Jeremy Blohm 503 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 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 14 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 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
Jeremy Blohm 503 Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 23 hours ago, Joshua States said: How big is the first one, and what is the second one? I made a second one. 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 1,539 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 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
