I know where your going with this but that's not what I would do...did Jon Moses use plaster no he used hardened steel, a file and good eye coordination
I agree my first thought exactly. I am from the UK firearms highly regulated but I’ve been watching these videos recently and I wouldn’t want to test any of the cast pistols in the videos I am watching tbh. Not a chance 🤣 😂😅
Just watched the video far enough: This is the wrong way to cast the part if he was trying to make it functional. That way he will get worse quality, compared to lost wax, for example
yeah i thought about trying the lost wax method but if if you do the calculations. 1. in order to melt steel you need a furnace capable of reaching up to 1540 degrees celsius. Only the high end furnaces made for melting steel can reach this temp, which means i’ll have to spend at least 500$ plus another 50$ for gloves, crucibles and other tools. 2. If you’re going to pour molten steel you need more than normal plaster, they usually use a type of ceramic material and that will of course cost me quite a lot of time and money. in order to melt the wax you’re going to need a kiln which will cost around 350$ 3. the lost wax method requires you to first have the shape you want to replicate in some type of wax casting, i even spent around 100$ trying make wax castings with silicone molds but it’s very very difficult to make silicone moles for complex shapes. But don’t worry i’m working on some new projects where i make absurd things the right way and so they work as intended, so stay tuned :)
@@nothing2something466 You can use induction heating to heat steel to it's melting point, though most homes can only supply 240V at 16A which is just under 4 kW, likely not enough for the amount of steel needed. A better option in that case would be a furnace on oxy-acetylene, which will definitely produce enough heat. You could build one from ceramic bricks and alumina blankets or sheets, you can build one for a couple hundred Euro's and use it for all kinds of metals. On top of that, the frame of the 1911 is normally made from aluminium, which has a much lower melting temperature than steel. If you use the lost PLA method you can make very complex shapes in cast aluminium by 3D printing the frame in PLA and using that with plaster to make a casting mould. You then heat the whole thing to a couple hundred degreed C to melt out the PLA and leave you with the hollow mould in which you can pour the molten aluminium. For a steel casting mould plaster will likely not suffice, but for aluminium it's perfectly suitable, and plaster moulds are much finer detailed than something like green sand. To make a mould in order to cast steel green sand is however the way to go, it's basically just fine sand with sodium silicate, an extremely heat resistant binder, in fact you can even make it yourself from a bag of gardening sand (wash it in a tub several times first to clean it up) and some sodium silicate, both of which is dirt cheap. It's definitely possible to make a 1911 completely from scratch out of steel and aluminium and without spending a thousands Euro's but it will take some ingenuity and having knowledge on the matter (knowledge you can find through Google and RUclips).
I don't get it. Why make a tin 1911? Useless. And why cast? That's just stupid. For the barrel, turn it and bore it on a lathe. Mill the barrel link lugs and other details. 4140 chromoly is not expensive steel, and it should work okay with standard pressure ammo, properly hardened and tempered. The frame can be aluminum. Most 80% frames are aluminum. Making the frame from a billet of aluminum requires some fairly complex machining that is much easier with aluminum, and the weight of a steel frame is not really needed with a full size 1911. I have an aluminum frame 1911 and it is a fine shooter.There are various SS alloys that would make a fine slide. So, you are what, making a toy gun? Except you are trying to make it look real? Don't take it outside your home and flash it around. That would be a good way to get killed. You say you want "the feel" of a real gun. Just make a real 1911! Federal law allows you to do that, though perhaps some states like NY and CA forbid it. You can start with an 80% frame, or just go from scratch. or buy one. Tisa makes a 1911 that is very faithful to the G.I. 1911A1, that can be had for about $400. If you want the classic G.I. look and feel, in a gun that is still practical and reliable, without shelling out a big wad of money, there's your answer. There are other 1911's out there for under $500 and plenty of guns on the used market that are still serviceable.
yeah I like the feel of something that i’ve built myself and unfortunately i don’t have the space or money for a leith, but I see this as a beginning of my metal skills. Also i live in sweden which is has one of the worlds strictest gun laws. I’ll be posting videos where i make actual working things and “tools” :)
Why make a tin 1911? Because he can, of course! Clearly he doesn't have a lathe or mill based off the techniques he used, but it's none the less impressive what he achieved. Most countries have strict gun laws so making an actual firearm is out of the question, but who cares, he probably did it for the challenge which is a good enough reason.
It's stupid and useless that you have decided to waste yours and everyone's time writing this long comment with extremely obvious and stupid things. Feels like you just wanted to show off and tell everyone you have a 1911 when, in reality, no one asked and no one cares.
I decided to waste my time reading it and, of course, typical case of Americanism - a disease where people forget that there is more to the world than just the US
Good job on creative usage of tools available to you.
And that was a solid casting job too, don't get to see someone get so close first try
LOVELY MADE IN 3D.
Next episode: making a nuclear fusion reactor at home
True😂
Fission reactor as fusion reactor only exist in theory

@@swulf4915 So using a regular steel or aluminum for barrel is dangerous?
Woot, this is the best thing ive ever seen in my life , Man if ya made it for 22lr, that tin barrel might just be strong enough, heeh heh maybe?
Wouldn't risk it

Pfff, dude, you are just awesome..
너무 잘 봤어요. 감사합니다.
Damn wooowwwwww, dis rly cool
Dang i wish i could do this type of stuff without failing 😂
It must be made of steel. To withstand the explosion. But your work is good
Why dont you do lost wax process with steel. Buy an induction furnace and leave space for boring to spec then rifle it

Because he is an idiot.
Good thing you're not making this tin barrel to be functional as you likely wouldn't survive the text firing.
