Thank you for the process. Your angle grinder skill is impressive too. Best regards, I have learned a lot.

Great fabrication job, Lucas! That's marvelous.

Oh the little ADD edit was so me, I do entire projects before I remember what I set out to do. love the flask very cool upgrade....now to find some big square tubing lol

Very nice!

Nice job ... fun to watch!

Great job! I really like them!!

That's a pretty kickass flask, probably a lot easier to my than the guy with the ones you 3D print and then cast that require fancy taper pins. Definitely gonna try and find some steel square tubing now

I got it at a metal supply store. It was scrap and cost $1 a lb. It weighed 17 lbs.

If I ever get stuck on a deserted island, I'm picking him as my plus one.

You could use the left over half of the square section to combine with the flask you just made so you could have a larger flask for bigger castings

Looks good

WELL DONE GOOD IDEA MY FRIEND. I made my metal one not that long ago. Seems great minds work the same eh. Good post ! Mine is 4 x 6 square x 1/4 wall as it was all I had. A tad heavy has the same heat transfer as yours. Roasted fingers's, LOL

@@lundgrenbronzestudios Hi, Will we ever learn , LOL. I should have after welding for 45 years eh. I sure like your channel. I am retired now and found silver pouring and casting to help me save my mind after not creating for so long. Stop by and have a peek, Tell me if you like it please.

You weld slightly better than I do.

You are welcome. You should set up some page or some way that people can give suggestions how you can improve in different ways and then you pick what you have not yet thought of that might help you.

I've actually managed to do a dozen or so pours with 0 spills, but my flask is still getting burnt up, just from heat radiating off the crucible. Also, might suggest a way to clamp the halves together, I've heard large pours can make the top float slightly, creating more flashing you gotta clean up later

Yeah even on this pour you can see a had a bronze ingot on top to weigh it down.

We call those speed squares. Definitely handy.

Oh I thought the triangle ones were speed squares? Are they both speed squares?

As far as I knew. I had to look it up. Combination square. I always heard both called speed square. Always keep learning.

I'm a machinist, that's a combination square. speedsquare is a carpenters tool. That's one of the heads used in conjunction with two others typically, the center head and protractor head. Not used much anymore in the CNC age.

I got it at a metal retailer. The have a section of cut off pieces that they sell per pound. I just call it square tubing. But I just rummaged around their scrap pile for a pice it found that. It cost me $17.

@@lundgrenbronzestudios damn, good deal dude 💘 I'll have to try find something myself. Mine don't fit well and burn waaay too easy for a dude casting indoors 🙈😂😂

that square tubing must cost a fortune. Also stockholders often don't want to sell a small piece. You must buy a whole length ( 4,8m ). I cast aluminium one .
