    I owned a bronze sculpture foundry for 25 years casting silicon bronze (95% copper) in 300 lb crucible. Put some folded wet newspaper on the plinth before setting the crucible in, it burns & ash will prevent them from sticking. Adjust flame (air/fuel mixture) to be slightly blue indicating a reducing atmosphere. A yellow flame is oxidizing or burning up some copper. All in all a great job! I was entertained!

    I reckon that you can split that size into 4, put your logo on, drill a hole in the corner and give them out for key rings, plus cheap to post. Get amongst it..... If you want!

  • @three-phase562
    @three-phase562 3 года назад +2

    You could look into a small CNC mill and machine the copper surfaces to get a good finish and then engrave your logo. You may be able to recover some of the machined copper as well instead of loosing it during the sanding process. Loads of options to machine all kinds of things as well.

    When you do a house rewire you should attach one of you ingots above, below or at the side of the consumer unit to give a personal touch to big jobs, and then recycle ♻️ their old cables. Great video again.

  • @nopaynenoparty
    @nopaynenoparty 3 года назад

    Get amongst it. I think just an ingot is better than key rings or placemats or whatever. Think they’d defs work as ‘merch’ and make the wire stripping more worthwhile in terms of time/money.

  • @rossl2544
    @rossl2544 3 года назад

    when you sand the copper throw the drill away and do it by hand keeping the lines straight and change direction on every grit change, also wash the part and change the water to to stop contamination from the last grit. by changing direction every time you change grit its easier to see when all the previous sanding marks are gone. cutting across the sanding mark also removes easier and quicker i find. also not much point in going up to P5000 as the polishing compound is probably more coarse than that anyway.
    also less compound on the mop as its the mop that does most of the cutting, by apply to much in one go will does clog the mop up and leave polishing compound all over your part (area that get covered with compound wont get polished as well)
    its a slow process polishing metals up to a mirror gloss though so expect to put some time into them if you want them looking nice

    Mr B - before you pour into the crucible - make sure you heat it through - perhaps leave it on the edge of the furnace for a few moments before placing on the floor - will help get rid of imperfections on the back side.
