Metal casting instructor here with a some tips on quenching: 1) You want to dip it fully underwater in one go instead of slowly lowering it in. And don't take it out until there is no sound or vibration at all. 2) You can put a garbage bag around the home depot bucket before filling it with water. When the bucket gets filled with investment roll up long tubes of brown paper or cardboard and stick them down into the bucket. This will wick the water away and make it evaporate faster. Once it is more paste than sludge, just tie up the bag and throw it in the dumpster! Stick them down into the

Wow. Amazing advice, thank you so so much! I wasn’t sure how to ever dump the water so I just never have🙈😂 THANK YOU!

Breaker stuff: Breakers are there to protect the wire. They are sized with the wire, the larger the wire the more amps it can safely provide. While you are still building down there it might be a good idea to get some high amperage circuits installed. Even though it's not too complicated to do, it's best to hire an electrician as if your house burned down, you insurance could be voided if you didn't have an electrician do the installation. Calculating your needs: For a 30 amp breaker on a 120 volt circuit, with the wire length (through the walls) of less that 50 ft., you would need 10 gauge copper wire, if it goes longer than 50 ft. you would need a thicker gauge of wire (the longer the wire the more the resistance). I recommend against using aluminum but that's a personal bias. A 30 amp breaker would serve a typical home use electric dryer to give you a sense of capacity of a 30 amp breaker. Check your equipment specs for the amperage drawn during peak draw (highest wattage). Congrats on doing your own casting!

Video editor here. Your videos are very instructive. Something that may help you is to watch some videos on jump cuts. If you get rid of the jump cuts your videos will be 100 times easier to watch. Keep up the great work.

As far as the breaker, use different outlets so you don't overload the circuit. Place the oven on the opposite side using an extension cord. Leave the other components where they are. Bring the oven as close to them from across the room as possible using an extension cord. You need the casting machine and melting metal close to each other. You can take the flask out of the oven and walk to place it in the casting machine. That will solve you problems. Don't use anything that draws more than 15 amps inside your house. The breaker that is tripped, does so to prevent your wires from getting hot, catching on fire and burning your house down. That tripping, is not a bad thing, it's a good thing.

I would also add that she should not plug all three devices into one power strip, but especially do not use an extension cord to power high amp draw devices as the added resistance from drawing that much current over a long distance, will require even more current, eventually tripping the breaker. Had a similar issue with a compressor in my garage years ago... Was powering it off an outlet, through a 20' extension cord and was constantly tripping the breaker. Moved the compressor close to the outlet, so that I could plug directly into it. Problem solved. We hope to build our "dream retirement home" in a few years and part of that build, will be a workshop for me with several high current circuits for using tools and metal casting equipment. But not everyone has that option...

Great video! Looking to getting into metal casting like this very soon. Lost resin from 3D prints for hobby subjects, but may even get into jewelry making with my wife for something to do in retirement. Looking at the same casting machine you have, there's cheaper equipment out there, but buy great equipment, and buy it once. I commented to another comment below, but I'll repeat it here... To avoid tripping the circuit breaker, try to isolate the three devices onto different circuits if you can. High current draw equipment shouldn't be on the same outlet it's just too much current draw (obviously). Using a power strip isn't helping either, neither is trying to power all that equipment through an extension cord. Try putting one of the devices on a separate circuit, like the melting pot or burn out oven and the remaining tools on another circuit. Position them so that they're close an outlet and you can plug them directly into the outlet, rather than rely on an extension cord to reach one. For safety reasons, I hope by now you have dedicated workbench for all your equipment, so you're not working on the floor. Also... When working with blazing hot metal, try to avoid doing so in bare feet, with shorts or a skirt on. Hot metal is dangerous (I've done some blacksmithing with a friend) obviously. Molten metal is much more so, you're young. You don't want to live for the rest of your life with big ugly burn scars on your body. Protect your skin and eyes! Thanks for sharing your first casting experience... I can't wait to start doing the same.

Good for you! I’m in the middle of building a furnace and doing it all for the first time, this was inspiring!

It sounds like you might already know this but just in case you dont, those heating elements in the burnout kiln have full wall power going through them so def be super careful with the tongs!

Reading advice of others, I see a few issues.. Regarding power. First do not run extension cords. These machines draw huge power and should be plugged in the wall outlet unless you have a heavy duty rated extension and even then they are not meant for long periods. Your kiln should be on a breaker not used for anything else. You don't want to microwave something, make toast or run your tea kettle. It would not cost much to have power run just for your projects. Keep a decidated spot in your panel with a breaker for just your machine. I have a kiln too. I ran a 220 to the garage just for that. ( all differ) Power dropping when you are vacuuming is unfortunate lol. Good for you trying out new stuff at home.

There she is with the 411! Fabulous video. Suggestion: shorter sprue (wax) wires - the blue wax = less metal needed and less pressure needed to fill. That will make a big difference when you are making a full "tree". Woot woot! PS. did your metal calculations include a percentage or amount for your cast "button"?

I just finished taking a casting course today at a nearby university....and I was told that when using the kaya cast, when you're on the investment setting, once the bubbling starts, if it gets too high, just grab the glass and give it a shake. The table is on really strong springs, and shaking it back and forth and side to side can easily pop some of the bubbles, so you can have a bit of control. That way you don't have to release the pressure, just take your frustrations out on the glass (not literally, obvs).

I am very happy to see you working on casting silver jewelry, I also have 1 set of casting machine but haven't started yet. I hope it can motivate me to get started. thanks

Tip#1 When vacuuming the investment, if your bowl is not big enough, while it’s expanding, just release the pressure off slightly for an instant as needed to prevent overflow, repeat if necessary until it returns to normal volume. Tip#2 try steam de-waxing, with a cheap $30 steamer, steam out your wax in under 1 hour, this will keep your oven clean and allow for an accelerated burnout cycle, it also burns cleaner with less fumes (won’t work with resin) Tip#3 my accelerated burnout cycle is as follows: C01 300 T01 5 C02 300 T02 25 C03 800 T03 10 C04 800 T04 20 C05 1353 T05 30 C06 1353 T06 90 C07 1353 T07 -121 I then let it cool naturally with the door closed until it reaches pouring temp 900. Hope that helps! I love LWCasting.

Oh yeah and about the breaker, if you’re going to run both ovens at the same time make sure they are drawing power from different outlets, the breaker is tripping because you probably have them plugged in from the same outlet. Just distribute the power draw from multiple breakers.. like from either side of the room or a different room altogether using an extension cord

@@MiteraMade thank you for the awesome video, glad I could be of some help. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve that you might find useful, I recently picked up an air compressor, and I was curious if I shot air into my mold after burn maybe it would help clean out the ash and particulate, I just tried it and a whole bunch of white powder shot out of the mold like a rocket, thankfully I was wearing ppe, but it worked out quite well and I got a cleaner casting for sure. I do a lot of 3D design and 3D printing, I make silicon molds of my 3D prints and do hot wax injections to get my wax patterns, this way I avoid costly resins. I just followed you on instagram if you ever want to chat, or need some more advice. 🤙🏼

Your melting furnace / burn out furnace is running about 14 Amps each (approx.)(see your spec. sheets.) and your vacuum pump system is running about 6 Amps on the same circuit, So approx 20 Amps, Most likely the circuit you're using in the house will be about 15 Amps. That is if nothing else is on that circuit. Two ways to go, 1. The simplest way would be to not have them on the same circuit. Vacuum on one and the furnaces on the other and (do not run the furnaces at the same time) you are so close to the max of the circuit breaker and NO you can just change the breaker to a larger Amperage, This could void your house insurance/ start a fire in the extreme cases. 2. which I would consider the best solution, Once you have your workshop set up have an electrician come in and run a separate circuit for the furnaces. If you are renting the house you will need to get the landlord permission. and it will cost you some scratch. If your workshop is where you videoed it should be easy to run the new circuit. Also think about ventilation as well.

I am jewelry brand owner that focus on polymer clay and 14 karat gold filled wire. But I’ve been trying to expand in casting, but I’m extremely nervous and I feel like I cannot get it right. Watching your videos to get inspired ❤

Try not to bounce the flask into the vacuum chamber and before putting the flask in the oven clean the investment on the outside of the flask and if necessary smooth the investment in the button area with a tool (remove any sharp investment edges ). Keep things clean. You can remove any loose particles of investment in the button area by running it under water for a few seconds. Loose particles of investment will cause porosity. Check the temp of your water and the investment. Warm it up or cool it if necessary.

Contact a licensed electrician. Tell them what equipment you have & they can walk you through your electrical service. Check your data plate on equipment & manuals to see what the total amperage draw is. When your breaker trips, that means too much power is being drawn. Power strips & extension cords on your equipment is a big No No! You can not only damage your equipment, you can have a house fire! I’m so impressed with your work!! Thanks for sharing your journey.

@@MiteraMadeSpreading the electrical load to other breakers is the correct solution. But one thing to be careful about is making sure you use heavy duty extension cords that can handle the load. Any equipment that works by heating up draws a lot of power, and needs a heavy duty extension cord with 3 prongs, not just a 2-prong cord that you would use for a lamp or TV.. Here’s a good rule of thumb: if an extension cord is getting too warm to hold comfortably, it’s under-rated for the load, and you need a thicker one. Good luck!

Hi. I'm curious - How long it took to cast them in total ?

I have read somewhere that the hard angles work better actually. since the metal will first hit the bottom of the chunk and as the level of liquid metal rises in the chunk it will start to fill the branches. Not the other way around. Also when dealing with airborne toxins like fumes and fine particles it is good to also wear safety goggles and ear protection alongside with your mask. Some companies bundle all three into single packages.

Advice. Don't partially submerge the flask when you are quenching it. Sink it straight to the bottom. That steam you can see in the video contains the dangerous component you wore the mask for, when you were mixing the investment. You didn't wear one when quenching. You don't need one when quenching....if you plunge the flask to the bottom. The water will protect you. Don't breathe steam that's released from the hot investment and the water. Rather, use the thermal shock to release what you made out of the flask. Yes, the noise it cool, but not getting sick is cooler.
