[@vicferrari9380]

Beautiful finish

[@JulianMakes]

thank you Vic!

[@barthanes1]

It would look awesome in ebony and aluminum as well.

Hey Julian. Enjoyed watching you make this - love your file-grinder-file-grinder method of flattening, it reminds me of scraping... The tamper looks amazing too. Came to your channel from SWDweeb, and am working my way through. Looking forward to updates on your lathe and excavator :) I have an old jcb backhoe that needs a lot of pins and bushes doing so keen to see your process. Thanks again, Peace, Bongo.

thank you so much!!!! :)

At the end when you're showing it... I love the sounds in the background. Sounds like an industrial place with water leaks.

Very nice mate

swdweeb cheers mate :)

Ooooh, shiny! Great job!

Awesome job Julian! I still think you should make up a set of chess pieces this size (even just one of each of the six types) because I think they would look beautiful but no matter what this one is gorgeous and you should be proud!

[@benspeedschannel888]

Beautiful job sir!!

[@mamamheus7751]

Beautiful job! Now you have to make Her Indoors one for her birthday, with her name or a pattern on the bottom, so when she Tampa her coffee down, it'll impress the image into it :-D Actually, there's a side job for you. Individualized tampers for coffee shops! Seriously, though, it's a work of art as it stands. Well done mate.

Mam Amheus thanks mam!

The infinity tool. You won't need any more of those for a while.

Watched this while having my morning coffee... at 1:30PM 😋 ☕👍 Absolutely brilliant work!!! I love the shine I get on some of the brass pieces I made, I want to try different bronze alloys soon. Do you make the bronze yourself? and if so what % of metals do you use? Cheers! 👍👊

[@JulianMakes]

Ralph Mourik cheers mate! No I don’t usually make my alloys but I will be soon. I have some bell bronze/cannon bronze to make next :) this is AB3 a special silicon aluminium bronze, the military uses it for submarine secret things due to its lack of magnetic something or other! It also looks lovely!

can u make a video about how do u make ur green sand and how do u rejuvenate after the casting please?

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

B-e-utiful... I haven't worked through enough of your videos to figure out your bronze source yet, are you brewing your own or buying it? If buying, where from as melting down old kitchen taps gives me a headache.

[@blainebolze1626]

Rotometals for the Copper, and Tin. Cheapest source I could find for high purity base metals. just my suggestion

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

@@blainebolze1626 cheers mate, I'll check them out

[@soratorus9649]

@Turbo Conquering Mega Eagle - taps are rarely Bronze - they are a Brass base , then generally Chrome plated

@@soratorus9649 Do you think Turbo Conquers is from the UK?? He did call me mate and say cheers ... ehhh could be Canadian

[@MeltandCast]

Looks wicked mate, I can see a lot of work went into that. Not easy sanding and polishing a cylinder... 👍. I noticed you using those Dremel sanding sponges, I bought some of those.... how long did yours last ? None of mine lasted longer than 20 seconds, I gave up... haha. Best wishes Andy 😜

[@JulianMakes]

cheers mate, yeah loads of time sanding and polishing this one :) i got a bargain basement bag of the sponges they were brown and green and something else, off amazon. They lasted ok for me. i use the brown polishing compound, i recon i only used 2 brown ones on this. (tbh i only used the rotary tool for 20mins)

[@blainebolze1626]

Beautiful Julian, I'm still using my 3D printed Tamp. I noticed while making a bronze trophy that grinding disks for Aluminum work very nicely, what are you using?

[@JulianMakes]

Blaine Bolze thanks mate, I’m not sure what grinding disc it is I’ll have to look, it’s probably a general any metal one

[@soratorus9649]

Where did you buy the really nice 2nd Hand Espresso machine from may I ask ? thanks

[@JulianMakes]

Hi soratorus! We got it on ebay. The sellers name is the_coffee_machine_guy, he reconditions them and puts them up on eBay, he was super helpful and a nice guy.

[@soratorus9649]

[@RoyalBard.1]

Absolutely hate coffee but that looks good

Hey Julian, I hope you are doing well and staying safe in these trying times. With everything going on I just wanted to throw an extra comment on here to let you know you are in my thoughts.
