Jeremy Blohm 506 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 First time ever casting anything. Ruined 2 crucibles and It all looks like crap but it was a lot of fun. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Jaron Martindale 23 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Fun Stuff!! I got to cast Bronze signet rings for a friend's wedding party and I ruined more wax and bronze than I care to admit, lol! I still like to play around with copper though, its nice to consolidate the scraps into those big bars Link to post Share on other sites

My hand for size reference. This one was made using Kinetic sand for my mold. The first one was made using a clay mold that still had some moisture in it which caused all kinds of defects. If I was to take my time and actually tried making a mold with real green sand I could see it working out nicely. The second picture is just a copper billet I cast and while still hot I took it to the power hammer. Tomorrow I will get pictures of some of the molds I have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua States 1,657 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 That's a great start. There is also Delft Clay for casting. That's what I have used. Link to post Share on other sites
