Nice job. I like the way u made the frame with a detachable pin in one of the corners. very convenient

Watching you mold stuff made me feel relaxed haha.

Gracious and disciplined handling of work.... Love it!

I suved after watching this video. Your probably the best caster I have seen and I respect you for it.

having seen the videos for 100k and 1 million subs plaques I have to say this is so much cooler than anything KZread could ever honor someone with.

What memories this bright back to me. I have not rammed up a mold in the foundry since I was in middle school metal shop in 1969. Lots of fun to see how things turn out. Great video!

Brian, great from start to finish. My only advice as an experienced bronze caster: casting with no further protection as leather gloves and helmet is really risky. Just a little gas explosion in the melt, a cracked crucible during transport from furnace to mould and u have a serious incident. Wear leather jacket, leather pants and strong shoes. It is just a short moment to wear these uncomfortable caster clothes, but u will really protect yourself. Keep up the good work. cheers Herri

just have watched all your videos and was really concerned how u started to cast. U take care for all the details, which is really amazing to see. I have cast a lot bronze, bell bronze, zine copper alloys in my live as artist in Germany. I have learned casting in Italy and saw also during 20 years some serious accidents. Especially casting in the open and not in a shop. Many part time caster oversee the danger of gas explosions and heat radiation. ( think of rain drops that fall into your melt. Jesus.... or especially lost wax casting when the wax wasn't completely burned out. That's a bomb. Luckily u are right now only sand casting, so this problem doesn't occur. Better be double safe. Please!!! U are casting alone, then u need to be fully concentrated, always... I live now since a long time in China and do other stuff like CNC and prototyping / designing. Any help or advice, just drop me a note :-). All the best... Herri

Bronze is hotter and therefore safer to a small extent anyway. Bronze will tend to bounce off you ( after burning the crap out of you ) while Aluminum is far more dangerous. This is because it has a cooler pour temperature, strangely enough. It tends to stick to you when it hits giving you a far more catastrophic burn. After sticking it continues to transfer a huge amount of heat into you. I'm not saying bronze can't stick, but aluminum is far worse. Good job and take care my friend, from a fellow foundry guy.

Friend your handwork is amazingly tidy, perfect, beautifull. go on, will be delighted to watch.

incredible how nice it turned out

A few days ago saw the same process by a Indian worker, no fancy equipment just his bare hands and brass from old vessels, and cast the most intricate idols, that's workmanship

the best technique I've seen on youtube overall. I learned a lot. What would you do differently to eliminate those imperfections?

Right now. Most CNC that cost more than a car now can do straight to the aluminum carving and no need to cast it..But his technique is far way human touch, than a machine touch and the overall finish product will and shall always be good to look at knowing how many precious hours and process of making it, that when someone saw it and ask "how'd you do that, was it by traditional way?" and then answered "YES" I guess the asking person would not believe it. great work there!!! Envy here, been longing to have such things, tools, and everything to make one...unfortunately, I was born with nothing. Plain and simple human being. :(

You can make it wider, it won't be as efficient from a sheet yield standpoint. You won't be able to do full 4x8 without a seam though. I found out that the reverse was true for me after looking at my spoil board. I opted for a slightly bigger than quarter sheet for the Platform. Anything smaller is useless, anything bigger is a waste of space for me.

Nice job, I wish you had explained the beginning as well as you did the end.

A few thoughts. The finish side of the mold cavity should face down when possible. The reason is any debris or dross will tend to float. If the finish side is down the debris will end up in the back of the plaque. It's not a big deal but, it helps keep the plaque face cleaner. Cut your sprue and riser holes before you pull the pattern. Use a sharpened welding rod to vent the sand in the cope before pulling the pattern. The deeper your flask is, increases the need for a slightly tapered rammer. All small things that will help. Other than that, good job.

Turned out very nice but your can control when you spray painted was making me cringe. Start and stop the flow of paint off the project, that way you won't get the heavy blotches. I noticed some of them when you did the final close up. Personally, I would have done it in satin but that is just me.

I've been researching aluminium melting for two weeks now and I never realised you could degas using sodium carbonate! I read up on the method that industrial foundries use to degass, using helium argon or nitrogen, and I figured that was something I wouldn't be able to do because I'd have to buy welding tanks of nitrogen and a special degassing wand that wouldn't be available in a small size for these sorts of forges anyway. So glad to have stumbled on this video and found that there's a far easier way to do it!
