I took a lostwax class ages ago and asked my teacher if i could cast silver and bronze in the figure i was doing. He said he never tried before so lets do it!! It worked. I cast the bronze first then put the other part of the wax mold on the bronze, invested it and cast the silver. You are the first person ive come across attempting two metals! Supercool. Rip metalsmith god Jack Finch!
Wow, this tutorial opened my mind!! I planning to make wedding rings for my wife, for 30 yrs anniversary, but dual metal will be top notch !! 🙂 Will probably not repeat it many times in future, so just ordered two flasks from Aliexpres and just now looking for some sapphires. Would like to combine it with stone in place casting...never tried, hope it will work :-) First need to design something in CAD and 3D print it. I can use jewellery investment casting mold, but seems sand will be much faster as I do not need to burn out castable printed resin for several hours from the flask... THANK YOU for inspiration !!
Thanks for the info, i have been attempting to do 2-part pours, but failing to fail with my first ring. Came here, saw yiu back with sand to block the flow. Mind blown. Thanks for being so generous with your info x
I've just found you today. I have found it difficult to understand the Sand Casting process. What a wonderfully informative and easy to understand tutorial. Thanks so much.😊
Great inspiration for me just getting into ring making - casted my first bronze ring the other day and just bought my first tiny amount of sterling silver :)
This is so cool! I have a few questions though: 1. How do you hallmark the mixed metal ring? Do you use both gold and silver hallmarks? 2. Did you calculate your gold and silver weights first to know how much to melt? 3. Do you use separate crucibles to keep your metals apart from one another? 1 crucible for gold and another for silver? Thank you for this awesome video!
Seems sand casting is not meant for rings and jewelry. They do sand casting in Pakistan's heavy industry. Finer results are achieved with silicone for high temperatures.
wow blown away is an understatement ... Thank you for sharing this mixing of metals video I am all over it like a hobo on a ham sandwhich but I have a problem with seperation I can solder but am reluctant to try ... I did gold pieces first then cast silver on top so I am guessing do the silver first and then throw gold next ... is that right or what do u suggest i do to join the metals i already have cast i could send a pic if i knew how ... haha Dean

You're a wonderful teacher, thanks so much, and beautiful ring !
Thank you so much!
love this Kirra-lea
Nice instructions. I bought a similar aluminum casting can after seeing some of your technique with guiding the molten metal with ventilation holes.
A wery good idear, I’m going to try it cause I have a little bit of gold left - too little to use for anything else 😬👍🏻
Do it! :)

Cool video! The ring surfaces reminds me of the 3d maps.

Could you do this with copper or bronze
What holds the pieces together? Is the metal actually fusing?
❤❤❤
So cool! How strong is the join between the two metals
Pretty strong, you wouldnt be able to pull it apart. In this ring anyway. But I always add solder for peace of mind :)
Hi! Whats the name and band of that stunnin dark blue hair dye civering Your forehead?❤
Is the gold pure? Is the silver pure or Sterling ? Beautiful.
So beautiful! I'm curious, Do you use a different crucible for the gold?
Thanks for that God bless
I am totally with you until 8:36 , I can even do that WITHOUT adding the stopping crumbles of sand!!! Actually I would say I'm an expert... 😜
banger
First ❤
I love your videos! So you have a course or subscription channel?
