Wax Carving to Sand Casting – The Ring-Making Process
I hope you like this video. I'm trying to get in the flow of making and shooting more and this one just sort of happened to be a really quick and dirty ring. I want to make more in-depth how-to videos and fun videos of wacky projects. Please let me know what part of the process you want to see in more detail!
All of the supplies I used in this video can be bought from PMC Supplies or Rio Grande (for US people).
Please do not attempt to recreate my methods without doing your own research and taking all necessary precautions. I have been screwing around and learning on my own and most likely do not know the best way to use these tools safely or efficiently.

SAND CASTING A RING - full tutorial, minimal tools
มุมมอง 26Kปีที่แล้ว
My goal for this video was to show you how you can sand cast at home with minimal supplies and financial investment. Super sorry for the blurry part, can't be bothered to reshoot it but might someday. This ring was cast from 925 sterling silver. All of the supplies I used in this video can be bought from PMC Supplies or Rio Grande (for US people). Let me know what you want to see next! I'm thin...
SAND CASTING - from wax carving to finished ring
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
I've been making rings for a month or two in my spare time and I hope to make a tutorial soon showing how you can do it pretty dirt cheap. I think my first three rings were made with about $200USD work of equipment - its really fun and I'll try and share the process in a more in depth video when I get over being in front of the camera. DIY ring making video on a budget coming soon basically. Th...
nice video :) I would love to see more teaching style videos for learning
the torching outside with bare feet is crazy 😝 thanks for sharing your process!! very cool!!!
What do you do professionally if this was just for fun?
Nice, thanks 💪🗜️
AWESOME ! perfect tutorial !
You are an extremely good teacher! Thank you so much to cover all my doubt about the process. Nice ring!
Hella chill
재밌어 보이는 작업이네요 나중에 기회가 된다면 직접 해보고 싶어요.
What app/website did you use to measure the amount of silver you need?
I’m not gonna do it but you could cast a ring at the beach… right???
If you brought all your casting equipment to the beach, I see no reason why not.
🎉🎉
Awesome!!! I find that laying the small crucible on top of a brick helps heat it faster with mapp or propane.
Vermiculite/perlite works as well. Its basically stone popcorn.
I like your style. No silliness, just work method and results. I’d like to see a skull ring being made if you ever get a chance.
Clean cast 👍🏼
Is this the same with lost wax method? I cant really tell or know the difference yet
Random question but do you put back the wax carving in the mold and it melts when you put the melted silver? Sorry just confused
Bro you have unique skill and talent
Your videos are amazing. Thank you! Would love to see more videos on your channel 😊
Proud be part of the 420 if this is the content 💍
Hey! Im trying to cast using the same torch (ts4000) and map pro gas like you. Im trying to melt some grain i bought which is a copper alloy that claims to have a melting point of 1,715 F, which is similar to silver, but after 15 minutes of constant heat with the torch i could barely get the metal to melt at all. Im using a similar ceramic crucible and only have about an once in there. Am i doing something wrong? Should i try aluminum instead since that has a much lower melting point? Thanks!
What metal have you used?
That’s 925 Silver!
Nice video...will check out your others for more in-depth "instruction". Thanks!
Very cool but this dude is kinda distractingly attractive
LOL... True that. My GF hovered over the time line till she could see more of him and FF to that spot. Thankfully I'm not a jealous guy. Beauty is beauty. He should cast his face. LOL
This is so he can punch werewolfs.
MAke more videos
Just posted a new vid! More to come :)
I have a question. Is there a reason you dont add a small channel to the ring before adding the second half and cutting it out instead? does it make it easier? Or is this just personal preference? I know nothing about the craft and I am very interested in trying this out for a new hobby :) . Also hope to see more videos thank you for the content ^_^
Thank you so much for the great tutorial! I can't wait to try it. :)
Nice video, I like seeing the whole process beginning to end. Nice music too. My one concern is protecting your feet when using the torch to melt silver. Maybe some leather clogs to slip on?
How does the metal not escape into any of the airholes, if that's even a possibility?
A very small amount of metal does escape into the air holes but doesn't make it very far. It contributes to the "flashing" you have to clean up on the outside. I would say it has something to do with surface tension why it doesn't all shoot out. I've had a poorly cut mould with a small sprue hole eject a lot of metal down the air vents before, so its probably just a matter of making sure there isn't too much pressure in the mould.
Amazing I want to try doing this. I’ve made carbon fiber rings and opal and a few others but never tried silver yet. Love the video.
Totally recommend giving it a go! Have fun
Awesome piece. This was the most chill video I’ve ever watched. Think I got a contact high just from the music
We need more videos!!
coming sooooooon
Daaamn
thanks so much!
Also is that actual baby powder? Sorry I’m a newby😂
So I think you're supposed to use talcum powder but I'm lazy and I used actual baby powder haha. Works fine for me. Not sure if the modern additives negatively affect the sand or make the fumes more toxic though so I'd recommend ordering talc and will probably do the same at some point. I will say the squeeze bottle is super nice to use... :)
What kinda gas torch do you use and is it strong enough to season a crucible? Thank you🙏 the ring turned out beautiful🤌🏼
Looks like ts4000 with Mapp gas
@@KuveraJewelry thank you👍🏼
I use MAP gas with a torch head that's rated for MAP gas. I hear butane works but the price difference is negligible and MAP burns hotter... so it saves time. Also I think makes a bigger difference if you want to melt anything with a hotter melting point like copper.
Very cool!
Nice ring! Can you explain what "conversion" you used, to calculate how much silver you needed? I didn't grasp it in the video too well! Also, what kind of compound did you use to polish it? Thanks.
Hey sorry for the late reply. I saw it in someone else's video. You can find a calculator like this one www.unitedpmr.com/calculators/casting-weight-calculator/ and find out how much silver you would need to make up the same volume as wax. Then double it so that there's enough to fill up the sprue and so that it doesn't cool down too much on its way down.
your voice gave me a boner and im not even gay

Hi can someone tell me why my sand flows out when i make the air vents? How can i stick the sand in?
Sorry can you elaborate? Not fully sure what you mean!
@@landcraftworks yeah. Basically the sand is not sticking in the mold. Just slips out
Hello, what wax do you use and where do you get it from
There are lots of different hardnesses and shapes of carving wax you can find at Rio Grande and PMC Supplies
What sand is that?
That was Petrobond sand but I since have switched to Delft Clay and I really recommend it! Worth the price difference because it lasts so long and makes your life so much easier
Apakah ada penambahan water glas?
Great video I love the lighting in the garage or wherever that was when you were Casting! Good music too! Make more videos, please!😊❤
New video up now, more to come! What would you like to see me make?
Amazing. Would love to watch a tutorial video for your wavy ring you are wearing too :)
To answer your question as to what would happen if you don't make air vents, it wouldn't fill the mold. Since air and metal can't exist in the same space and the air has no way to escape the metal kind of sits on top of the air and doesn't flow into the part that you actually want formed
Thank you so much.
What type sand is this bro?
This is Petrobond sand but i've since switched to Delft Clay! if you're willing to pay double for the initial investment in the sand I would recommend Delft clay... will save you a lot of time and heartache
Great tutorial-thanks I’ve always had issues with rings not fully casting-your huge sprue channel is what I will do next time. If you add a flex shaft to your Dremel, it will make it so much easier for fine control.
