[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@billvincent368]

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

[@georgeantash1106]

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

[@emmahill6832]

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

[@IaruHetep]

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

[@thegreatbroken9449]

Glorious bronze trilobites are glorious.

[@DuesenbergJ]

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

[@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 👏🏼

[@taegenplayz9179]

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

[@kelkanwallen7567]

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

[@popoling9982]

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

[@zackerickson1342]

Trilobites have gotta be my favorite prehistoric bottom feeder.

[@Uraeus_]

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

[@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.

[@nickpeyton8056]

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

[@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.

[@ryber3]

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

[@aenetanthony]

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

[@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!

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! I think so too.

[@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

[@unicornhal]
