Having fun , learning and experimenting with melting metals at home...
Box bellows.mpg
The box bellows deliver a large air flow at a good pressure which makes them very useful for providing the air to a charcoal furnace or a small forge.
These japanese style?? box bellows were made according to the steps shown here www.twinoaksforge.com/BLADSMITHING/BOX%20BELLOWS.HTM and here www.anvilfire.com/bookrev/kapp/oriental_box_bellows.htm , but i did not follow the exact measurements specified on the websites.

Clay crucible
มุมมอง 268K14 ปีที่แล้ว
This video gives a basic understanding of simple clay crucible. Grog = a refractory material that is in a solid state and does not bind together when water is added to it. Already fired fireclay can be used as grog, after being ground to the right size Disclaimer: use the information given in the video at your own risk
Silver refining
มุมมอง 319K14 ปีที่แล้ว
A micro-scale experiment explaining some principles related to the refining process of silver. Some Questions and answers: -Why use such a small container? =Because the larger the container the more solution of silver nitrate is required, which means that more of your silver is trapped in there. -What are those small spots on your skin? =As you can imagine, it is due to silver nitrate splashes ...
Hammering out a silver sheet
มุมมอง 7K15 ปีที่แล้ว
-started from a 2mm thick silver sheet ingot that i cast using the mold in my 'pouring silver sheet ingot' video, finished by flatteninng it to a thickness of approx. 0.3mm -it took about 1 hour and 20minutes to get the hammering and filming done -there are a few annealing steps which are not filmed. annealing is done by heating the metal in a coal fire until almost red hot. basically i need to...

Old casting project - The Angel
มุมมอง 3.7K16 ปีที่แล้ว
A casting attempt I did two years ago. I used the green sand casting method. I prepared green sand by sifting normal construction sand through a fine screen, later mixing it with powdered pottery clay and water. Didn't mix by ratio, only by consistency. For melting copper I used a gas pipe, made of steel. Problems occured with that as I managed to melt it twice because of the high temperatures ...
Any thoughts on making the crucible using sodium silicate instead of water?
It's important to ram it on all sides.
🤟🏼
Cool project
That was a fantastic video, and i intend to use your instructions to make myself a crucible for casting bronze now.
شكرا لك ❤️
Very good video. Can we use borax while melting gold?
مرحبا قول لي ايش المواد كم حراره في الفران والف شكر لك
th-cam.com/video/smcAG1VFMcI/w-d-xo.html This guy is also making disposable crucibles.... He uses it to make crucible steel (wootz).
Superb video dood! Really useful for my day tomorrow. Got fireclay, got grog, cast one half of a crucible press mould I’ll try and send you a link if I get that far. Thanks for the help👍👍
So it's just clay and a smashed firebrick
Making crucible 1200 degree vodeo
Science bitch
If it is improper for melting metals what is it good for?
Is this a good way to make some extra cash?
Hi hope you don't mind me asking you would it be ok to swap the water with glass water or water glass I forget which way around it goes. kind regards Iain
from where wee get silver scrap
I searched and searched for a video like yours!
nice. Im gonna try this. I just cast a 2 mm thick ingot. gonna hammer it tomorrow. :)
Can you describe that bellows a bit more wanna make one
Can you use chamotte mortar instead of fire clay?
excellent video, a lot of great advice
using vaseline when inserting a plug.. XD
@fedaikn, Thank you for this great and informative video. I like your accent. Where are you from?
What happen to this guy
Brilliant
i think the process of gradual heating is called proving
Beautiful bellows. I love the clack the wooden valves make. Mine are leather and don't give the same sonic satisfaction, they just hiss a little.
How long did it take to melt the cemented silver?
That was the best video on silver refining. Thank you.
Cool..Nice work.
Can this crucible melt copper? If not, what do I need to mix with the fireclay so that it could melt copper? Would Silica Sand improve it?
I'mHungry it can melt anything with a meltingpoint liwer than iron
Awesome! Thank you. God bless.
where you get the grock?
I'm looking to make a crucible / bowl, larger than yours to melt glass in and I have a few questions, if I may ask? Ceramic clay and foundry clay are they the same? Can Ceramic clay / bowl be reheated to 2300 degrees multiply times without it cracking? Thanks in advance for any info. Kevin
S WHAT I CAN USE THE CRYSTAL AgNO3 IN TO MY ELECTROLYTE
That "lung" blower you improvised is an amazing idea
i brought fire clay more than 5 years ago i kept trying to make things out of it but it always fell apart will compressing it stop this or grog and making sure its not too wet
THE BELLOWS IN THE LAST PART IS AWSOME.
Scotch tape insulation, wooden crucible? I guess that's why they call them backyard chemists.
can this crucible melt copper ? dont wanna waste so much on graphite crucible :S can i use the clay found in earth ? home deopt sell some of them xD
Made a crucible of clay today :) I have a lot of dry clay outside my house I smash it up with a hammer until its very fine then mix some water until its like workable, shaped it into a crucible and waited a day to dry. I then fired it in my charcoal furnace. :) works!!! thanks!
how do you make that pump thingy
It is literally a bag with a pipe and two sticks.
where on earth do you get the nitric acid .-.
if you cant find nitric acid you can use amonia which is easily bought from any supermarket in the cleaning isle
+fedaikn is there a reason why you use rechargeable batteries instead of normal batteries? Would this work with normal batteries?
+Autumn Burtram well...you can use normal batteries, but what do you do when they are empty? in fact you should use other power sources, like a PC power supply. youtube has some videos on that theme. use whatever you can find as long as the voltage does not exceed 3.5V
Just wondering - Can the crucibles be reinforced with some metal wire insert while being made ? Will that be internal stronger and can have more strength?
+Liem Duong the wire is most likely going to crack the crucible open because it will expand when hot, far more than the ceramic material.
You're Right - They have different thernal expansion rate - Thanks
I should have watched your vitdeo. I had a crucible - after melting Alum - I removed it from the oven and let the metal cooled in the crucible - I cracked 4 - crucibles after a few burns. Thanks for the information - I will follow your method and use the cracked crucibles to make the new ones. Thank Ypu so much for your posting
+fedaikn hello nice video there, can I get some help here, I need Silver Nitrate for my project, as its not cheap I thought of making some my self now as I understand making it with pure 999 silver nothing complicated but I have lots of spare 925 silver so before making silver nitrate I need to purify my 925 silver first using all method in this video? I just did't get the last part were do I get that silver sheet from?
+Laiptiniu Remontas it is very simple. digest some of your 925 silver with nitric acid. then cement the silver out with copper metal. wash the cemented silver well , just like in my video. now you have cemented silver that is almost pure (maybe 990). you can redissolve this silver in nitric acid to make silver nitrate for your project. if you need it very pure than just recristalize this silver nitrate solution like here /watch?v=uVA0rK_VITY i made the silver sheet from the washed cemented silver. just melted , poured an ingot and rolled it out. it was pure enough for my purpose.
what a great video, very well done. I love your billows, I use a leaf blower or air compressor and they work great, but they use electricity yours is awesome. I subscribed . thank YOU
