How would you go about casting a nugget ring?

❤

I used casting my " Wax "

Very good

Nice video. But I'm confused. When you filled up the first mold, why didn't you turn it over and use that side, to press the ring into. It's usually perfectly smooth, unlike using the side you used. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for a lovely video! :)

Did you really say “casted”

I'm new to sandcasting. Every time I fill the mold with the delft clay and pound it down, the clay will "split" open on the mold. Usually it splits in a different part of the mold, that I'm pounding. I hammering the clay in fairly hard. Is it possible I'm doing it too hard? I just can't understand what's causing this. When I turn the mold over, the bottom of the mold is nice and smooth. Can you please tell me what could be wrong? Thank you in advance.

Were you able to season your crucible with that torch? Also do you know the max temperature you can get with that torch? Thanks

Hello dear, what is this sand called? Thank you

thank you so much!!! =)

Well that was disappointing, what happened to seeing the results🥴

Thank you for making this video and the last one. I am a bladesmith and figured casting would be a good way to make guards and I am also branching into making jewelry. I always find it surprising how fast metal pores are compared to water (I have only been doing it for a month; I am no expert). (I should not have bought it, but) I use the 1kg Tilt-Pour Electro-Melt Furnace for Silver, Gold, and more - 1 kg / 110V (North America) (it's the second most expensive to I own at $600+ us and worth the price). I bought it from Pepi Tools and its which is fantastic. It's nice since it creates an oxygen-free environment...and you dont have to remove the crucible to poor it. it also gets up to 2102F/1150°C and once it's hot, you can basically throw in your material, and by the time you have made your mold, it will be ready to pour. I have used so far copper/ silver copper computer wire alloy(as i used a bi-metal wire salvaged computer wire to make it) and brass pin stock for knife handles i have had laying around that as i hate using (ALWAYS wear a respirator when casting brass and do it in a well-ventilated envirement do to the zink fumes it gives off as they can kill you ) in it...brass is the worst to use as it leaves zink residue in the crucible.

Thank you this is the first i have actually looked into sandcasting after reading a book on the subject and doing some over the last month. ( i went with the The Complete Handbook of Sand Casting which has some good information but is from 1974 and more about green sand casting) you can make a sprue (a funnle shaped object) out of wood or plastic to create the pouring basin for your cast and you can use a bellows to blow out any sand left in it(i have not tried this yet).

Nice new to me holes for air escape

Great video! Would it be easier to break up the sand with a rolling pin?

With like 80%of people being allergic to Nickle why use that in a ring use palladium

Nice

Hi can someone tell me why my sand flows out when i make the air vents? How can i stick the sand in?

What kind of sand

Hi I’m just getting in to this as a hobby. How is the best way to store my resin bonded silica sand please ? 🙏🏽

Videos like this are why my foundry is so busy!

I do lost wax casting. If the sand is moist, doesn't the molten metal make a burst of steam destroying your piece? You don't preheat your mold? Thanks, Michael

good video thank you! gorgeous eyes btw

Hello, what type of sand is this??

Could you give us tips on what sand to use or make?

Hi it will be my first time casting silver how long do j need to heat the silver before i pour it in the cast

Lindsay...I teach Jewelry casting, about 8 different techniques, sand being one. Delft sand is very fine and requires more venting because of it. It is also fairly expensive compared to Petrobond, which is a bit coarser. We do get amazing detail with it. We also use an oxy-acetylene torch most of the time, but also use an electromelt hand-held furnace. Most of the time we cast in Bronze or Sterling. Muchas Gracias from New Mexico!

How does one “glaze” the crucible?

Great stuff Lindsay. Really enjoyed watching the vids!

Hi from Morocco Houcine

What can you use other than a sonic washer

hello, great video, but I dont understand why I have so much white smoke when I do it

May I ask is pewter good for rings?

Almoat 16 minutes 😢 ...

Can you use silicone instead of the sand

Thanks, I learned something new!

thank ya for this missy, ill be getting some sand casting equipment soon and itll be fun to see if its something im into 👍

Were did the ring go ?

Have you ever did a bracelet sand casting

Would it not be easier and "better" to rub the sand/clay through a sifter or a fine grater?

Hello very useful video what type of sand or brand?

Nice magic trick, went in a ring came out a coin 😂

Hi thanks for sharing, I would have liked to see mor of the casting as you removed it. It’s now 2023 hope you can remove or cover the power cable directly behind the area where you melt metal. A moments inattention could be dangerous Good luck for the future.

Hi there, thank you for the video- was wondering what sort of fire resistant material do you use to sit the mold on top of? Is it stone, or fire board or something else?? Much thanks!!!

I use oxy-propane. Propane alone is laborious and takes to much time. I use it with the multi jet long nozzle on the Smith little torch. It's ten times quicker and for you casting it'll be a game changer. It heats to 2650 degrees, propane is 1100.

You didn’t tap the ring first to loosen it?

You would be best using oil than water, also if you use the edge of the metal ruler instead of the thick edge it will flatten better. Also do it in sections not in one go and it won’t make ditches in the sand

Have you ever tried Nordic Gold?
