With the melting point if the two being vastly different however, it makes sense that tungsten is more often alloyed with nickel or iron.

I think it’d be cool if they made a hammer (or something like it) with a bunch of big exposed bismuth crystals. It’d look like a cool video game item.

I can't lie, I'm absolutely blown away that your boss man has continued to allow all of you guys to use his shop, as well as his tools and water jets, his materials, Etc, for this long. I can only imagine what his first thoughts were after hiring Dan and Mitchell, then seeing all the shenanigans and bs they were getting themselves into on KZread in his facility and with his equipment. 😂😂 I have to imagine that there is a family link, that they are relatives, or something like that. I don't believe that a boss who had hired them and subsequently noticed that they were doing these things, would allow them to stay for very long. Of course, if he's getting a cut of all of the KZread earnings, then I could imagine him being okay with all of it. LOL. I also noticed that in the beginning a lot of their videos were being filmed at night, I'm guessing after the shop head shut down for regular business and they wouldn't be in anybody's way. Of course now, we can see they are doing it all during regular business hours. I imagine they get a lot of visitors as well, wanting to check out everything and see the water jets in person as well as the official quality testing tongue. 😂

That's pretty much the worst casting I've ever seen. It was awesome! Thank you!

In my construction class in high school, our teacher kept a record on the board for most strikes to drive a nail into a 2x4. 160. Was the record. Took the poor souls a while before they realized they were nailing directly into a bolt. It's a class for a reason, I guess.

You should definitely switch to greensand casting, and make some split molds. I'd also see about making a backyard foundry instead of using a pot and bench burner - it'll be faster, easier to clean, and safer too

Ok major improvements here but still missing the "weird uncle " that is Mitchel. But waterjetting the hammer and doing wierd shop things is what this channel is about!

You guys should get some Petrabond. It's perfect for casting AND for playing around with!!!

Yeah as others have said, all metals are crystals. You just can't see the crystal structure in most because it's so small and compacted. Look up electrolysis of copper, tin, or lead and you'll see some cool crystals there too. I mean.. to be specific, pretty much all solids are (or can be) crystalline or polycrystalline. Most metals are actually polycrystalline, meaning they're made up of a bunch of tiny crystals all bonded together, rather than one large crystal, as you can see with Bismuth. Silicon isn't technically metal (it's a metalloid) but it is crystalline. Carbon and Sulfur are both nonmetals but both have crystal structures too. Carbon crystals even have a special name: Diamond. Heck, even most compounds form crystalline structures, like Sodium Chloride which is just table salt, and disaccharides like Sucrose, which is just white sugar. Even fuckin rocks are also technically crystals. It's just how atoms arrange themselves in a material. The only things that aren't crystals are amorphous solids like glass.

yall have pumping out bangers recently thank you guys for all the hard work!

What a messy job. Much better off using ready made casting sand. You get an "A" for all your hard work. :-)

Major improvement here. Good stuff.

It actually looks pretty cool. It give some kind rare item that you can get in the game. I will love to have that as deco on my wall.

You should have warmed the tungsten up so its the same temperature as the bismuth, when molding

Anyone know what happened to the main guys?

The journey was great, the destination was most certainly better. Good job. : )

The highlight was definitely that banger of a line 'mind your own bismuth'

That bismuth looks crazy

Now make a giant nail and use it to hammer a hammer into a piece of wood!!

You really NAILED it on this video

Wow I wished I had a dad that supportive.

I have no idea how well it'd go, but for a bit more 'balance' between super heavy and super light, you could try casting an aluminum hammer head around a tungsten rod core, with the handle being aluminum or wood (idk which'd work better). It'd also hopefully not shatter instantly on impact.

During the casting, I would have gone for adding some kind of disc plate (preferably steel, but if Tungsten could come in disc form that would be epic) on either side of the hammer’s head, or perhaps even just the one side you wanted to strike with. That way you could have a striking surface that wouldn’t disintegrate on impact while preserving most of the ludicrous mass behind it. Of course, someone might have called you out by saying “You just made a steel hammer with extra steps!” And the purpose of your video might be to show that just because it’s heavy, it DOESN’T make for a good hammer. All the same, I like the concept and wanted to throw out a possible design choice I would have made to make it slightly more practical. Cheerio!

Hammers are already designed for the optimal size and mass for human use after thousands of years. There is a good reason why tool hammer are around the same weight around the world. The only difference with tungsten is the hammer head would be smaller. So it is indeed a hammer with extra steps.

That is beautiful. I want a reasonably unheavy version to admire on my wall.

The bismuth hammer looks like a Elden Ring weapon that scales with arcane and strength.

The old-timers (Jim and Scott) who handled the managerial tasks at the shop retired near the end of last year. Dan and Mitch were promoted and are filling the vacancies… Dan is sitting chief executive operator and Mitch is now local 69822 union president… Both positions came with much higher pay, but also much greater time allocation so the young guns are having fun with the channel rather than shutting it down entirely…

I dont think youre gonna see them anytime soon. We are not getting a single sentence of explanation on what happened to Dan and Mitch. They are making the same heavy mistake as The King of Random did; Drastic change, no explanation, everything starts getting worse. Either: 1) Dan and Mitch quit their job or got fired 2) Got bought out to work for someone else 3) Are in jail 4) Dan and Mitch want/need a break for an undisclosed amount of time (most likely) 5) The Shop went out of business and they couldnt afford to keep it running anymore so they put it up for sale on Craigslist and these people bought it. (Theory, based on a reddit post)

Wow I never knew water jets existed. And I watch a video you did the other day because you wanted to show what would happen if you put your hand in a water jet.
