I'm 53. Graduated in 83. Anyway we had metal shop in those days in highschool. We learned how to cast things. We had a small foundry. Great video!!! Bought back fun memories. That's also where I got my interest in welding. Still doing it today for a living.😁😁
You should do a series where you do budget builds. Instead of using tool people might not have, or materials not available for them, you make something using low cost materials. Thanks and keep up the great work!
amazing how well it turned out. i did some aluminium casting some 25+ years ago. this is a very good use of the technique.
That casting went so nicely it actually looked pretty cool as-is from the form. Thanks for sharing your beautiful workmanship
Yeah! Kinda post apocalyptic looks out of the mold :'D Thank you mate
You're a wizard black beard
beautifully done. I would expect Nothing less!!!!
Haha! Tanks brother :) :)
That looks amazing!
Oh i see, very understandable... Thanks very much, have a great day!
Oh! Was that a blade made from an old hacksaw? If so, good job! I'd like to make this myself, but I'm wondering where to find a riser to trace from...
Nice! I envy people that have the time, money and equipment to make things like this. I love archery too, so I really like this project!
That is so pure!!
Dude! This is awesome! One day I will build a house and have a workshop just like I always wanted. It may seem odd, but for me, being able to make stuff is the feeling of power!
I feel you brother! :) Thank you a lot :)
Very nice work! Interested in doing this myself.
I see you have constructed a new lightsabre. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful as the emperor has foreseen.
You never cease to amaze. Nice job!
Thank you a lot :)
What an amazing pour! Good job getting that so clean straight from the cast.
Thank you my friend! :)
Sharp Works
Wow, that's awesome😳 You're got some talent! Or really much Practice!!
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!! :D
I had to say.. great job
ottimo risultato!
Grazie :)
Fascinating! Really. I didn't know you could do casting like that at home. What talent you've got. Thanks for the video! Cheers, BH (P.S. at last video background music that isn't awful.)
solid cast, im impressed
Thanks! :)
that's truly impressive!
Thanks my friend :D
I don't really comment on KZhead but I really admire the high standard and effort you put in. I've seen aluminium castings on here but non take the time to sand the styrofoam. It was amazing to see what a difference it makes to your end product if you put in more effort. Great video, definitely subscribing. :£
Thank you a lot mate, really appreciated :) And yes the finish of the foam makes a huge difference on the casting, It always amaze me how much detail it can be transferred!
great cast! that thing came out solid
Thanks!! :)
Nice shot man
Complimenti ormai metto like appena apro il video perché so già che sarà un progetto fantastico. Continua così bro👍
Grazie mille Anton X :)

Do you sell these aluminum risers? 🙌 this rough, rustic, heavy type is wonderful in my opinion, the one in the video was amazing

that was really cool how you made a perfect replica in styrofoam then turned it into aluminum :)

@@BlackBeardProjects q
I still confused, Are styrofoam disappear when touch melted aluminum?
@@c4t4phr4ct1 yes it's like plastic foam, it melts but since it's such a light material it seems to disappear
@@mynamefrank6567 I got it
That came out awesome.
Thanks brother!
you have a cool job
Superb.
You are a very cool creator and artist
Ficou muito bom! Show
Dude!.. awesome
Thank you!! :)
Nice job, really !
Thank you sir! :)
I am truly enjoying your videos on making aluminum castings. Got to figure out a way to make my own furnace to smelt in. I, though am more interested in making brass and bronze castings. Your videos are very instructional in how you are making your forms and then performing the castings. Thank you for providing so much information. Have a great day.
Thank you a lot!!! :) Brass, bronze and other copper alloy melt at much higher temperature than aluminum, consider to make a gas furnace and buy a nice graphite crucible to melt them :) Have fun!
Was planning on the gas furnace. Any suggestions on building one? And where is a good source for the crucible? Sorry for the questions, but you know how it is. You have to get the information somewhere. Thanks for any and all help you can provide.
The gas furnace I like the most are the one made by "Brian Oltrogge" and "myfordboy" here on KZhead. For the crucible I have no idea since I never bought one, but I heard you need to heat cycle them before using because they are prone to cracking :)
Will check out their videos. Will also let you know regarding the crucible. Might be a while, but only because money is tight for a retiree.
I understand :) Have a nice day!
Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groovy.
Your video is good, I like it
Awesome!
Thanks! :D
Wow nice sir
Cool build video ,it turned out great Cheers Tim from Wood 4 Nothing

Haha! Thank you my friend :D Once in a while I have a lucky shot, but thanks to the magic of editing that's all you'll see xD
Good ‼
Cool project, that came out really nice!
Thank you! :)
I love these projects! I wish I could do this kind of stuff but I have a few more years before I am old enough
Bradley Hinton don't use that as an excuse not to start. If you got the interest and a sound mind you can start making things, building the skills you'll need for larger projects
Bradley Hinton mate I'm 14 this year and already I make knifes,sword,axes like a pro don't worry just do it
"AMAZING!" :)
Thanks!!! :)
