This bronze Bison really turned out well. Not perfect but well. I will make some more and hopefully get some up for sale soon. Casting bronze is not an easy craft. There is a lot to it. Lost wax casting is one of the best ways to get a detailed bronze. Some day I’ll get a 3D printer but for now I do things the old fashion way.

    When I learned to cast, we would brush the wax mold in soapy water before pouring the plaster to help eliminate air bubbles. We also weren’t making anything quite as large and did not have access to a vacuum chamber.

    Very nice result. I was drawn to this by the title. As a dental lab tech of 45 years, I am experienced in lost wax casting. That's how nearly all dental work is made. A suggestion. Get a dental handpiece. They are not expensive, and are much less bulky than a Dremel. This allows you to hold it like a potato peeler, inside your fist, so to speak. Then use your thumb as a brace against the casting. You can work much more accurately this way, do very delicate movements. Good luck!

    Learned some more about bronze 👍 last couple of days since finding this excellent channel I notice that you try to repair with the tig welder…..might I suggest a smiths little torch, I just got myself hooked up with one and an oxycon machine, it is soooo fine for very small soldering I’m sure it would be good for bronze delicate fixes, esp with copper solder. My suggestion for a make would be a ‘wolverine’ or ‘snow hare’ jumping…..on wind blown snow of course.

    Saw it on Facebook and followed you over here. Looks awesome! What is material is your filler rod when welding? Bronze, too? You’re using a TIG welder.. I was not aware you could TIG bronze. I would have figured you’d have had to braze it with a torch.

Plaster paris, unknown brass/bronze mix, and a too cold mold. I don't have a way to vacuum cast either.. I'm learning slowly! I'll have a too long video tomorrow. Mentioned your channel, hopefully you'll get a sub or two.
