I love the fact you showed a first fail attempt. Thank you for reminding us to keep trying
I've studied jewelry and light metals processes at RISD... When filing put a small bowl or cardboard box beneath your cast object to collect falling silver dust. This is valuable to conserve. NEVER use a motorized rotary disc to grind it as it will waste much silver. Just be patient and file your object. Silver is soft. It shouldn't be that difficult to do by hand.
YOLO lol
Lol
Thank you for showing us your work! I'm really into DIY jewelry, but I was to scared to even think about melting silver. I learn A LOT today and I would love to see more!
Thank you for the tutorial! I appreciate the care you put in, most people leave their B holes sloppy and rigid.
Yes! More designs please. It actually looks pretty forward.
Thanks so much for sharing this- I haven't tried melting any silver yet but I am saving all my silver wire odds and ends with a view to trying something like this soon.
Thanks so much, I wanted to know how to do something smaller. And you definitely helped me to get a little more confidence in doing that. God bless and continue to make these videos
This video got me into casting ... now im starting a jewlery buisness just because i stumbled on this video :) thx !
Wow this is the A to Z very simple yet packed DIY silver making. Just wow!👍❤️
It's always interesting to watch people cast. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the tutorial dude! :) You make some of the best cosplay tutorials around!
Thank you for this. It makes me feel more confident about trying to teach myself to do this.
Thanks for your time snd sharing your skills and ideas
Best and easiest explaination as well as common problems shown. Thanks!
Nice mold. Makes for a nice charm for your friend. Thanks for the video.
"Stop it, get some help" killed me
Great video man and good on you for including the mistake, no ego and very helpful!
Very cool and straight forward video. Thank you!
Them the nicest “B” holes I’ve seen in a while! 🤤 Thanks for sharing Zibartas!
This was educational & entertaining! Thank You
Thank you for this! I'm casting my husband's wedding ring, and this helps tremendously!!
lightly burnishing the surface of the metal will help remove the tiny pits (porosity) and help get a better finish. you can use a slighty bent back of an old burr in your dremel as a tiny hammer to do this, you may need to round and polish it a bit.
Yes I would like to see some more cool 3d castings and pours such as a 3d heart ❤️ pendant would be cool to make for loved ones
This is awesome! You should do a video on doing a closed cast!
look at craftsman's channel. it's a hidden gem
I like the imperfect way you show us how to do also.
Really helpful, thanks ☺️
I've been wanting to make some jewelry so thank you!!! I always thought it'd be really expensive
Nah , only the really complicated stuff that requires specific tools is. For simpler stuff for hobbyists like us - a blowtorch and some casting clay is plenty!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Subscribed.
Amazing!! Keep going!! 🎉✌🏻☺️💯
Thanks...finally someone can teach ♡
I love learning this.
Now that was a perfect video!
Loved this!
Love it would love to learn more
Great video. Thank you
Awesome video. i wou;ld love to learn more. I subscribed and will be watching all videos
Nice work!
Never get discouraged if your “B hole” collapses!
Pumpkin King XXIII just as well he wasn't making the letter A. 😂
I intend on trying to make a simple mace head out of silver, partly because I think it's one of the few most practical ways to use silver as a weapon & partly for roleplaying reasons.
great Video! Thank you!
looks awesome
Nice work
Thank you, this was a very helpful video. You gave me some great info, that I plan on using soon! I am a new silversmith. My question is, I have lots of silver pieces that I need to melt down that are soldered. How do I go about doing that?
That was dope!
Great video
Very cool!
Great video !!!!
Great Vid!
Thanks you a lot for sharing details. Very interesting.
I'd try to cast signet ring with zinc for training. But can't melt bronze or silver with my propan torch..
“B holes”
"A busted B hole"
"B crack"
"One of the B holes collapsed!"
would you make the only flatware a man needs for his home (including a set that fits so comfortably in the hand any bum could master- fork, butter spread, spoon etc etc etc).
great video, thx
Wow what a great video although I am more of fabricator I have only taken one casting class and it was no where easy like this one is of yours. It involved all kinds of expensive tools . Love this I would like to give this a try. Is there a specific type if wax to purchase for this type of casting? You did an amazing job and I liked the one that didn't work out you shared that it was appreciated,
Enjoyed watching this casting process always been interested in it. I especially liked the timing of it, QUICK! Good job!
Can you use this same process for a chunky signet ring? Also looks like there is some shrinkage?
hehe keeping it simple! And it depends on how much material you need to remove to get a desired finish- I had to remove a lot on my project in the video- so it "shrunk" yes. For rings you might want to anticipate that and accomodate it in the mold making - or leave it raw after casting- then it will be 1:1 (just not pretty :D)
Good to watch cheers,it would be great to watch something with some fine detailing in the design
So neat. 👍
Thank you
Brook thank you soooo much if I wanted to add diamonds do you know how to that ??maybe make some holes before it gets hard?
You covered all major topics
thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks!
It looked like a tiny silver egg, when you made it wiggle lol
huh when have i heard that before
He said busted b hole 😂 further viewing of the video makes me realize although you’re being instructional and professional your sense of humor is pretty good 💯
Me looking through the comments to see if I'm the only immature one lol 😆
BABAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA 😂
Please would you like to make a detailed list of every single machine or tool what you have used in your inventory?
As well ass telling the name and putting the link where I can buy it please. Thanks!
I love this video 😂
I have done many melts of many different metals. Silver seems to be the one that gives me the most grief. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
great video id love to do this
Can you talk about safety/protective gear needed for this? Do you need a ventilator? etc.
Thanks bro, wanted to do some things but was hesitant
Not anymore
Hey bro I wanna know how would do like a pair of 4 dices next to each other with words in front ?
You can use tobacco ash to polish i dont know why it works better than just about any silver polishes you can buy as a non smoker i only found this out by experimentation but it is a handy wee tip if needed
That is really cool dude 😎 ,you have a serious skill with silver.
I would love to own a pair of Silver Knuckle Dusters aka Brass Knuckles.⚔️😎⚔️
This is such a nice tutorial! :D I hope I can try it sometime soon ^-^
I wanna do this too
How important is PPE? Should we be using particulates masks during sanding?
Great video. Glad you recovered from the busted B hole.
Thanks for the tutorial - you made it look so easy! I have a bangle I would love to cast in bronze. Do you teach anything like that?
I haven't tried it myself, but I think since the melting temperature is similar, so should be the process - it might be a fun thing to learn! :D
Really cool video -yes, please to more advanced tips and tricks.
When you buy sterling silver, what material do you buy? Silver casting grains or something else? They say that 1 ounce of silver costs roughly 15-30 dollars but I can't find it anywhere under 50. Thank you.
Nice video. What do you use to apply a small piece of silver to another piece of silver? Do you have a video on this.
I am wanting to make a silver cross. Incorporating like a western almost gold nugget design with family brand 5xd.any ideals on design and mold. I am totally brand new to this. Also I have silver from my dad's implants for his teeth. And some other silver. Silver bullion coins. Can this all be added together to make pendant cross. ? If you have time I would appreciate your input. Ty. Love your videos that I have watched so far.. ✌️
i have a skeleton key i want to cast in sterling silver. was trying to see if i could have someone do it for me but i may try to do it myself
Hi, I enjoyed this video! I am getting into jewelry design but sadly have had too many fails with hired companies either doing the CAD design or actually casting my items. I am looking into Rhino CAD design and buying a 3D resin printer to cut out a bit of failure on the end of hired companies, leaving just the casting work to be done by them. But then I actually wondered if maybe I should just do the casting work myself too. my designs will be complex silver and gold jewelry items, would I do best leaving it to the "pros" or would it be worth my time to learn and do myself?
Thankyou!
I guess it all depends on costs vs savings - when you're the one doing things, there's no support to call when stuff goes bad... stuff like quality assurance etc.. That being said there are a lot of benefits of being in charge of everything, too :) I'd suggest trying stuff yourself first, with minimal investment - and then outsourcing it if the manufacturing is way too complex :)
Great video. No nonsense. Well done. And punny. Lol
So if I had a wax mold of my teeth to make grills how would I cast it? I can't press that into the clay stuff it would just break.
Thanks a lot.
Glad to help!!!
Nice video
Amazing video. One question though. Why didn't you take something more durable than delft clay ? Is there any alternative options for more that one casting ?
Thanks to answer and keep up with the good work.
Because most everything will melt or go on fire from the temperate of melted silver… almost 2000 degrees. You can use the actual metal b or wax b to make the object again and again… trust me I tried to find cheaper options too… and ended up wasting time and money because this stuff is a science / art.
Nice!
Can you cast a ring with the one half or do u need to do both halves?
A company called venev makes diamond polishing compounds for cheap. I got 8 different micron ranges up to full mirror polishing for $12
How do you know how much metal to cast with?
Could you provide a new US link for the MAPP blow torch? The link doesn't work. Thanks so much!
I love to learn more items to make if it's possible l love to see more items please I am very interested
Where are you from? That's a cool tutorial.
How do you make the wax to make the object you cast?
Thank you. Question for you: that gas blowtorch, is that designed to work at any angle? I have a Bernzomatic torch that will sputter out if I try to point it downwards even a little bit. Nevermind, I see it's a different gas mix altogether and burns hotter than propane.
His gas has acetone added for extra heat. If a can is new or recently filled it has a good deal of liquid gas in it(LPG). If you tilt the can so that liquid comes out of the jet rather than gas it will get exciting as it vaporises in the air and ignites or may put the flame out following this. As the can empties and there is less or even no liquid gas left then this does not happen so much. Be careful with this liquid gas problem particularly if there is something near by that can catch flame. No flammables within a metre for safety.
What is the approximate cost of all the supplies needed?
What is that holder called holding the B pendant called when you’re sanding the B
Roughly how much for all the gear and stuff to have this workshop at home? Ball park estimate so I know how much one would need to have a workshop at home to do this
It's because you didn't pack the Delft clay hard enough, use a hammer to punch it down
