Those look like a million bucks man! Great job! Thanks for the shout out. Petrobond is amazing stuff isnt it? It captures the smallest details. I've found that hammering the grind marks with a hard stone works really well to hide them. Keep up the good work. I like watching your videos.
Hey if you ever need zinc you can visit your local tire shop. Alot of new wheel weights are now made of zinc so you can just ask the guys that change tyres if they can give you their dead weights... It's a good cheap source of clean zinc... And they have the extra benefit of being weighed ingots with the precise weight on the ingots...!!!
0:55 - I did this maybe 10 years ago when the price of copper spiked. To speed up the sorting, lightly bounce the coins on a tabletop instead of checking dates. Very distinctive difference in how they ring.
Absolutely stunning -- another masterpiece added to the library -- nice touch on jeopardy theme too -- Congrats Again! Hey hoser - how those algebraic algorithems treating you? haha Great mold, nice pour, touch-up, GOLDEN Cast - SWWEEEEETT !! Agree also on the math -wish I had spent less time partying and playboying. Ah well, carry on. Excellent fluidity and good color on the alloy. Found this old article on Statuary Bronze, an older alloy used by artists that also combines good color, fluidity and has correct hardness for filing, clean up, etc. Silicon bronze is also widely used in the art community. (link won't post for some reason :-( but basically correct alloys with the properties you need can help a lot, especially in the hands of masters like yourself. Stat.Bronze was listed as 10-18 zinc and 2-4 tin. Color could be altered from orange yellow to pale yellow by altering but keeping within above parameters.
For things I plan on welding I use silicon bronze. It’s easy to find welding rod for it and it handles the heat. Anything with zinc is a lot harder to weld because the zinc burns off.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Exactly - just pumping up that algorithm ;-) btw - that link for the silver ones was sweet. idea for next project -silver, though on a smaller scale -maybe a pair of his/her bracelets -something the wifey may also apprech?
New sub here, looks awesome! Keep up the good work...looks like i have a future project in mind now! Awesome video, good production...look forward to future vids!
Cool..I just don't get why you don't have more views? Very informative and well made. Do you use hashtags in your descriptions of the videos? Where did you get tools for your foundry? And for the people that will chime in saying melting u.s. currency is illegal if it's for art it's not but for scrap resale it is.
I haven’t been using hashtags but I can research that. I’m not sure how to get on top of the algorithm. Seems to be a challenge. Thanks for commenting though. I know that helps the algorithm a lot.
That I’m not sure about. I’ve never made such a thing and I’m not sure if other but. But people usually find a way to make things if they try hard enough.
Wow Awesome!! This will make an awesome treasure hunting item! Can't wait to see them in person. Just let me know how much they cost and I will pay you to make several of them! Hope it wasn't too much of a pain to search through rolls of pennies. 😜 Maybe I should buy some zinc before you make more of them.
pennies are a great source of zinc since the value of a zinc penny is also about a penny so no retail mark-ups. Each time you or friend goes to the bank just order $5 in pennies - algorithems
Absolutely I can, what style, ong bak filmy look? Realism give me clue and I’ll give it a go…helps if you know where it will hang.🤝@@lundgrenbronzestudios
So you just dip your hand right in that sulfur of liver, huh? I never touch that stuff!😂 Have I been unnecessarily careful??? That’s usually your role, not mine...
commenting to help the algorithm! you deserve big numbers, my man. Keep up the good work. 🙌🔥
I’ve done the same

Thanks! I hope to be as good at casting as you someday!
Another great video, as always!
Neat trick with the finish, really gives it that last oomph!
I think that looks awesome. Looking forward to your next...
Great Video, Thank you for sharing !!
They look fantastic
Inspirational! Fantastic artistry and well produced.
Those are a work of art! You should make and sell those!
Meg teeth. Love it!

Interesting. I’ll have to try that!
That's a sweet fact. 👍
@@AndyMecha you only bounce for 1982 pennies since year of switch has both varieties.
Outstanding!
Nice work on the sharks teeth, made a couple nordic gold also and a bunch from straight copper. They are so fun to make.
So cool!

Nordic Gold! Cool how you can literally see the liver of sulfur color it.
Hi. Thanks for the cool video. Just a question. Can one make a thick gent neck chain from Nordic gold

Good to know. Well, Lucas let me know when you will be having a penny sorting party and I'll be there 😜
I liked this video
👍🏻
Yeah love that, seen one left in your Etsy shop, if I weren’t broke…..swap for an ink drawing?

Tatooy sort of dramatic stylised….
@@philippriestman8516 oh I love the movie Ong Bak. I do love realism. I’d hang it right on the wall of my workshop. That would be worth a shark tooth!
So be it! Stay tuned mate 🙏@@lundgrenbronzestudios
Great video!
Do you know bigstackd?
I don’t know him but I know his channel. He gets a lot more views than I do.
Why is it called Nordic gold as opposed to some other gold?
I’m not sure why. That’s just what they call it.
So you just dip your hand right in that sulfur of liver, huh? I never touch that stuff!😂
Have I been unnecessarily careful??? That’s usually your role, not mine...
I never read the directions. Just seemed like it wouldn’t be toxic. 🤷🏻♂️
