Making a SOLID BRONZE T-Rex Tooth │ Metal Casting

In this video I will be sand casting a replica of a real Trex tooth. This is the largest Trex tooth ever found. The casting weighs 8 pounds and is 15 5/8" long. I melted the bronze used to make this casting in my home made furnace.

Great work again Seth now you just have to build the rest of him

[@dominic.h.3363]

It's extremely likely that was a her. Largest ever found, and in nature, females tend to be bigger.

[@secretname_gaming]

😂😂😂😂yeah

[@paninisinabox]

That is pretty sweet. A wood stand with a brass tag would be an awesome addition

[@WilAdams]

This step by step is simply fascinating. I mean, I love watch a man work with his hands--car mechanic, construction worker, hunter prepping his catch, it doesn't matter--but your vids show a calm assurance, like your hands could do this task without aid from your brain. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamienoonan1186]

Very cool video 👍👍👍👍

precise work indeed.10/10

really great representation of the artifact, beautiful piece..... thanks

[@lordmacabre]

Way cool!

[@rachelg552353]

Great finish on the tooth.

[@supergiantbubbles]

I love your work.

[@benmakepeace5759]

That is a thing of beauty

[@mrkinggodzix1513]

Idk if this means anything to you, sir, but I stumbled upon your videos while suffering from a pretty brutal headache and watching this was almost therapeutic. So, thank you

[@robinson-foundry]

I’m glad you liked them and they helped you! Thank you!

[@SheRexGram]

DINO POWER! 🦖 🦖 🦖 🦖

[@DragonAtelier]

Great cast and finishing. Good job! I noticed you have a really nice heat screen on your shank 😉

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Yes, its top of the line! 😂

[@DragonAtelier]

@@robinson-foundry I was thinking why did tou make such a heat shield - because I didnt notice one on your previous videos 🤔. Did you burn your hands or other failure ?

[@robinson-foundry]

@@DragonAtelier the heavier the crucible is, the closer I have to put my hand to hold it securely. I have burnt my hand through the glove before so the shield is crucial for longer pours. Not so much on shorter pours. I'm going to make something nicer looking soon. It works for now. Its amazing to me that only a very thin piece of aluminum keeps the radiant heat away.

[@DragonAtelier]

@@robinson-foundry aaa got it. Thats what I was thinking. Me myself use proper shielded pouring gloves cause the same - I have burnt my hands couple of times 😆 You can see them in my videos - top is a layer of aluminium shield.

[@carlaj1972]

Looks really nice thank you for taking the time to give us the knowledge so we can make our own greatly appreciated

[@robinson-foundry]

You're welcome! Thank you!

[@vincedibona4687]

Pretty freakin’ neato.

[@Thewulf56]

It turned out really good, They sure have a deep root on the small tooth.

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Yes they do.

[@jackicomber8534]

You need to do a raptor claw!

[@KrakenCasting]

Awesome casting! Why not add the tin first? It's not going to boil like zinc would, and the liquid tin (in theory) would transfer heat to the copper faster, thus resulting in a quicker melt.

[@rodrigogongorapinto588]

Great job, this tooth is over 30 cm

[@russellmartin8942]

Seth I love your videos. I have learned alot from you. But I am still having failed castings. Wish you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

[@heirofthedog1]

Awesome. Next... Velociraptor claw!?

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Yes I will be doing those.

[@heirofthedog1]

@@robinson-foundry Sweet. This and of course the Meg teeth are my favourite pieces.

[@ThiccboiSalmon]

I would love to see you attempt to cast sockets! I have had some real difficulty with them, and it would be interesting to see your take on it.

[@robinson-foundry]

Sockets for bolts?

[@ThiccboiSalmon]

@@robinson-foundry As in for spears or bronze age axes. Where you have the two sides of the sand mould and a third component that you cast around that is the negative of the socket you wish to make. They are really tricky to get right and there are many ways of suspending the 'core'. I used this historical method to make a socketed garden fork.

[@robinson-foundry]

@@ThiccboiSalmon Oh yes that makes more sense! I’ll give it a shot sometime

[@DragonAtelier]

To make the patina you used K2S (pottasium sulfide) or K2SO4 (potassium sulfate) is good also ?

[@Pinkielover]

It's amazing how long the truth Root is The actual exposed tooth in the mouth was only about 6 or inches long,,, The rest is root

[@sinephase]

curious why you don't use a professional mold release?

[@Gainn]

Makes you realise why there are no fossils of dentists from back then... 😉

[@TKTrooper]

where is the tooth model from? Also what is the protective finish you used to protect it??

[@dragonskater013]

No disrespect, but why are you wearing a respirator? You're in open atmosphere. Is it just an extra layer of protection?

[@geroschorch1365]

do you know how healthy these fumes are? even just the burning oil from the form sand?

[@ikatekeda6267]

rather look the fool wearing more than I need, than age unable to breathe cause I didn't wear enough.
