Thank you for all of the nice comments! The claws all sold within 12 hours! I truly appreciate the support. Because I want more people to have the opportunity to purchase, I’ll be working on casting some more this week for those who missed them. Be sure to check the link again in a few days.

[@josiaharcoren6829]

I'ma want 1 soon

[@andreipendle1778]

Dude, your castings are top-shelf. Congratulations on the sales!

[@einstienbc]

I got the last of the original batch. Just came in today. Outstanding work!

[@adambrown2626]

I’m surprised they took that long... Excellent work.

[@betafishjeremy7454]

Now if only these where based on a real velociraptor and not jurrasic park. They do look great though.

[@Serbianguy432]

Excellent in all aspects - craftsmanship, videography, narration, and editing. Just a pleasure to watch.

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you very much!

[@Scorpiove]

Great video, I love your narration and detail. Your voice is very soothing, and you have really mastered metal casting. :)

[@TheFieldLab]

Great idea. I am casting Deinonychus killing claws to sell to the tourists that come to Big Bend National Park in SW Texas. Interesting fact about these dinosaurs - Velociraptor remains have only been found in China and Mongolia while Deinonychus remains were found in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Oklahoma.

[@NickPaulsen]

You should print all bones for a whole velociraptor. That could be such a cool project to watch, but also in the end very cool for you to have.

[@johncurry997]

They looked cool just the way they came out of the molds.

[@ramvxxr867]

This gives off incredible Grant Thompson energy! Amazing!

[@rachelg552353]

You have great attention to detail in your projects. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

That was brilliant! So many ideas watching the inspiring textures, colors and shapes. You did a great job! Thank you!

[@unseenabyss2824]

Utah raptor was used in Jurassic park movies but the name velociraptor sounded cooler so they went with that despite it being smaller. I work at a steel foundry and this is fun to watch. Thanks for the vids

[@Merennulli]

I know Utah likes to claim that, but the books and movies use deinonychus. Utahraptor wasn't described scientifically until literally the same month the film hit theaters, long after it had been shot and even longer after the book was written.

[@adriennefraschetta5391]

Got my claw today. Looks great. Thank you for making a good product..

[@Thewulf56]

Those claws really did look good, very nice work on them.

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you!

[@leisongivangomo4478]

This is cool and I have not even watched the whole video!

[@jayp.7197]

"velociRAPtor claws" absolutely love it omg- Jokes aside these look amazing, good job!!

[@zauffee192]

These are absolutely beautiful, you've done an amazing job on these. If you're interested, innoculating your bronze with a small amount of PhosCopper will increase fluidity for much finer/thinner castings.

[@4realGTFOH]

These would be cool on a necklace

[@omna1]

I had an idea to make fossil casts a few years back but only came to building a forge recently, great minds, really like your attention to detail, not many people know that raptor claw size fun fact, true jurrasic park fan, well done and all the best.

[@danielwendell542]

They look awesome and I'm glad to see you making excellent products!

[@kainaaguiarferreira4351]

I comment Just tô help the Channel, i really apreciate your job

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you!

[@Merennulli]

The velociraptor size issue in Jurassic Park was less movie magic and more an issue of writing choice. Michael Crichton worked with paleontologist John Ostrom who was basically the world's foremost expert on deinonychus. After some time working with it, Crichton apologetically swiped the name "velociraptor" and applied it to his otherwise accurate (for the time of writing) deinonychus. The movie was based on deinonychus, but producers decided not to update its appearance with the new consensus that it was likely feathered.

[@keopa9212]

Your methods are very important and informative

[@kelkanwallen7567]

Those look awesome 😎

[@scottkeasey5390]

I bought one, can't wait to get it!

[@isabelladestegonzaga5529]

Ich hab vor dreissig Jahren solche Klauen aus Gips gegossen und kunstvoll bemalt . Die Dinger wirkten, auch wegen ihres realen Gewichts, wie echt:) Aber aus Metall sind sie natürlich haltbarer :) I cast claws like this out of plaster thirty years ago and artistically painted. Things were, also because of her real weight, like real:) But made of metal, of course, they are more durable :)

[@michagrill9432]

You could say you grabbed my attention 😜

[@teamSHTF]

Nice work! I hope you put a maker's mark on them!

[@MrRogsmart]

Nice work. Charge more for your work. You put a lot of time and effort into production. There is an old quote that goes something like, "The artisan is worthy of his hire."

[@vincedibona4687]

[@KrakenCasting]

Awesome job! I had planned on doing velociraptor claws after I saw your trilobite video, but now I'll have to think of something else. XD Nice video, keep 'em coming!

Bro I really love your videos, I have seen them lately and I am completely hypnotized, normally I don't comment much and less in English, but I just wanted to say that I like them a lot and that curiously I was just thinking about the size of the claws of Jurassic Park when you explained it, at that moment my mind exploded because I felt like you answered me hahaha Greetings from Mexico ❤️🦖🇲🇽

[@tolberthobson2610]

How does that epoxy 3-D printer work? How is it just able to 'pull' printed parts out of no where? Usually when I see 3-D printers they involve an extruder and print the parts from the bottom up on a solid platform. But this printer seems to 'pull' the part out of the liquid epoxy. I can't visualize how something like that would work??

[@rickburris6164]

Are you able to pour the unused photosensitive resin back in the container and use it again? What is the cost factor as opposed to filament media?

[@charitybrown4274]

Great Work as always!! Those are Awesome!!! 👍😁

[@KIDPRODIGY69]

Ill buy one form you, however I want it to be made of 24k gold. Is that something you can do if I pay the extra money?

[@kelkanwallen7567]

The velociraptors were the size of a larger dromeosaur called deinonychus (spelling). Velociraptors are actually the size of a medium sized turkey or dog.

[@PINNER0921]

Hey just wondering if you sell anything else online?

[@apollowellstein188]

With your foundry furnace, doesn't the flame damage your graphite crucible? I've seen videos where it cracks it (NileRed's gold video iirc).

[@W4ABN]

Fantastic. Nice work.

[@firebirdgaming4695]

how did you make the thermocouple

[@SalvasSalvage]

Great video. I really Like how they turned out. New sub here. 👍👍

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you!

[@Thelegend-gt5lb]

I’d love one for the lad

[@TKTrooper]

Are the tools you use for removing and pouring the crucible home made or bought? If bought could you provide a link, but if home made would you consider maybe doing a video on how you made them?

[@robinson-foundry]

They’re home made. I may do a video on the things I use/made for the foundry.

[@TKTrooper]

@@robinson-foundry I really hope you do, i think they will be helpful to a lot of people. I have seen many metal melting/casting videos, and you can always find questions about the tongs used. It's hard to find a good practical pair online and for a affordable price for just the hobby caster. One of the best i saw was by a guy called Brian Oltrogge. He did say he was planning on putting his into production, but then never did.

[@jessar2512]

such a shame to come here 4 months to late to see them already gone :( will subscripe and hope you will make more or another awesome casting later :) good job and looking forward to more :)

[@Furyataurus]

The bigger claws belonged to Utah raptors, velociraptor sounds cooler though. ;)

[@drxym]

Shouldn't you cover the printer to stop the resin reacting to the UV in the room/sky?

[@Marc42]

Mesmerising! :))

[@ZensPlaceyt]

Make a whole dinosaur out of bronze so the people of the future will think that was some kind of relic from the past.

[@user-gv4nt9xu8e]

Can you reuse the sand and what about the blackened sand?

[@scottkeasey5390]

The short answer is yes, casting sand can be reused. However, rejuvenation is often required to ensure the best result possible on castings incorporating previously used sand.
