'i dont know what im doing' honest statement that made me interested

[@maryoung1596]

I subscribed after he said he did not know what he was doing :) . I'll buy one. 😊😊😊😊

I have a bar of solid silver "soap" from my grandmother, she told me that she was using it in the 20's and 30's when she whent out of the house ... i don.t know if it works but i think is better than nothing.

[@TylrVncnt]

Silver is more effective than copper in this regard

[@ellissepennington7163]

I think your did great!! The"professionals" didn't know what they were doing until they practiced a whole lot to. They're was a first man who did everything. He learned by trial and error. Keep at it.

[@natureandhappiness3846]

It is a great idea. Hopefully, copper will be popular after this pandemic.

[@bryanst.martin7134]

Copper, like Silver is depressed in value since they aren't rare, but vital for industry, so as a commodity it is depressed. But always valuable.

[@juliaweber5026]

Or real silver for emergencies

[@4_years_left]

There is no pandemic, come on open your eyes

[@davidpotter3777]

Was just talking to my brother in law about porosity in casting yesterday, I used to use various indirect paths for the metal to flow trying to get all that bubbly crap to happen elsewhere sometimes a small spru from the end of the pattern back up to the entrance end of your molde can help vent off gases .? God bless you and your family aloha

[@racheldeatherage1512]

Ahhh Lucas, you crack me up! I love this channel.

[@cshula1]

...and it's just that easy lol lol 😂 Bravo for the hard work!

[@simonnelson7770]

Brilliant you are very clever

[@V13-m2z]

Hey you were really brave to do that! Hats off to you for your great idea and incredible effort! I hope you master the craft and sell them to peeps like me who would never attempt such a feat! Thanks pal!!! Good job. That was a fun video AND the music was perfect for the process. Stay well! 🌻

[@DW-pz4tz]

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@Carol-dw3iu]

You are a rock star!!

[@artistcarolinateresita7803]

I love it. I would buy it 😊 came out beautiful.

[@kdf525]

There. was a reason people used brass door knobs and stored/drank liquids out of silver. If you put milk in a silver cup and a regular cup and leave them out for a week the milk in the silver will still be good, while the milk in the regular cup will start to spoil after a few hours.

[@jagboy69]

Good to see you at this stuff.. Its ceramic shell that has to be rapidly heated to avoid cracking. Solid investment resists cracking if it's done right. I have to ask.. What did you use for investment material? Oh and make yourself some decent crucible tools before you get hurt. I'd like to see you cast metal for a long time. Great first attempt. You are going to love pouring bronze. Straight copper is a pain in the ass.

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

I used ultra vest jewelers investment from ransom and Randolph. It didn’t come with instructions so I looked them up online and miss read them. So next time I think it will go better and I need to get a proper flask. I did make a pouring shank for my bigger crucible but that will be my bronze crucible and my shank only fits that one. I haven’t used it yet. I spilled a crucible of brass with the shanks you see in this video already so I know you are right. I need an upgrade even for the small one.

[@jagboy69]

@@lundgrenbronzestudios I'm glad to hear that wasn't plaster of paris. I get sick of telling people that stuff makes a terrible investment. You probably already have this, but if not. products.riogrande.com/content/Instruction-Sheets/Ultra-Vest-Jewelry-Investment-IS.pdf Pay close attention to the burnout schedule. You dewax these low and slow. For a flask, you can just use a piece of steel pipe. Rio has everything you will need if ya don't mind spending the bucks. If I were you, I would grab a coupon and get a cheap vacuum pump at the hazard fart. You need to vacuum your investment after mixing and then again after you pour into your flask. When it comes time to pour metal, you have your investment UP to temp, PULL A VACUUM on it WHILE you pour in the metal... This is the way solid investment works. You don't have to spend 400bucks on a vacuum table. Watch david at thehomefoundry channel. He does this stuff in his driveway using steel pipe, a fitting and a vacuum pump. Remember, hardened, fired investment is actually gas permeable! When you suck on the end of flask, you are pulling air through the investment and it literally sucks the metal where it needs to go.

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

worldtraveler I did find those directions but I actually misunderstood the part that said 1g=1ml. I thought that was the ratio of powder to water. As I was pouring water off the top of the hardened investment I knew something was wrong. Now I see it’s the 39 to 100 ratio. I’d love to have a vacuum chamber. I’d really like to make a professional quality piece someday. I’m tooling up slowly though.

[@nicksolis3424]

That looks cool😄😄😄

[@bryanst.martin7134]

You might try chopped fibers mixed into your investment to reduce or prevent cracking.

[@bryanst.martin7134]

Don't get me wrong, but, it may be tough to break afterwards. Use sparingly at first, glass then carbon fiber. See what the results are.

[@juliaweber5026]

Brilliant

[@andresmsuarez5718]

actually i use copper fabric for my masks. i guess its more durable .

[@1943L]

Interesting video. Also just a small observation. Well manicured nails......so many times presenters do not have.

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

😆 good call. I’ll have to watch that. Sometime I notice my nails after it’s too late. Thanks for the advice.

[@benjimenfranklin7650]

I cut mine out of a bar with a hole saw . It's round and has a hole in the center. I think mine was less complicated than yours. You have to use what you got . Mine is 2 1/2 inches round.

[@starbeauty5109]

So smart make a lot and sell it i will buy😁

[@leonidmarkaryan2503]

Fantastic!

[@juliaweber5026]

He reminds me of the guy on chitty,chatty bang the inventor lol

[@mattjohnson7364]

Great ending! 🤣🤣🤣

[@hopepletting476]

What did u dip it in after pouring the copper?? At first I thought it was ice water or smtn but was it like sulfuric acid or smtn bc it made me so nervous

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

It was just water the quench and cool the metal.

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

It was just water the quench and cool the metal.

[@liquidSpin]

you're going to have to hold on to that copper soap for a few hours. Copper kills bacteria and viruses but it doesn't kill all of them immediately. It's a better idea to make door handles and keychain door opener hooks made with copper than it is to have a copper bar of soap. This was entertaining however~

[@TylrVncnt]

Exactly 👍👍

[@Joeypowers39]

Actually you are wrong copper kills on contact it just takes longer for some of them to die but once the contact is made it's over.

[@SDGunfighter]

Do you have more info on how copper is as effective as hand sanitizer?

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

Not scientific data. Copper tends to kill a lot of bacteria but it’s not an instant kill like an alcohol based hand sanitizer. I’ve never seen these types of bars actually tested to see how effective they are.

[@korgothkillings2032]

Nice jacket fonz

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

Haha. Picked up a leather jacket to protect my own leather from the heat.

[@tanghingtung5897]

Cute...

[@erikwithaknotac]

What brand wax and investment did you use?

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

I used Ultra-vest jewelers investment and microcrystalline wax. I don’t know the brand of wax though. I got it from a local sculptor.

[@martinlong2804]

Copper Penny does the same job

[@Thereno1is]

Nitration of Cu in Ak outside in winter was worth the tickets. But you know....

I home made copper loops to clean my nose during the coronavirus pandemic.

You mean you swab your nose with copper?

Copper is in fact Antimicrobial, hospitals are starting to use it in place of Stainless Steel

copper kill but not fast and granted it can take hours of continuous contact

[@evangreen2085]

hilarious! who even needs a shower? Just rub copper all over your body!

[@robertangel30]

Save yourself the trouble buy on amazon.

[@StellaCarey]

You're so funny

[@Volodimir_Druzhkin]

Copper still takes a decent amount of time to kill pathogens compared to soap

[@JohnSmith-be5py]

Дьявол, not if you’re rubbing with it which is the same thing you’re supposed to do with soap.

I have a great idea for a copper device that will significantly positively impact carona. Will you help me make a cast for it, please!?! I will pay you.

I’m a pretty novice metal caster. You might need a more experienced metal worker for something like that.

What about just using pennies??? Lol

Might make an interesting video to get views. But that and curiosity would be the only reason to do that.
