The great thing about real craftsmen is they make what they do look easier than it really is. I am really glad I found your channel; enjoy every video. Oh, great re-branding!
Thanks for sharing. Between your experience, my wife’s years of jewelry fab an casting , my foundry sand casting . an now learning 3d printing . Should be a good time Thanks
Man you should make 94-96 impala emblems specially he trunk emblem. They are discontinued and hard to get. You should make them and sell them im sure youl sell out quick
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. a question: do the wax models remain in the plaster mold during the pouring of the liquid metal? or is the mold heated to melt the wax before placing the molten metal? Sorry for my bad English!
Impressive... after watching this I went down a deep rabbit hole on White Bronze and it got confusing... Yours looks perfect and shouldn't corrode or tarnish while others I read about would have all types of conflicting issues... Do you recall where you bought your White Bronze metal from? Thanks!...
hello my name is gabriel and i have a doubt, i'm making a vacuum tube, and i have doubt what to use to seal the tube, something that can withstand the temperature of the tube with plaster, could you help me?
You get up to 2% shrinkage in the casting from the original. Not taking on any more work right now. My job is taking up too much of my time right now. Hopefully they hire a couple more people soon..
Hi I just saw VegOilGuy and his recommendation to visit, and I am glad that I did. Much to learn about. I was going to ask if just vibrating the mold would work instead of vacuum but you ended up vibrating it with your fist?
Awesome!! I want to get into lost PLA casting and I am looking to buy the RapidFire electric kiln on amazon for burning out the PLA from the investment. But the interior firing chamber on the RapidFire is only 6x6x5 inches volume.... will a flask fit in there??? Yours seems very large.
I actually use a pottery kiln for burn out. You can usually pick them up on craigs list for $100.00 then just add a temp controller from ebay to it and your done.
David, very inspirational. Between you and trainman4602 I have received enough to give me the confidence to give vacuum investment casting a go! Do you have a video on how to make the molds?
@@aonemarine great video. I deal in cars that are produced in much lower numbers than the Ford Galaxie 500 so it would probably be well worth the investment to get them made by you.
hi i have made a small vac casting chamber the same has on one of your prev vids thanks for the help with that project . i have run it 2x but my fridge vac pump has burnt out , i was interested to see your vac pump at16 mins ish into the film . iam only doing v.small casting jobs 3inch flasks by 4inch .I note you just switch your pump on and leave in running is there some sort of safety device that stops it from burning out ?? do you have any recommendations for a vac pump for small applications I note you dont have any gauge on your vac line ? i tried to start my cast off at minus 20 mercurey or whatever it is . is this critical to fill all the voids ? i been gathering / makeing bits un bobs ( parts ) for a while now and need sum success i can feel the frustration thing commming on thanks for your helpful vids
Steve Green the blue vac pump is a 2 stage 4 cfm. It runs constantly. What problems are you having with your castings? Which investment are you using? And what are you trying to make? Join thehomefoundry forum and we can talk and get you sorted out.
Thank you for getting back to me no problem. Just want to say I really love your videos. The emblem that you did was really amazing.

Nice job, they look really good. That was a sweet fade in, late in the video.
Always admire your work David, very well done
Thank you Chris
Castings came out great, I like that white bronze.
white bronze is easy to cast too. It doesnt suffer from fire scale and is low shrink like silicon bronze.
thehomefoundry Hi bro, I want to know which silicon you use for silicon mold and which one for " plastic casting resin" . Thanks a lot
far more fascinating that i ever would have thought. thank you
HA... you renamed the channel.. Good idea! Beautiful work David. Those came out perfect!
I have some other things in the works as well. couple of which are really cool...
Yea had to change the name, everyone kept thinking I was military.
Thanks for all your hard work on these videos. Subscribed, thumbs up.
Thanks!! I'll be making more soon!
I would really like to use your service. I have an emblem I need casted. How do I contact you?
Thanks David! Outstanding work!
thanks BigE
Great to see you can make a vacuum casting system without spending big money. Does the vacuum pump still work good with all the heat ?
This is fantastic - keep up the good work!
Beautiful result
Like the new channel name, good job on the badges too :D
thanks Jeff...
Will this casting compound work for casting stainless steel?
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
a question: do the wax models remain in the plaster mold during the pouring of the liquid metal? or is the mold heated to melt the wax before placing the molten metal?
Sorry for my bad English!
The molds are put into a kiln and heated to 730c . All the wax is burned out prior to pouring the metal..
@@aonemarine
OK thank you! I will follow all your videos!!!
@@professorprieto7866 thank you!

@@aonemarine Replying to a 5yr old video is impressive too... greatly appreciate that!
hello my name is gabriel and i have a doubt, i'm making a vacuum tube, and i have doubt what to use to seal the tube, something that can withstand the temperature of the tube with plaster, could you help me?
Two questions. Is shrinkage of the metal much of a factor? And do you offer your services to others?
You get up to 2% shrinkage in the casting from the original.

Hi I just saw VegOilGuy and his recommendation to visit, and I am glad that I did. Much to learn about. I was going to ask if just vibrating the mold would work instead of vacuum but you ended up vibrating it with your fist?
Yea, but your much better off using vacuum..
Do you take on commissioned work like this?
So how do we get in touch if we want you to make something for us?
Hey, would you happen to do any old gmc sierra emblems i can buy?
Thehomefoundry Do you take custom orders? Thanks.
where do you get your supplies (ransom & randolph)?
Can we make from a silver

Lost wax process is very interesting,do you make & sell any badge?
Just ones that you can no longer find.
MUCHA VUELTA...POTOS.....
My friend one question: What it`s the white powder that you mix with water?
investment, its sort of like plaster of paris
David,
very inspirational. Between you and trainman4602 I have received enough to give me the confidence to give vacuum investment casting a go! Do you have a video on how to make the molds?
Can you make a set of emblems for a Galaxy 500 1966. Please let me know
They have them on e bay.
It's cheaper to buy an original set and have them replated then it is for me to make them
@@aonemarine great video. I deal in cars that are produced in much lower numbers than the Ford Galaxie 500 so it would probably be well worth the investment to get them made by you.
When you just can't find any, then yes.
Working on a couple now, hope to put out a video soon...
