Why would anybody dislike this! He's always so jolly and excited he spends lots of money on this. Just so hater can come and be jerks. He puts effort into this , like c'mon guys

[@aminelaareg2472]

Kiyguo the Artist all those dislikes are are grant Thompson "fans" that think he should be the one and only

[@joes9987]

i like both grant and kevin :c Can't all fans get along? Spread positivityyyy

[@VarietyEntertainmentStudios]

joes9987 true, they are both good channels with similar content

[@zakirhussain6683]

Kiyguo the Artist so true he don't have to do this but he does so cut him some slack he does it in his own time and spend loads of his money he earns and you disliking it

[@jackofsometradesjack]

maybe cause dislike =/= hater. a dislike is a critique and tells the channel it can do better.

[@ExperimentarEnCasa]

Exclent project Kevin! Really love how it turned out. Best regards :D

I like how you managed to fit a television on the front of your kiln.

[@electronicsNmore]

Looked like a fun project. :-) You put a lot of time into it, and did a great job. I wonder how long the heating elements will last at 1400 deg F. Thanks for the links!

[@TheBackyardScientist]

+electronicsNmore thanks it sure did take a long time. Don't even get me started on making the plaster molds and the Burn out schedule. The heating elements? I think they will last. I guess they are steel tubes with Nichrome wire through the middle insulated with magnesium oxide. It won't get as hot as nichrome elements I could wind myself. They are 18 and 22 ohms. If are used lower ohm heating elements I bet I could get the temperature a lot higher.

I made an ashtray for my mom in ceramics class in high school. The teacher refused to let me fire it in the kiln because it was smoking related. So I decided to try to fire it in the oven at home. I had noticed that the glaze liquid in class looked and smelled just like Elmer's glue. I coated the ash tray in glue and fired it in the oven at 400 degrees for 4 hours. It actually worked perfectly. The glue dried clear, shiny and smooth, just like glass. The ashtray made a nice "tink" sound when tapped so I know it worked.

[@LeeMcC123]

I'd love to see more on this type of casting. Hadn't seen it in action before, very impressive.

[@jameslehman4331]

I can barely replace a lightbulb and this dude is making a kiln out of an old oven. Kudos to you!!

[@dpyp]

your projects ARE sensible on contrary to other channels which explain stuff that we cannot even get to see

[@johnsanchez8029]

Dude I appreciate the video. A while back I disassembled an oven to scrap the metal and kept the heating element. Was very hesitant because I wasn’t sure if they were tough enough to hold up. But now I know. Thanks again man

[@shpongl]

Really awesome project. I'd suggest pre-heating moulds before casting and use cone shaped risers for increased pressure. When i worked in a foundry we never poured into anything without risers.

[@kevinjones9785]

Well, now he's the front yard scientist

[@thisstuffido9141]

I built a similar kiln in a barbeque grill shell for annealing glass. Just wool on the inside though, no bricks. Fun times. I like the idea of using an oven because of the door and square shape. My grill shape wastes a lot of space. Shout out to HWI! I use their Versa-Tech MW 55 for hard-facing and I love it. Very durable. My local distributors are some cool guys too.

[@imajeenyus42]

Really neat project! I'm surprised at how hot it got, considering it's maybe only 2kW maximum. A proper kiln that size would be something like 4-5kW. BTW, those heating elements aren't happy operating at high temperatures for a long time - I used to use a cooker element as a crucible furnace, but it burned out after half a dozen melts.

[@baqcasanke]

[@ChronicBongitis420]

I wish I had seen this video a few months ago when I was remodeling my kitchen. Looking for a source of ceramic fiber insulation and had to pay a butt load for 5 ft. I put it between a dishwasher and a stove. Works great my dishwasher hasn't been affected by the stove.

[@gamerbrian1433]

Isn't this exactly what Linus tried to do and miserably failed?(Not the oven part, the 3D printing and casting part)

[@JohnD201]

Sort of. Linus tried to do aluminium casting, like what happens in this video. However, the difference arises in what they were making. It looks like here he made a lower receiver for a gun, while linus made the heat sink. It is an important difference as the space between the heatsink fins make it extremely hard to cast, while the larger overall size of the receiver allow for easier casting.

[@TheBackyardScientist]

I haven't seen that video but yeah a heat sink would be extremely difficult to cast without some kind of vacuum process. Pretty sure they are just machine from a solid chunk. That is a lower receiver I made but.. it's just going to be a prop Halo gun :P which may or may not end up shooting a 40 W laser beam.

Could I potentially used this solely as a foundry? I really don't want to spend 500+ dollars on a foundry if I don't have to. It seems as if the oven would be extremely hot just to be around when it opens.

[@TheBackyardScientist]

+Shadow Runner it could. It melts aluminum easily. It's easier, cheaper, and quieter to use than a gas foundry

[@Chris-jo1zr]

but I bet it destroys your electricity bill.

[@Kevin-yg8fe]

Instead of using a clay graphite crucible, I have seen people use fire extinguishers. Do you think using a steel bucket would work also? Or is it just too thin?

"Now that it's my pool I don't feel like pouring molten aluminum in it". What the hell man, if the previous pool was NOT your property you should treat it with even MORE respect than your own property.

You can use masking tape as guideline when cutting with a cut off wheel. Works pretty good. Easy to see and protects surrounding paint. Remove after filing.

definitely just keep building your main channel. This was good content and opens the door to more videos and possibilities

[@RamiShreds]

TheBackyardScientist I personally perfer more experiments. But you have a huge following so I'm sure a sizeable amount of people want videos like this so they can try out their own experiments! Another channel would help keep both camps happy. Keep up the great work!

[@alcapone5791]

No, 99% of viewers will not try this at home. Anyone who tries this at home already had the intentions of doing so before watching this video. I like watching things like this because i will never go out of my way to transform an old oven into a kiln. Its kinda like watching "how its made"

Al Capone Fair enough. But this video hits a different niche than his other videos. So a different channel might make sense.

I checked the MSDS for that stuff. Theres no evidence of it causing increased cancer risk for occupational exposure, however it does still cause mesothelioma in laboratory animals with significantly higher exposure. That said wear that protective gear whenever theres a chance of particles being released, during construction, cleanup etc. Especially if you haven't sealed the oven over the cement.
