How to cast bronze TRILOBITES │Metal casting at home │ Giveaway!

In this video I will show you how I turned a 3d sculpted trilobite into a 3d print and then bronze castings. I will be using my homemade foundry furnace to melt bronze and cast the Trilobites in sand called Petrobond.

[@ElGalloUltimo]

This is simultaneously one of the coolest and most relaxing channels I've found in a long time.

[@Brandon-zo9ly]

Loving these videos. I watch them on Saturday mornings with my kids. It’d be pretty cool if you occasionally posted the amount of time it takes for each stage in the videos. I’m sure the finish work takes a ton more time than most people realize.

[@robertc.delmedico6242]

Wow, I used to cast aluminum and bronze in shop class back in high school. You ate taking it to a very impressive level! Keep it up!

[@lockbow]

That's some of the best casting I've seen so far on KZbin. Crisp, clean and keeping the details by getting the moulds out without wiggling.

[@billvincent368]

I love that you actually cast items. Fun watching all the work being done.

[@jscancella]

I used to do a lot of aluminum casting in high school, all of your work brings me back to doing casting in my back yard. Keep up the great work!

[@georgeantash1106]

These turned out great. It's incredible that you could see the layer lines in the finished pieces.

[@kelkanwallen7567]

I will never get tired of watching lava hot metals being poured into sand molds

[@thegreatbroken9449]

Glorious bronze trilobites are glorious.

[@jamesfreeman8247]

I've just started playing around with my own metal casting. Your channel is one of the ones I've been watch to pick up tips and ideas. Thanks!

[@zackerickson1342]

Trilobites have gotta be my favorite prehistoric bottom feeder.

[@emmahill6832]

Wow! I love how detailed your trilobites are! Keep making great content!

[@geneard639]

The amazing thing about Trilobites, is even if you mess up the mold with the numerous variants of Trilobites no one could notice! Also, a bronze Trilobite would be a cool paperweight for my desk.

[@maxlockard8448]

I just recently found your channel and of all the metal casters I have seen you are by far the best. Your work is clean and you explain what you are doing.

[@AnotherOneToday]

Man, all of these amazing castings really make me eager to get started to do it on my own!! Keep up the awesome work 👏🏼

[@homesteadskooby166]

Just scanning through youtube for a new idea for projects. I've never seen your channel before and I don't usually look up casting videos. I have never even thought about using a 3d print to make a mold. Good on you. This was very much a childhood favorite. They always remind me of alien dust mops. just kind of floating around cleaning up everything. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@RobertBranch-FL]

fossils and metal casting .. two of my favorite things!!

[@aenetanthony]

Ooh, I really like trilobites. They're so cute.

[@jbb3141]

I'm just getting into casting and foundries and love the idea of casting triobytes. Will definitely give it a shot, thanks!

[@WilAdams]

I like these creatures. I wonder would they be a threat to us if they had lived into our era. You do a gr8 job and it really holds my attention.

[@IaruHetep]

That was just SOOO much fun to watch! Loved it!

[@taegenplayz9179]

I can’t believe how good these turned out. I love watching these videos.

[@DuesenbergJ]

Beautiful result. 3D printing is a revolutionary technology. Interesting how you use it together with old techniques for bronze casting.

[@chraven69]

Very nice castings, the details on them are absolutely awsome. It is nice to see creators use sand casting.

[@ryber3]

Thanks for the in-depth video! I love the merging of 3D printing and metal casting.

[@mapahastaelpasadizomhep4655]

They not only look really nice but they sound good too! I like the sound they make when they hit each other, and when you leave them on the table. That make me imagine trilobites chimes, trilobites castanets... :D

[@dirtyronboy]

I love these. I think they’re just as beautiful unpolished.

[@Verygrimcoyote]

I recently discovered your channel, and I’m so happy to see someone who has such a high level of craft in their work. And if I get to own a trilobite then all the better to get to own a piece of your work!

[@Uraeus_]

A perfect combination of my passions: art and the natural world with 3D printing and metal foundry! 🤩

[@unicornhal]

I love your channel. I love the melted metal. You are very good at what you do. The Trilobites are really good looking. My Grandfather had a real one he found. I could never find it when he passed away. I use to play with it. Happy times.

[@nickwood176]

There is something about these ancient and fascinating creatures that makes me yearn to see a living specimen . Wonderful artistic work on them. Thank You.

[@graycatt]

Love the methodical nature of your videos - very informative and edutaining.

[@nickpeyton8056]

Amazing job, bronze is such a wonderful metal to work with.

[@RoboticLegatus]

These castings look fantastic!

[@samschad]

always so good to see Blender used well as a visualization AND design tool.

[@veremenko]

I really like this series of casting fossils. Beautiful pieces.

[@camperp195]

Really therapeutic watching this!

[@MrRichie104]

I am a big fan of casting and have just got set up myself. I absolutely love these trilobite and would love to have a go myself at making one now!

[@popoling9982]

[@rileysherraden2654]

[@rishikhandelwal331]

i feel like this is as good as it gets in metal casting idky but this is better than then anyother casting channel i have seen

[@alexanderandcophotography]

I've just watched a few of your videos and you've inspired me to get into casting, and also get a 3D printer! Keep up the great work and I love the commentary explaining the key steps! I will have to try and make a little trilobite for my wife since she's a geologist and loves them!

[@patricklaverde8438]

I freaking love metal casting, and now with 3D printing the possibilities are endless

[@JonathonHarris]

Really great watching the process, thanks for sharing

[@jryan3906]

Great video! Love the simplicity of the design and end product.

[@MuffFlux]

Looks great! Can't believe I just stumbled across this video. Great timing.

[@TheLord0Ice0Wind]

This is really cool translating 3D printed plastic into cast metal

[@jsmugly]

I'd love one of these. A great addition to my critter collection.

[@tigr9148]

Great video! The combination of 3D printing and metal casting produces amazing detail!

[@agibsmith]

Really terrific videos and top-quality work. Very inspiring. Thank you!

[@enomai379]

Came for the trilobites, stayed for the chill atmosphere.

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you!

[@joshdellis79]

I love trilobites. Great video. Your casting come out so clean compared to some of the other casting channels and I've learned a lot watching your videos.

[@pazignac]

Very informative, love learning about new processes. Keep it up!

[@mikemcdonald7441]

Love the bronze trilobites!

[@alfredneuman7665]

yes, this man is an artist in cast metal, skills I wish I had....

[@fatherofkayos]

You picked my absolute favorite Cambrian life to cast and they turned out perfect, even the pewter one! Bronze was a great choice.

[@three6ohchris]

I know I'm like 5 months late to comment on this video, but I just have to say... Wow. Sir, you are a true artist. I've watched probably hundreds of these types of videos on KZbin, watching dozens of people cast and pour all kinds of designs and objects with all sorts of metals, and you are without a doubt one of the most talented that I've seen. I appreciate that you share your skills with us, and let us be a part of the process. Some folks might see this and say "what's the big deal? He poured metal into a mold." To those people, I suggest giving it a shot themselves. Especially on something this small with so many little details. Anyway, I look forward to seeing your other videos. I just wanted to take a moment to show and share a little bit of appreciation with you, for what you are able to do. Thank you. 🙏

[@tiptronic420]

So glad I found this channel. Love the verbal information overdub!

[@MeltAbilities]

Awesome.. like always‼️ Thank you for the inspiration and spark for me to join this metallurgy adventure. 🥰

[@davewalker6919]

Amazing work! I've been working on brass/bronze-looking 3d printed parts, but now I can't wait to try real metal.

[@supergiantbubbles]

Nice modeling. The castings came out great too.

[@LeDodgyLodger]

These are very cool. I like that you did such a really good job with the blender model.

[@beckybarnes6487]

Trilobites + bronze = the perfect combination. I really wish I still had access to a foundry where I live!
