How I make Flask AND Custom Aluminum Knob Cast
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My easy way of making sand casting flasks with cheap tongue and groove boards. And casting some custom knobs for an upcoming project. The advantage to use tongue and groove boards is that when locking togheter they help tremendously to line up the two part of the mold, I made all my recent flask this way and never had misalignment. The tabs on the side are there to lock the two mold parts togheter to prevent mold separation caused by molten metal pressure (probably not needed for a small flask like this one but better safe than sorry). Spray pait of contrasting colors works better than lines or numbers on the sides for me to prevent putting back the mold togheter in the wrong way.
Wooden strips nailed on the inside helps to keep the sand inside the mold for flask that carry some sand weight. In this case was needed only for the thicker part in my opinion.
NOTE: I forgot to show you one step, I added a couple screws on each corner of the flask to add rigidity to the frames. Screws lock way more than nails!
I usuall write a detailed index of operation and materials, but I think in this case everything is pretty much self explanatory. If you want to know something in particular ask and I'll do my best to reply!
Or better let me know if I should I list everything anyway, open to suggestions! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Reacently i watched some crap on how to make kinetic sand thnx to youtube flawless recommendation system-now that is kinda lame and for kids.BUT lightbulb came on ,he was mixing cornstarch with small portions of water and that made it sticky -what if you would add cornstarch to your casting sand to make it less prone to braking?

dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my brother lately :)
The real question is what are these knobs going to be used for. 🙄

I love how you ask what THESE knobs are gonna be for and some idiot feels the need to give examples of what they COULD be used for. Keeps the comments entertaining...

Your videos are so inspiring! I love these casting vids!
Great job !
It's like watching myfordboy - love it! 👍
Excellent !!!
Cool bro, nice work
Perfect!
Great project! Really love the design of the flask! Though it needed two times, you made some fantastic knobs!
Very nice! I like how you kept in the attempts that didn't go as planned. Final version turned out great though.
Thanks for the new video😊
Another amazing custom! Great done black!!👏👏👏👏🇮🇹💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥

if you use cura to slice your parts, you can enable "ironing" to smooth the top layers, it leaves a perfect surface finish without any lines!

Why did you use a hand saw to cut those boards when you had a table saw?
@BlackBeardProjects

I don't have a crosscut sled yet, need to make one! For just four cuts it's quick enough by hand. Also, I think one should never cut pieces that are wider than longer on a table saw without sled!

To get that awesome sound from the cutting!
Nice to see someone else put a box together with each side both underlapping and overlapping adjacent sides - it’s the easiest way of making a box that does not rock - see my recent “journey through moulding boxes” video With cast in inserts I find it helpful to heat the insert to about 300 deg C to drive off any moisture and oils etc - you can either put them in the mould hot and cast immediately or, as I do , let them cool to room temperature put them in the mould cold without your skin touching them and pour at your leisure…..

Clamped with tape, and nail thru the tape. Nice!!
Thanks for an honest and learning video. \bravo
I like the idea of using T & G boards to make the flask, makes alignment a breeze. Nice work. Gonna have to try this on my next build.
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
I love you!!!
👌👌👌
Hello like 189 thanks for sharing good work and beautiful result soon
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
You should sell those on your website!
👍👍👍
Really cool project. You could fill the recess around the letters with colored epoxy to heighten the contrast.
Beautifully done! Maybe part of the problem with the first casting was that the bolts caused the aluminum to cool down to quickly and it couldn't flow as far as it needed to?
Parabéns!! Nesse vídeo há várias lições, entre elas podemos citar o princípio da persistência!!
Круто брат 🤘💪😎
i was looking for a liquor flask.. whoops! but now i want a knob!!!
Very cool casting project. Maybe I will try out the concept with the inserted screws, I like this idea. Those Knobs a not a easy casting objects, I woud try more round corners and a more conical shape of the knob for better demoulding. To avoid layers of the 3d print being visible on the surface of the finished object you could apply a thicker varnish to the model and sand it down. A smooth surface of the model makes the work easier. :-)

Очень хорошо сделано и выдумано!

is there a video where you made that punching tool at 2:49 ?
Black Beard Projects AKA Mr Speedsaw... can you come to my place... I have lots of wood to cut, and you doing it would save electricity. What a clever idea - tongue and groove to accurately and easily locate the drag and cope. Love the machine-gun style sand ramming.
megusto mucho

How did you round (draft? fillet?) the letters like that?
I love you man! I'm always checking for new videos, but I gotta ask, why did you use a handsaw to cross-cut the boards then take them to a table saw to rip them? Why not just cross-cut them on the table saw then rip them :)
What speed do you put your videos to
I see Lidl tools I press like
How did you learn casting?
Me gustaría que me hicieras algo así para estampar leather , con mi marca personal, estoy emprendiendo una pequeña empresa de cosas hechas a mano en leather
The fun of casting, some you win, some you lose. Next try without the added sprue cans on top, just make a funnel from the base sand. The heat dissipates so quickly. Thanks for sharing, Cheers mate

The material shrinks a bit as it cools down and by having some extra material this effect won't damage your casted knobs
If you could,what brand sand are you using with the mold, and what particle count? Also, are you just tamping the sand down with a hammer? Thanks.
Who needs an air hammer with his speed 😅

We do sand casting in jewelry making too 💪🏼 by the way my letters are BP 🤘
hey why not to use plaster of paris for cqstinf mold
Measurements, reasons for doing the steps, materials a long the way would REALLY help..
Very cool! Did you graduate in any school or University to do this ,my friend?
Very Nice Sir. I've tried that. It's not easy. Your results, are quite amazing.... Well done.
