Metal Casting | Lost Wax

[@guildsgarage]

Thanks for catching the error in relaying the units. It is supposed to be meters cubed. Luckily, Al new what he meant and did melt and pour the correct amount of brass.

The amount of talent and craftsmanship in this shop is impressive. Very cool to see the behind the scenes.

Great tutorial! Your video popped up on my feed from my own channel as a jeweler, where I only mentioned LOST WAX and your process popped up. I throughly enjoyed the whole video. You brushed me up on the math. Missed placed that math formula long ago.💡 I haven't casted in years! I loved the technique you used to melt. I always used a torch to melt in the crucible. You way seems cleaner. My old KILN is just gathering dust@65years old. Great show man! Great detail. Thank you4that detail!

[@wheimsickal]

Just discovered this channel and really enjoy the cast and production value! But most of all the great information about a topic that there's not many good channels on!

[@ryanbarker5217]

eh? there are tons of lost wax casting videos, so many that if you can't figure it out after watching several then you probably shouldn't be playing around with molten metal anyway, lol.

[@aluminumcastingsandcasting7761]

Lost Wax process, it is really very interesting. I didn't know the process before your video, thank you for your sharing. You know much casting process, i learnt more from your video

[@LutefiskSavage]

Another good conversion technique is simply to measure the volume of wax of sprue, gates and objects, in a graduated container of water. Then make sure you have that volume of molten metal to pour into your mold. counting ball bearings or other small objects in the metal of your choice which can be added to the container of water for calculating is a handy super simple practical method of doing this. if weight is still needed, you can simply weigh those ball bearings afterwards.

L❤VE IT.

[@944tim]

nicely done. maybe sometime in the future show the finished product on the vehicle intended.

[@EraYaN]

The calculations at around 6:53 would result in the unit g^2/cm^3 not cm^3. You should divide the mass by the density to get the volume. After that you do multiply. It's always good to check your units, this can help spot problems. You would have gotten 441 grams of brass.

@8:45, the piece of paper he lit on fire when it started spinning around inside there it looked like he had not noticed that there was a mouse when he the flame and the mouse is running around in circles trying to get away from it!!! LOL

[@TheBookDoctor]

Your units are wrong. Should be meters cubed, not squared, around the 2:00 mark.

[@wheimsickal]

He wrote meters cubed right there on the paper.

[@wheimsickal]

Hey I just noticed 6:40 he says "centimeterS cubed" when it should be "centimeter cubed" haha what a dope hey do you wanna make a big fuss about it together?

[@matostruck]

Very good job. I just want to ask you a question. Is it possible to make the front drive sprocket and rear idlers for a german Tiger 1 tank in 1/35 scale in brass, aluminum or steel using the same investment molds you used? The circumference of the drive sprockets are about the size of a quarter.

[@dahmanus2002]

you made me remembering the days of jewellery, and the mistake you did is in the minute 4:03 is you didn't retun it to the vacuum chamber to extract the bubles, and i use to mix some soap and water on another cup where i emerge the project in, cause the soap on wax will help the extraction of bubles, try it, and you'll be happy of the result, good luck, and good videos.

How fascinating, especially in your business of very old, classic cars where it’s often impossible to find any old parts. Anyway, what a great show. BTW, how tough is it to find craftsmen (sorry, ladies; hope that does’nt make me a sexist pig), or can you train your help. Dave in Phoenix Arizona USA

[@atumautomation4095]

Love your video, thank you for sharing, Do you offer 1 on 1 tutorial for a small fee ?

[@flyerphil7708]

For your information, it is a furnace not a foundry.

[@kennedy67951]

What kind of investment Plaster do you use for the lost wax process? Thanks for the upload.

[@Anthony-zc2lm]

It’s regular plaster of Paris … make sure to vacuum out air or details won’t be as nice. Can vibrate out bubbles reasonably well if vacuum unavailable

[@kleenrite5550]

Great,

[@kanhafan3841]

Palaster ke sath kya milaya hai

[@Frogmobile52]

Just weigh you wax model and multiply by 8.5 for the brazss weight... Good video nonetheless...

[@jimkaletaBuffalo]

Man just eye that shit up.
