The chalk annotations have to be the most clever thing I've seen in a while. I like the way you think.

Great 👍🏼 job dude!🔥🔥 Those quarters look awesome 🤩!!

Great video. Guess we all have a fascination of turning metal into a liquid and back again!

Rolling that big quarter looked like a lot of fun.

chasing and casting are two different things, so clearly visible. I don't like copies of coins, but those silver molds were cool, I wonder where to find them. I would also like this for myself

I like the music intros. (and the rest too of course)

great work bro :) really nice looking coin :)

Doesn't matter if there were mistakes or not...if you enjoyed yourself, that's all that matters LOL Thank you for the video.

Good to see another vid! Keep it up!

Well done, silver is a mare to cast because the thermal conductivity of silver is 406.0 W/m K whereas zinc is 112..2 W/m K Hense, silver wicks away it's heat so fast that it's set in the runners before getting to the mold. You would have to make the mould out of something that can be heated or make the sand a lot thinner so the silver has less time to freeze. Love your work, it inspired me to purchase a electric furnace and cast my first .925 silver ingot yesterday.

Thank you. Great information here, I knew it had a high conductivity from playing with it in the past, but seeing those numbers paint a clear picture. That’s awesome, I’d love to see your first .925 ingot! Shoot me an email if you want to.

I commend your patience with the coin roll 👏👏👏👏💿

i wish silver didnt go crazy i wanted to learn how to make a forge and melt silver ...sigh someday

Should have gone for the style points and melted a bunch of pre-1965 silver quarter to harvest the silver for your replica, thus using quarters to make a quarter.

That would have been pretty sweet to do from some Constitutional. Thats about the only type of silver I haven’t added to my silver stack, and a 66’ is probably the lowest year I’ve ever come across in the wild. Maybe it’s time… Thanks Sean 👍

WoW!!! It did take many attempts. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have you considered lost-wax caster with plaster? My daughter used to do that with bronze.

Жыл бұрын

I’ve been wanting to get some more equipment so I can do better castings. One of these days I’ll make the investment 👍

You would know much better than I: but, for such a thin cast is possible to have thinner sand molds to lose less material? Or is that just dangerous and asking for the system to break apart?

@TheGrowingStack

3 жыл бұрын

I could have done thinner, and I wanted too. I need to make some new flasks though, but I’ve been a little lazy 😬

I think the issue is how thin those pieces are, I have a few of the 3" novelty coins and tried to cast a couple, but only tend to get the outside, as it's the thickest part.

Fine sift the pertobond that is against the pattern. Then fill it with the non sifted to fill in the rest of the form.

He's no lesser than Big. They're just two people with the same hobby, it doesn't have to be a war on who's better. There are similarities because he gets inspiration from Big. The only thing missing here is Big's personality, as it should be. Let this guy be himself.

Maybe not add too much powder 😜

I appreciate that! I’m not going to lie, it makes me smile big time. But I have to say, in learning from BigstackD and loving his work... I’ve learned a lot and created my recipe of 1 of 3 major things to do. Taking something and breaking it all down and just making ingots from it. Having nothing to breakdown and using stuff I already have to create something. Or doing both breaking down and creating something in the same process. I always try to make something, but some weeks a good idea of what to make escapes me, so I just melt something down and make ingots to give a fun experience of it all. Other weeks I get an idea stuck in my head and can’t let it go until I get it right(or at least “okay” 🙂) I love hearing that, but to be honest, I never set out to be better than him, I just wanted to play in his sandbox and do what he was doing so I don’t want to let you down sometime when I just melt a ton of ingots. It would be awesome someday to be invited over for melt. It may not ever happen, but one can hope... You’re awesome Goldie 👍 Thank you so much!

There's nothing wrong with melting metal to make ingots , it's just for me personally i don't melt anything down until i have a project in mind , then i melt and pour the project the ingots eventually turn into projects anyway. I understand when you have a KZread channel you have to keep up with new content once or twice a month and idea's become limited . i hope to one day experience that i'm working on it .
