Casting an Ant Colony in a Stump with Molten Aluminum (Anthill Art Cast

  • An amazing aluminum cast is made of an ant colony built on the side of a large tree stump. This is the possibly the craziest cast I’ve ever attempted and definitely the most challenging. This is a field ant colony (species Formica pallidefulva) with a single entrance tunnel right up against a large oak stump. Around 22 lb of aluminum was melted and it ended up taking around 10 lb to fill the colony. I didn’t know how exactly how to go about getting the cast out but I knew 1) I can cut wood and 2) I can dig dirt. So, how hard can it be? Turns out, it can be really hard.
    I started to dig and cut initially, before deciding that doing that was going to be too difficult. Then I tried burning for two days and that seemed way too slow. I was posting my progress to my Facebook page and someone suggested drilling holes to make vents in the wood to target certain pieces, which I tried. Then it occurred to me that if I drilled into a section of wood from two angles, I could be fairly sure I wasn’t cutting into the cast if I cut down the line of the drill holes. These ants don’t tunnel in wood and the colony is only in the dirt pockets, so if I’m drilling and I hit dirt then I know not to cut to that depth. I don’t show the drilling much in the video but I’m doing that before most cuts. That’s why you see so many holes in the wood.
    I actually didn’t plan on keeping the cast in the wood until the very end, which is why I wasn’t worrying too much about the damage I was doing to it. All for the better though because it would have taken much longer and probably wouldn’t have turned out as cool if I had planned to keep it in the wood. Toward the end, when I’m cutting on the back side of the cast, I still didn’t know if there would be a piece of cast sticking out on that side, once I saw that it was all contained well within the wood, I decided to keep it in the wood.
    The cast has two main sections: the piece that comes out of the front and a more hidden piece that runs straight down in a vertical void in the wood. I only discovered that second piece after washing it.
    It took ten days from the pour for the cast to be removed from the ground, around 40 hours worth of work. Some of that time was setting up cameras and even more of it was me scratching my head though.
    Figuring out the mounting was a major task for me. I settled on drilling 3/4” holes on three sides of the wood and inserting oak dowels, as close to horizontal as I could. Then I built the base so that it catches those oak dowels and the cast can sit upright and be stable.
    The colony is around 20” deep and the weight of the aluminum is around 10 lb. The total weight of the wood and the cast was 38 lb last I checked (it’s still drying and getting lighter).
    I wasn’t quite sure to what extent I should clean up the wood but I sanded it a little bit and tried to remove any splinters. I started to plug some of the holes but didn’t like how that was working so I just left them. I may do more work on it as it dries. I’m not too sure what’s going to happen as the wood dries and splits but I used Pentacryl to help preserve the wood and have taken other measures. We’ll see!

    Man. I am 69. I have done everything from file clerk to hefting trash to pest control to rehab equipment repair in the field, including custom stuff. And I don't know whether to:
    congratulate Mr. Art on having the stones to BEGIN this, given the odds of experience, or
    compliment him on switching tactics, or
    admire the steady hand/execution
    commiserate with him at that point wherever he said, "OH spit, maybe I bit off ...", or
    applaud his foresight in having the right tool no matter how weird the cut or chop or hole or ...
    bow to the sheer determination it took to conceive of the cast in a continual 3-D view, for 359.9 degrees (kidding) so as to not chop/cut/wedge/drill the piece in such a way as to make it worthless, and all the effort wasted. or ...
    complain because IMHO, the cluster of drill holes, at a minimum, should be all roughed out, ditto for some of the projections, etc. Though I can see, also, how after a time you're "too deep in the forest to see any trees" with a freehand project like this. It's beautiful.

    You know this can be a good way to educate people about invasive species. Fire ants can be very bad for the environment because they are easily transported to areas that are not meant for them. Fire ants are good at thriving too. They build deep colonies into the earth and even inside wood. They use the wood to farm fungus for their colony to eat. The ant queen lay's lots of eggs too. My community has had issues with fire ants going inside electrical outlets causing the electricity to stop working because they chewed the wires. We have a pest control spray and bring everyone bait traps. I buy my own bait traps now and I don't have anymore fire ants. 👍

    I was looking for something on wood ants and this came up. Am I really getting this right… would there have been live ants in this or is it an empty nest? Surely you wouldn’t be killing wildlife? Tell me you are not.

    For a few minutes, I was thinking you could burn the remnants of the wood from the casting, but guess having it still part of the casting gives it a unique look to it after all which is not entirely unpleasant. Nice job.
