Oh my! Did you ever bring back memories from some 30 years ago! I, myself began my goldsmithing career by building a small kiln large enough to fit a small crucible. The book I was working out of said the investment should be about the consistency of sour cream....so, I bought a small tub of sour cream, dumped it in a bowl, and stuck my bare hands in it to memorize the consistency. I will say it worked. I put my casting project together; put it in my little homemade kiln, dumped some silver on top of the flask, and melted it with an acetylene torch. The method I used to force the silver into the mold was a big, raw potato, cut in half and smacked it on top of the crucible. A few minutes later I pulled out my first successful cast. The principle being the potato is 90% water and suddenly converted to steam and forcing the molten silver into the mold. Just thought I'd share a memory that brought a smile to me. Cheers! P.S.- I also do a little voice-over work: You did a nice job with the narration.
@@bonn3790 yeah man I understand why u did narration bcoz there's alot to understand here but I like your old video style too.. There's so much to casting its hard to do all in one video but you did Well, I need to start tryin to make my own moulds too it's very cool
The narration was really good, and it gives your videos a higher quality. Still the normal ones have a special charm on it. So, the narrated videos are "better" in my opinion
From an accessibility standpoint, the narration is great! It explains the steps and why each step is done, and those with visual disabilities can enjoy your videos as well.
That was a revelation. I will never have your patience but man was it great to watch. I thought I was an artist when recently I made a necklace from a Corona Extra bottle cap [I pick things up off the street], skull beads and a length of string. Actually, not every artist has to be a master. I'll be a putterer and we'll both be artists. :)
That was a really awesome custom pendant, very unique idea. Also the narration was a nice addition, I love hearing the process and what you use for it.
I so wished I could do what you are doing? But I don’t know where to start with equipment or investment or the silicone you make it look so easy. Right now I’m just doing sand casting anyway I am enjoying your videos. I just found you today. Thanks , Autumn Michelle I forgot to tell you I am also a silversmith instructor. Thank you for sharing your videos.
I like Bonn videos! Very nice! It shows the process, a more realistic experimentation. It encourages the creative process. And shows good close-ups. Thank you!
I have had some lapidary training in NC but will be the 1st to tell you , I suck at casting. With that in mind, have you tried cintrifical casting? The students with the best looking projects would really heat up the silver and cast into branches. Groups of 6 to 8 unless the pieces were really big. My girl Sandi liked to shoot 4 oz branches, she said the bulk metal helped keep the metal fluid all the way in the mold pushing the bubbles out.Loved the video, hope to see a bunch more.
So if I got it right, the steam from the potato or the paper towel was supposed to push the molten metal down into to mold, right? What if instead you were to use a narrower diameter mold with a metal/glass syringe that fits the mold and created some pressure with it?
Amazing creation, and the commentary was top notch. Although I also really like your more contemplative videos without any talking and simply the music.
Friend, if you allow me a suggestion, in a similar video I saw how it was done well, you need centrifugal force for the metal to enter the mold correctly. In addition, the conduits must be a little wider allowing the entrance of the molten metal, sorry if I offend you for commenting.
NArration is cool, and I am intrigued about the potatoes. I think one could get rubber in a domestic situation...I like that pen derived chisel, good idea...good experiment, not a bad outcome
Very nice video, also the others you did! Thank you for sharing! Cut some vent holes in the silicone molds, that makes castin much more easy. I think that's the reason why your first trys doesn't work.
i appreciate hearing your methodology in the narration. If you don't have a spoken narration in the future, for whatever reason, i'm sure many would appreciate written narrations or captions
Great vid, a couple of things you can try. I made a lot of silver and turquoise jewelry up in Washington State. I used cuttle fish bone to cast in , also try using bigger spruces to drain and to pour your silver in. Nick
This is super good information, it's good to see the process, the narration was very helpful, and it was chill. And I have been wanting to cast and I don't have any fancy equipment so potato and hot nail for wax work sounds good to me. I would dig more full process / narration on top of whatever you already enjoy doing.
At model-mould making class for bronze casting (similar), we needed to warm the mould before pouring the molten metal. You should have more success with a warmed-up mould. Great decoration too.
The finished piece is very beautiful. I doubt it is possible (even for a casting factory) to cast such a thin Coca-Cola bottle cap. It is simply way too thin. After you did all those modifications all went well. :) Hand casting is very interesting but it is very limited. This is why we have so much technology these days.
so cool!:) really like watching your videos. Your explanation of the process is really good and I would love to watch more videos like that... as long as you still keep the working sequences with amazing music:) much love
I love your idees. One tip. When you bring the liquid silber into the form.....you must have a second canal that the air comes out. So you have not bubbles.
I cant say what it does to the library life of the mold, but I found it helped putting the mold in the microwave before injecting the wax - get the mold hot
Bro, for a better result at this step 03:30 just put your mold in hot water for a while (70-80° if your silicon is okay for this temperature. if not, just immediatly buy some, because it is very useful), then you can cast your parafin in the thin parts much much easier ;-)
The narration works well better spoken than my own voice .But so does the silent works for me too..Фантастический и коллекционный кулон and on sale too. for some reason I am thinking of the back of a motorcycle helmet with the skull coming out to tell the car driver to back off and give some road respect..
Use talcon powder/ baby powder from keep both ends of rubber from sticking to each other. I've made hundreds of rubber molds. I've learned the right way for my mentor. Put the powder in a sock and tap the rubber on both side of rubber. It won't stick. Use some tiny screw caps to line up your mold. And mark the sides of the rubber. To make sure your molds are always facing the right way. I use different colors of rubber for different parts. White, black, and green. That way I don't have to search through all my molds. Thanks for sharing.
cool idea! I think I missed the part at 24:32 that described how and what worked to produce the excellent casting, since until that point every thing failed. I would also invest in a wax injector and some clamps to hold the two mold parts together.
I'm torn between narration and no narration I like the sounds of the tools and music like the normal videos but the narration helps me understand what's going on
I'm on the fence about the narration. Leaning towards no narration. I like just music and the sound of the tools. Plus, I don't watch these because I'm gonna recreate them, I just wanna watch things get made. But that's just me
I don't like the way you melted the wax, I used to make candles and found out through research that if wax gets too hot it can reach flash point and explode. The best way to safely melt wax is with a double boiler, one pot or saucepan inside anther with the outer pan holding boiling water, do not fill this pan , but put more in as needed. When I was melting wax I was using 5 kilo / 11 pound blocks each time. I do like the video, cheers.
The chain does not look good going through the pendant. I would recommend attaching a clasp that fits in both holes in the pendant and then running the chain through the clasp. Just a suggestion.
Yes everyone is talking about the narration but I'm not!!! That was a good try but doing shit ghetto isn't that easy trust I've been trying for years but never found a hot enough torch to smelt the silver what did u use an plus I'm better at designing the pieces then actually making them but I would LOVE TO TRY!!!!

this is better than the previous time you narrated a video but the silent videos have a certain charm to them
either way good video

Eres un artista compañero te felicito !!nunca algo tan simple y banal como una tapita cobro tanta importancia te admiro !!!❤️❤️👏👏👏

Commentary is far better, nice to have explanations to support my personal lack experience in casting. You’re a great finisher also.
this looks amazing and I very much like the voiceover in the video

NArration is cool, and I am intrigued about the potatoes. I think one could get rubber in a domestic situation...I like that pen derived chisel, good idea...good experiment, not a bad outcome
Very much like the narration.
I'm enjoying the narration and the skills used
Very nice video, also the others you did! Thank you for sharing!
Cut some vent holes in the silicone molds, that makes castin much more easy. I think that's the reason why your first trys doesn't work.
I'm a fan of both narrated and just background music.
Which is a rare find on RUclips. I agree with you
Excellent and very clever thank you ✊✊✊✊✊
i appreciate hearing your methodology in the narration. If you don't have a spoken narration in the future, for whatever reason, i'm sure many would appreciate written narrations or captions

This turned out great. I like that you didnt edit out your set backs. Keep up the great work.
The finished piece is very beautiful. I doubt it is possible (even for a casting factory) to cast such a thin Coca-Cola bottle cap. It is simply way too thin. After you did all those modifications all went well. :) Hand casting is very interesting but it is very limited. This is why we have so much technology these days.
Do you think casting in delft clay would have worked better than lost wax plaster casting?
Always Bonn-Cola. That was a LOT of work but I bet it was a learning experience. Looks great Bonn.
so cool!:) really like watching your videos. Your explanation of the process is really good and I would love to watch more videos like that... as long as you still keep the working sequences with amazing music:) much love
Thanks!
I love how persistent and patient you are. I admire you ❤ and naturally your works are all fantastic and beautiful 😍
I love your idees. One tip. When you bring the liquid silber into the form.....you must have a second canal that the air comes out. So you have not bubbles.

love the commentary on the video, it's a nice video I have not eve seen someone attempt to cast this way. keep it up.
imagine finding a coke cap at your friends house or something, and its a frikkin skull emerging on the inside
...and the Coke cap is one Troy Oz of silver. 🤩😎🥳
this looks amazing and I very much like the voiceover in the video
Trial and error are the catalyst for creativity.
Great video. God bless you and yours.
Nice job, well done. Looks cool.
Dude you're so talented.. 👌
First time visiting your channel, and I was definitely intrigued. I love the video style of voice over... Hope you make more.
I like the voice-over 😊
cool idea! I think I missed the part at 24:32 that described how and what worked to produce the excellent casting, since until that point every thing failed. I would also invest in a wax injector and some clamps to hold the two mold parts together.
24:32 is the last second of the video…
amaising wow .good job
Amazing. This is awesome
I'm torn between narration and no narration
I like the sounds of the tools and music like the normal videos but the narration helps me understand what's going on
The skull-bottle-cap combo seems very Goonies-like.
I like the ones that failed. So cool and pirate like! 🏴☠️
Awesome video
What is the casting compound you use
Very good job, I enjoyed watching it, keep going💪🏻👍🏻👌🏻
More narration. Great job!
what kind of silicon are you using for this project ?
Trilha sonora incrível
用高速旋轉離心鋳造法製成率最高成品最完美
This narrator is really good, any idea who he is?
Love the work i would buy it without questions !!!!
Gorgeous!
I'm on the fence about the narration. Leaning towards no narration. I like just music and the sound of the tools. Plus, I don't watch these because I'm gonna recreate them, I just wanna watch things get made. But that's just me
Just a suggestion. Hand engrave the metal cap with the logo that is already there. Cast the skull. Silver solder the skull to the cap.
Amazing😍 love it ❤️
Edd would love this video
the guy narrating sounds great bet he’s cute too
Watch his Blades of Chaos
He appears in that video
Hope you have a safe and great future
Amazing work !
Where do you find such a syringe ?
Not a big fan of the narration, but I love the video!
Craftsman!!
Why not use an over flow at the low point on the mold to improve filling?
super videos
What is necessary minimum equipment?
Your nice 👍
I really like it. Would you sell it?Just wondering.
Yes, send me an email if interested
@@bonn3790 My email is snazzylikechazzy@gmail.com
U are totally crazy 👍🏼
Nice👍
Young master
The narration was really good narrated videos are better in my opinion, so we can understend all the spets better
I don't like the way you melted the wax, I used to make candles and found out through research that if wax gets too hot it can reach flash point and explode.
The best way to safely melt wax is with a double boiler, one pot or saucepan inside anther with the outer pan holding boiling water, do not fill this pan , but put more in as needed.
When I was melting wax I was using 5 kilo / 11 pound blocks each time.
I do like the video, cheers.
Nice work... But using an SLA printer will give you a higher detail and a lot less time for making it ;)
The chain does not look good going through the pendant. I would recommend attaching a clasp that fits in both holes in the pendant and then running the chain through the clasp. Just a suggestion.
I literally use just a normal silicone for casting epoxy and it works xd
tutorialnya bagus.
this focus is hard to look >.< great job
Like pela persistencia
Can I get a ♥ please sir big fan
Yes everyone is talking about the narration but I'm not!!! That was a good try but doing shit ghetto isn't that easy trust I've been trying for years but never found a hot enough torch to smelt the silver what did u use an plus I'm better at designing the pieces then actually making them but I would LOVE TO TRY!!!!
You should absolutely keep the voice over
Lost wax casting, expensive but effective.
Looks like the gears of war logo at 7:30
