Melting cast iron at home - Element Cube Collection (DIY)
มุมมอง 19Kปีที่แล้ว
We have reached the seventh cube for the element cube collection: Cast iron! Made from a pair of disc brakes, which was quite a challenge to get melted due to cast iron's high melting point. As something new the cube is engraved using electro etching, where an electrolyte of vinegar and table salt is used. The power supply is set to 12V and draws around 500-1000 mA. Please remember good ventila...

In this video we will be making the lid and spring assisted hinge mechanism! This will keep the heat inside the kiln and make it easy to open it single-handed. 4mm thick steel flat bar and 1" steel tube is used for the construction. Everything is bolted together with M12 threaded rod.
Casting a Heavy Lead Cube - Element Cube Collection
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Lead is added to the Element Cube Collection today! Which now up to seven cubes :) I am remelting the lead ingots from a previous video into a 5x5x5 cube, while taking all the needed precautions needed when working with a toxic element. The cube is covered in several layers of acrylic spray to make it less dangerous to handle and touch afterwards.
Ultimate DIY Electric Kiln Guide - The Heating Elements (part 2)

Teapot Melted into Copper Anvil
มุมมอง 743ปีที่แล้ว
A teapot falls out of the sky and is melted into a 500g copper anvil. The anvil is casted using a 3D-printed pattern designed by my brother Sebastian and myself. It is printed on the Prusa i3 mk3s and the casting sand is our home made "green sand". Music by: Jon Stage (First song in this video) jonstage.com
Ultimate DIY Electric Kiln Guide - The Fire Bricks (part 1)
มุมมอง 66Kปีที่แล้ว
This series explains how to build an electric kiln/furnace/oven, which can be used to melt metals, fire ceramics, burn out casting moulds (and make marshmallows). In part 1 we start by cutting an old almond oil drum into the bottom and top lid pieces. Then fire bricks are cut to the correct shape to form an octagon shape, and finally they're mounted in the oil drum. The silicate insulation mate...
Casting a Yellow Brass Cube - Element Cube Collection
มุมมอง 426ปีที่แล้ว
Next cube to be added to my element cube collection is Yellow brass, which is a common alloy consisting of 33% zinc and 67% copper. First the copper is brought up to its melting point around 1089°C, and then the zinc is added. As seen in the video; the copper is too hot which causes some of the zinc to burn away (the green flames and white smoke). The first attempt results in a cube with a big ...

In this short second part of the DMX LED light project, the thermal performance is improved with a larger heat sink letting the LED board run at 20 watts without any active cooling.
Casting a 100$ Tin Cube
มุมมอง 4502 ปีที่แล้ว
Today I cast a cube of 99.9% pure tin with my friend Andreas Hvid. When finished and sanded I went to get the cube engraved on an XCarve CNC with help from my other friend Adam. The Tin was purchased from even.one (no affiliation or sponsor)
A hot LED PCB - DMX Spotlight Build, Part 1
มุมมอง 4892 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the first video in a series where I will be creating a DMX controlled LED spotlight completely from scratch. First we take a look at making the schematic design for the LED panel, followed by assembling it and then finally testing the thermal performance of it. Four high power Cree XHP50.2 LEDs are used for this design.
Building a gas furnace for metal melting

Building a gas furnace for metal melting
Now it makes sense! my mom had this “beach”-saying: “Once you go black, you will never go back”. She is right afterall! Black is much harder, tougher, and can withstand a multi-hour “warm-up” - and still keep on hammering and smashing the bloom! For hours!!
You promised me you would be back soon! Why are you not back?
I really like the way you presented the information about this build. I want to make an electric aluminum smelting furnace along the lines you have made. I wanted to make my furnace capable of just pouring the molten aluminum directly into an ingot mold or a casting jig. Ideas? Thanks, Dave.
Is there blue print of material and design of wiring
Thank you for the video and answers in the comments
couldnt you just take a few cook range 240v heater elements and save yourself all the calculations and cost , these can be found anywhere , thx for sharing ! nice job !!
Dear sir Would you please send me a file with measurements of hinge between bottom and top of the kiln
Tusind tak for videoserien! Den har været uvurderlig til at foretaget DIY reparationer af keramik-ovne!
Таким же способом пробовали железную руду делать из золы. Рабочая схема.
Just want to add that I really am enjoying this tutorial series. Well done!
would ceramic fiber insulation blanket protect your control box?
He is playing Minecraft java edition in real life brah
Can you tell us why is a thin wire gauge not recommended?
That’s pure iron ?🎉
Also I want to add he engineered this kiln very well.
This guy is really smart and good with his electrical. Awesome video! Thanks!
I love clever can-do people like these guys!
Does anyone know where can I find an iron foundry that could make a cast iron cauldron??
OMG!! Thank you for letting this video come into my life!! How much the whole instalation cost you?
Hi Jakob, I would like to know where you got the coil maker or spring maker? Thank you Great job on the kiln
Finally now i can make a newtron gun
Ever done in Denmark???
Can you explain how to wire this setup but using single phase 208/240v?? I’m moderately confident that I have the wiring correct but your validation would be great! I am using a 14/2 SWOOJ cable for the power supply. I will be grounding the components to the electrical component structure and drum as well. I’m also using a GFCI Breaker on its own circuit to power this unit.
And NOW - after 3 and a half video, You tell me this is a 3-phase...🤕
Do you know what cause the kiln to power fail?
melts at ray bradbury's fahrenheit 451 (actually a couple degrees less)
I love this beautiful chandelier, Jakob - thank you! Have you created plans anywhere that I could follow, as I'd love to learn more about PCBs, and am only just getting started with 3-D printing so have a lot to learn... 😊
Many, many thanks. You left me (helped a lot). I have a lathe, but I didn't know how to wind Kanthal wire 1.6mm. I needed 277 threads and then a gap of 3 mm between the threads. It didn't work on the lathe. You showed me the video. Thanks thanks.
I think the iron got hardened and more brittle after quenching, you should probably temper it before cutting
can I have your contact number please.
I hope you continue this project, and thank you for sharing even the pitfalls and failures with everyone. A "how NOT to" guide can be every bit as useful as a "how to" guide!
What is heat resistant cement ???? I got confusion
Infinite money glitch thanks man. I'm gonna look for resources in my area
Did you write up the Design Requirements in LaTeX solely for this video? Respect.
I was all in ready to get my nephew to help me building this kiln based on Part 1…. until the power design requirements. I’m too scared now 😂. Excellent video though
I see you don't have thermal insulation other than the firebricks. Is it enough? What temperature do you measure on the outside of the barrel, when inside it is 1300 degrees Celsius?
How much time will taken melting iron bro
Beautiful, I’ve just cast a silver ring for the first time, I didn’t have enough to make it all the way round so I’ve made a smaller design and plan to recast it soon
How much bloom from the 70 kg ore ?I can't grasp it ...
Did you end up finishing this project?
Its been 3yr since the smelt ... have you finished consolidating the rest of the bloom yet, and made anything with it ?
I thought best practice was to mix limestone with the iron sand to assist slag formation and runoff ? BTW your plinth probably should have been underlaid by 4 small I beans ... it wouldnt have tilted the way it did when you harvested the bloom (6:50).
Where’s part 5 here?
How do you control the ramp in order to not heat too quickly?
great video!
Oh I see it was a success when I saw the lump.
It didnt break after seven turns because you have more distance than last time so it looks to me like both pieces were good quality and about the same.
No protection gear, nice job showing how not to do such kind of job!
Underrated video, you deserve more subscribers and likes!
What is the name of softens that you put on the melting cast
