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!

[@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.

[@Scorpiove]

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

[@ramvxxr867]

This gives off incredible Grant Thompson energy! Amazing!

[@johncurry997]

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

[@rachelg552353]

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

[@Thewulf56]

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

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you!

[@CuriousEarthMan]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@adriennefraschetta5391]

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

[@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.

[@franklinrussell9791]

Nice work with the sand casting.

[@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.

[@danielwendell542]

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

[@4realGTFOH]

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@GeraBallesteros]

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 ❤️🦖🇲🇽

[@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?

[@romeovidalrodriguez7754]

Y acá estamos...

[@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??

[@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]

How much was he asking?

[@michagrill9432]

You could say you grabbed my attention 😜

[@heirofthedog1]

Awesome as always. The “Berlin specimen” Archaeopteryx next?! 😉

[@PicBenc]

Really impressive 😉👍

[@charitybrown4274]

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

[@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.

[@GForge1967]

I might as well just keep pasting my original comments because it’s always bloody AWESOME nice work

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@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?

[@CaptainPantys]

Lovely.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I bought a claw as a birthday gift for my son. You might consider setting up a Patreon to help offset the cost of the videos. I don't think you would have too much trouble getting some patrons

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).

Why don t you use Nordic gold alloy for make these castings

[@robinson-foundry]

I can, I just prefer tin bronze.

[@Charles-7]

it be cool if you would make a Spinosaurus tooth out of sliver, cause i would so buy one if it's made of metal

[@darkdruid83]

Another great vid mate. Will there be a second batch of claws? looks like they went quick. could be a good second income.

[@robinson-foundry]

Thank you! Yes there will be.

[@scottwalker9877]

Would you consider selling sprue tools and runner tools? Id like to get some of those.

[@brettc5386]

1:04 it shows what kind of printer it is

[@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.

[@Kyuubi9110]

If you just leave it the way they came out of the mold they look like drones XD

[@arandomguyonyoutubewhoismo7251]

Imagine: if rl velociraptor claws were made of bronze and they spawned with bronze plated armour.

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

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.

You are selling those for way to little. I was expecting $50 at least. Keep in mind, under valuing your own work also hurts other artist because you undercut everyone's actual value.
