Came here to say this. I was thinking hydro dip when u we’re talking about this project on the podcast.

I was skeptical at the success of powder coating a kettlebell when you gave me a shoutout. The curing starts when the kettlebell reaches PMT. that means that mass of metal has to reach 400 if that’s what is called for, at least on the outside. Also getting the powder on the underside would be hard on the setup your using. You may need to use a hook. Still came out ok. Also, did the chrome call for a clear coat? Last thought. Check out PrismaticPowders.com they have 1,000’s of colors. You may find something more to your liking their.

You could try electroplating, or just a chemical bath. I had a lot of fun as a kid dipping everything in sight into copper sulfate, leaving a layer of shiny copper.

boilled linseed oil and heat to blacken it. Brett is the man

I had no idea you could transfer brass like that, fascinating. Also this is the best demo I've seen of the Displate mounting, pretty clever system with the magnets.

This is tight!! That original epoxy finish was ugly 😂😂

Aye wassup man.

Copper plating might be interesting given the COVID situation and what I’ve read about copper’s properties.

Cool stuff Ben! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

That brass lay down was so cool!

Cool process, I like the brass look. I can’t wait to see your artwork.

Probably already on your radar, but electroplating would be cool. I think copper would make a great additional color / finish for this set, not sure if all metals can be electroplated together though so there might be some research involved in that.

There is also a high rated comment on this video that discusses brush plating as a first step instead of using the paint he uses. I think his later videos refine the process but i don't think he did a dedicated video so I couldn't point you to a specific project where it was used.

I will say, copper plating iron is a little more involved. You need to plate in nickel first.

The brass wheel plating technique is amazing.

Впервые вижу такой профессиональный и технологически сложный подход к реставрации гири. Это было круто 👍🏻

May be some acid etching with ferrocloride and vinyl stencils would look cool.

The brass trick is awesome.

Thank you for the video. Why did you remove the bondo? Is there a way to fill in the pits? How do you create a thick, smooth brass coating?

My favourite finish is graphite powder rubbed into a base of gloss black spray paint, looks like Beskar from the Mandalorian

@@lecobra418 what temperature does "hot bluing" happen at? i would assume it needs to be red hot? i wonder if the oven in the video could work.

I'd love to see a method that showcases a way to highlight the weight lettering. I did a refinish myself with general black, then light on the front-face facet and then hand painted the lettering. The casting was pretty rough, so my hand lettering ended up highlighting the sloppiness of the cast. It works but I wouldn't say I love it. I'd love to see what ideas you have.

I had never seen that brass wire brush technique...so cool! For the third - you could go Mike Clifford style and hydro dip it?!

I did see on their FAQ's that they don't recommend in a wet area as the humidity may effect the magnets.

The cast iron needs to get up to about 700F- 800f for this to work properly, more importantly you should understand at what temperature bluing occurs on the metal you plan to add the brass to, it will stick better to a blued surface. You could put this on a grill and heat it using hardwood branches and charcoal. Use a alser thermometer to get the temp up. I would rather use a hand brush than a rotary, the speed is not helping you at all. The wires melt at the tips so a gentle brushing over a properly heated surface is many times more efficient. You can buy a box of 20 brass brushes for like $10. Another thing to note is that this is an iterative process. You can build layers upon layers of brass. Brass is Olygodynamic which means that it holds its own electrical charge and kills pathogens on its surface when left idle, takes about 6 hours or so. This is probably a better way to utilize the brass rather than coating it in a finish.

The chrome powder coat may require a smoother surface to show up as chromed. Real chrome requires the metal to be polished to a mirror shine, otherwise any defect will show up.

Balls of brass son!

Maybe play around with a patina and rust on the last kettle bell and clear coat over it. Clear powder coat is nice...

Thank you for the video. That brass transfer is interesting. Please be carefull with those long hairs hanging next to running angle grinder.

Video sound levels are low. Had to crank up the volume. ... Brass looks really good!

I recently made a kettlebell out of plywood, maybe paint it to look like wood grain?

You should use vinegar and steel wool to make it look ratchet\worn AF. Then do a quick wipe and clear over it.

You should season it like a cast iron skillets.

A mirror finish would be so cool- think Anish Kapoor or Jeff Koons works. Or something crazy like glow-in-the-dark.

Flame spray?

How about blueing? It might not be called that but I mean that blue-black finish that goes on gun barrels.

Cover it in epoxy with pigment added

Do you still own a stake in Maker Brand? I have heard other youtubers getting in trouble for promoting products they have a financial interest in without disclosing it. Either way think the brass kettlebell turned out great.

Why not cover the third cattle bell in red shiny liquid rubber. Looks like a cherry with a handle.

Let the other one develop a good rust then seal it in :)
