Melting pure silver │ Casting fine silver skulls │ .999 silver bullion │ Metal casting │ ASMR

I will be melting pure silver 10 troy ounce bullion bars into little human skulls. To start, I designed/sculpted a simple human skull ingot using Blender. The skulls are designed without any overhangs to allow them to be removed from sand without breaking any away. I printed 10 skulls on my Elegoo Saturn resin 3d printer. Using petrobond I created a a simple open mold and then poured in molten silver. The skulls weigh roughly 2.5 troy ounces each.

I definitely prefer to hear your voice. Your voice is absolutely golden

[@XYZdude00]

I second this, now that it is absent I am missing hearing his voice as well

[@robinson-foundry]

I appreciate it. I’ll continue to make my normal videos. However, these will allow me to make more videos a month while I work on more complicated projects.

[@justincraig398]

Take it easy Bradley

[@allisongoings9092]

I LOVE the sound of 10oz bars clanging against each other. Such a beautiful sound.

[@Mistertbones]

Sort of a BigStackD inspired video, with no commentary or music, just melting. Usually stuff this small is done via lost-wax casting, but you did a great job sandcasting them.

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Yes, its a simpler format but it will allow for more videos. I'll still continue to make my normal videos though.

[@alfonzeenrojas1418]

Wow so cool. Midweek treat!! Just what I needed for hump day.

Great job Seth! Can’t wait to see more content from you. Thanks for the video. 😀

[@marlac1334]

Awesome video!

[@TheGreatest1974]

Those are cool!

[@Paperghost]

Loved the process and outcome, especially the incomplete skull which looks the scariest and fiercest of them all. Thanks for sharing.

[@andreipendle1778]

Striking how each skull had a distinct 'personality' by being cast in its own mold, great job! I watch a lot of casting channels and your content is top-shelf. Keep it up man.

[@mysilverjourney]

Thy came out great

Ooooh the unfinished one is SO cool!

Awesome!

[@briankachelman]

I just found your channel today and had to check out this silver skull casting!!! I need one of those in my life!!! I love all things skull related.... Plus, I do my own castings too.... but on a smaller scale. I use a homemade foundry and it is about half the size of your keg foundry. Good stuff!!

[@SilverScorpion]

Really enjoy your videos

[@soundmindtv2911]

3:36 I feel like if I tried this, the whole block of sand would go, *thhhhhhhhhhwwwummP!* and fall right out on to the table! 😂 These are friggin awesome. I really want to try this. Gotta order that little foundry kit your recommended before.

[@captainjerk]

Sweet silver skulls buddy! Love all of them! :D

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! So do I!

[@davidcahan]

That's amazing to see the silver boiling like it's water. I've never seen that before.... I kinda like it with the black still in the eye sockets. It's rather nice looking that way

[@dontask8979]

The short pour was even very cool.

[@meltingipswich]

Very nice I haven’t worked with silver yet. It look very easy to work with. Results where fantastic good job

[@woonsockettruthseeker9009]

Great pouring. Damg. 😊

[@moodykrazy1302]

very nice:) Even looked nice with the Burnt petra! on It. Keep up the good Vildees 👍

[@andyf1235]

Would love a video explaining what fluxes you use for each metal or your process for getting metals ready for pouring.

[@Mr-Mojo92]

Once again love ♥️ the video But oh my God is the silver skulls cool God yes I absolutely love the Silver skulls shiny but so beautiful😁✌ Robinson Foundry awesome vide A big Thumbs up for me👍👍👍👍

These are awesome! You should cast a saber tooth tiger skull for your next project.

[@jmpattillo]

Did you pre-order the new elegoo cleaning station? Looks like it will be a good match for the Saturn.

[@alston523]

Pretty neat...💀💀💀

[@angelalane8660]

The partial one looks like it's submerging into the water.

[@jakobhalskov]

Super cool and great inspiration for me - I just did my first melt in my new gas furnace :) Btw what casting sand are you using?

[@Bazhen2012]

petrobond

[@jonathanclark7444]

was this on the first try? Those came out insanely well

[@john-lucdiazirizarry4524]

Perfection! I would love the skulls to keep that black inlay within the eye and nose sockets because of the vivid detail and personality it brings out. Not to mention it reminds me of the goonies 🤣😂 great content as always!

[@robinson-foundry]

Thanks! I agree with you. Some contrast would be awesome.

[@michaelgreen9866]

I can see the advantage of using a gas furnace, the printer, is the program difficult to use ? Great job and very informative !

[@patricklaverde8438]

Why did you print them inclined? I don't understand about 3D printing or casting, but I love your videos

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Printing at an inclide can help increase detail as well as improve the the chances of having a successful print.

[@atmosrepair]

Wow that 3D printer is sick! I wonder if there is one able to print casting wax directly? At home we are using the lost wax method of casting items of hand carved wax, and pouring individual gestobalite molds. I have been interested in vacuum molding, to make more items to set up, but this sand casting you're doing is extremely inspiring! Great stuff

[@larrybud]

Resin printing works by exposing the liquid resin to UX, which hardens it. There's no way to do that with wax.

[@atmosrepair]

They are very cool, I think they were sick with the deep dark eyes oxidization.

[@raymondbrown1428]

Would like to hear what you did with the resin. What two did you mix and why please

[@davidbyington1104]

Can I ask which clay you use in this video? Thank you!!!

[@atmosrepair]

Brotheri! Very cool to find this channel! But the silver bullion bars were pretty nice too. I suppose if you had used casting grain silver, it wouldn't get as many views or interest? Anyway, awesome stuff! Subscribing now, and going to watch many of your vids.

[@larrybud]

Can someone explain to me something about resin printing: Why aren't the skulls aligned with the build plate so that there's no support structure?

[@iiinicky6224]

why does the mould catch fire when you start pouring in the silver?

[@brokeguyshomestead6227]

Where’d you get the crucible furnace?

[@HawkWorley]

Those are pretty neat! Just needs crossbones to make them perfect.

[@moodykrazy1302]

[@tomsrandomness]

What was that printer and material

[@areloharel]

what software do you use??

[@reviewithme9913]

You don't need borax nor casting grain to melt it?

[@MiniMoto0098]

Wait, when you mixed those resins together in the beginning, what would’ve happened if you didn’t? Can you make tie dye 3D prints that way?

[@reviewithme9913]

Can you do the same with gold bars??

[@beaumont9072]

I have a few silver bars and I’ve been collecting silver silverware for a long time and I think I just found what I’d like to do with it because I love skulls 👍🏼 America 🇺🇸 💪🏼🦅

[@stevebaumgardner5809]

Do you sell any of your work?

What is that awesome toy that you used to make the skulls for the mold? That thing is just what I need.

It’s an SLA 3D printer, you can get them on Amazon for a couple hundred bucks. You probably know already, but I though I’d answer anyway.

Ah, unconscious Saturn death worship. Great.

[@matuza1020]

What kinda of printer was that on the beginning? I've never seen it before, how it prints out of a liquid and a prense? Lol

It’s a resin printer

there's a LCD screen under the bath and a UV light, the resin hardens with UV light and each layer is "exposed" with the pattern on the LCD

imo they looked cooler before brushing off the black

[@adriennefraschetta5391]

The skulls turned out nice, but if you darken the eyes and the nose they would look so much better

[@jacobshearer4690]

Eyes look better dark

[@wufiyu]

zbrush ?

[@4422011]

Those really are fantastic! I can't help but wonder what they'd look like if you applied a liver of sulphur blackening finish, kind of what Silver Meister on KZbin does on his projects. I bet it would have a really neat effect.

[@kaynefryday1251]

Have you ever dropped one down the sink hole while washing them off ?

[@atmosrepair]

If that ever happens to you with a ring, you can pull the trap off and get it right back

love the video, but it's never really right for me if they haven't been quenched on a ice block. XD
