and most entertaining channel on KZbin

Great to see that you're still doing your thing.Hope you've been well mate.Cheers!

[@IntegraDIY]

This is definitely one of the more crazier ones, those ants were digging like crazy

[@dylanwhincupmann4926]

Soo relaxing the sound of the molten aluminium and the digging. This video is soo relaxing to me.

He doesn't upload often, but when he does, it's really nice to watch.

[@bob-8273]

This is a 2 in 1- oddly satisfying aluminium cast and oddly satisfying power washing.

And killing dangerous insects

[@germanfiend6688]

One of these days you should cast one of those freakishly huge anthills. Y’know, the ones that are like 2 feet long.

[@Lakhshamana]

The cast would be absolutely humongous, I've seen a few videos on big anthill casts

[@JaceFaller]

@@Lakhshamana please, link it I would love to see it.

[@Lakhshamana]

@@JaceFaller kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4XVeJlnZtF1bqc I think there's some other channels dealing with these

[@JaceFaller]

@@Lakhshamana thanks

[@jpendowski7503]

A treat to see you post again. The beauty of the casts is only enhanced by knowing you are eliminating a dangerous insect from a populated area. The dig was super satisfying the clean up gorgeous. Cheers man.

Aluminium man is back!

[@nohonorifics4362]

Woah been awhile since I watched these, they still look rather amazing

[@tedtower9165]

How much weight in aluminum ingots was used for this piece?

[@nohonorifics4362]

@@tedtower9165 Maybe 20-ish pounds maybe? He had 31.1 lbs of that for a prior anthill but had left over (i subbed 11 lbs from 31.1 lbs to get the amount of aluminum) I'm likely wrong since math and conversions are not my strong suit but it's my educated guess

[@seangere9698]

I would've personally cut either end of the log and left it in the casting and used that as the anchor point to mount the nest in the correct orientation. But that's just my personal opinion. Other than that, it came out extremely well.

[@xavierrobinson808]

Your videos are artistic 👌.

[@kennethsimmons5235]

I hate fire ants... If I could show you pictures of what they did to my 18 month old grand daughter you would understand. Good work looks beautiful.

[@Facet_5_CUT_8XM]

Where do you get your molten aluminum?

[@AnthillArt]

I get ingots from Rotometals.com usually

[@Facet_5_CUT_8XM]

@@AnthillArt oh… I’ll definitely check’em out! No how do you heat them up? Open flame?

[@AnthillArt]

@@Facet_5_CUT_8XM I need to do a tutorial one day, though my method isn't that great, but long story short: charcoal and a blower (hair dryer) in a metal can lined with refractory.

[@Facet_5_CUT_8XM]

@@AnthillArt good to know!

[@jedimindtrick3391]

Something really entertaining and relaxing watching this kind of video.. like it's really freaking cool to see the intelligence of the ants. Scares the hell out of me if they where our size compared to them now. o.o

[@dofyx1847]

Glad to see your channel pop up again

[@TheJonesChannel11]

What do you use to melt your aluminum?

[@sanketoiler6526]

Heat 😂

[@groundzero_-lm4md]

Nice power washer. Should make cleaning a lot easier.

[@troydavidson6595]

I think that is the best business opportunity for everyone should make lot of money by turning ants into fine art works & putting art works on eBay & museum's

[@brandon.clifton416]

Would look really cool if they used the inside of the log too. Still amazing work

[@jameson7252]

I find these videos very soothing

[@jamesh5460]

Wow! It is shocking at how extensive the nests are

[@stephenmcculley788]

Any thoughts about casting bronze or copper hills?

Yeah I want to see that too.

How do you safely transport the molten aluminum to the anthill? Are they just in your backyard?

[@AnthillArt]

Yeah, they're all close to my house. I'm usually melting just a few feet from where I'm pouring and have a water hose on hand.

[@MitchellC564]

@@AnthillArt bit late but how long does this take and if you don’t mind me asking what is the cost of the aluminum I’ve always wanted to get a cast of an ant hill

[@Myth0magical_Gh0st]

@@MitchellC564 some times you can use old tire rims or piston heads I’m not sure what the price is for pure aluminum though And it can take upwards of an hour for the melting devices I have I’m not sure about his though Hope this helps a little

[@FrancisRAM.C]

love how serious this is during april 1. Ngl i was expecting something like you found rare earth ore or artifacts of the funny order :)

[@AnthillArt]

I do have an April Fools video idea I've been thinking about for years but may never do it. Always thought it would be funny to add a quick shot where I find a human skull or something and just toss it aside real quick or stage spilling aluminum on my foot.

[@zillasaiyan1m274]

@@AnthillArt maybe a business would be making these out of gold and platinum and selling them for incredibly high prices

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Fascinating; I'd expected the ants to have burrowed into the log, and for it to be carbonized into charcoal by the molten metal. I was wrong on both counts! Cool~

[@動く点P-w3z]

[@MillaRaeDeshibeau]

This is so amazing!! It looks like coral, I can see these in a fish tank as decoration.

[@aunusuallylargecat1779]

Not much of a good idea unless it is coated first, aluminum could leak or "mix" into the water and cause some metal poisoning to the fish.

[@zillasaiyan1m274]

@@aunusuallylargecat1779 there's probably a different material you could use then

[@aunusuallylargecat1779]

@@zillasaiyan1m274 yep! Something that is durable enough against water based corrosion would be preferable though I dont think there is that much metals that would look like aluminium and would be as expensive like it, the best choice would be to paint the metal/object with a hydrophobic material first before using it for the aquarium.
