- Hi all melting aluminium cans today
I’ve sand casted a coin with is an 800 years anniversary of Ipswich being called Ipswich
I would say this is my most successful cast to date using petrobond
Hope you enjoy the video

Love videos like this. No talking. No BS. Just show me how it's done.
Thank you 👍
Brilliant piece of work and well done matey, thanks for making this video.
Only a suggestion, when using the casting box I cut razor thin lines from the piece outward to toothpick sized holes that release the air when the metal is going in, I have never had partial fills and the lines are too thin to leak liquid metal. I learned this from Andrew Berry At the bench casting video.
Hopefully this helps. 😊
Thank you I will give that a go 👍
I'm shocked that the coin came out so perfect, without any air vents.
WOW. That coin came out perfect!
Thank you
Yes mate you'v sertently nailed that one. keep the sound of the pond in mate really relaxing good job as usual 👏👏👏👏
Thank you I am very pleased with that coin
Awesome work on reproducing the coin, it turned out perfect. I so thought that was old bacon grease, until I skimmed the comments and seen it was wax. lol
😂😂😂 I thought I would try something different to quince them
Luke that coin man plus another big bar to boot thanks for the video 👍
Glad I found this. Also, I didn't know Ipswich was named Ipswich Town.
Hi there Thank you for watching. Yeah it’s Ipswich uk 🇬🇧
Loved it. Great result.
Wow, that coin turned out really well! I was wondering how much detail it was going to show, because molten aluminum looks like such a goopy metal. But, it shows all the detail of the original.
Thank you
Seeing it in person it actually looks better than the original. I am over the moon with this cast
I like watching this thanks 🇦🇺
Thank you for watching 👍 that probably one of my best videos
Mmmmmmm. Fried aluminum.
😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing, that coin came out great.
Thank you 👍

Thanks for sharing
Thank you

Thank you

Thank you
Great pour. Really captured all f the details
Thank you 👍
Anubis coin casting
This coin looks very nice 👍
Thank you that’s my favourite cast yet 👍
the coin had great detail well done
Thank you
Sand casting doesn't produce fine detail. It is better to use silicone for high temperatures.
Subbed. Great work. And thanks for all the training
Thank you
This is so cool. I want to make a coin with my face on it so I can pretend to be queen. I gotta figure out how to do that, lol
🤣😂 that would be cool. Thanks for watching 👍
Very nice! Thinking 🤔 maybe hot enough to fry!!
😂😂 it’s candle wax
Ta pièce est superbe 👍🗡️
Good video thanks for sharing with the community. I subbed.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thank you
Enjoying glass of milk as i watch this
😂😂
lol using a "bucket" around the bucket for keeping the wax cleaned up a bit more this time!
Yes I got in trouble last time 😂
The details came out really nice.
How hot is this gas furnace? I read that aluminium melting point is roughly 660°C, I set my electric furnace to that but the cans did not do anything other than smoking off the paint. I set it to 730°C and the cans melted but the surface tension seems to be pretty big and it doesnt track details in the mold very well. You dont seem to add anything to the molten metal, is it just the higher temperature which helps it flow better?
Great detail on coin eh
Yes very surprising
Al be up and running this week looking forward to it so far 11 alloy wheels mountain bike blinds and guy generously gave me to copper back boilers to melt so going to be busy
@@underdogmelting6058 blimey the you will be busy
@@meltingipswich be good learning for me hope people take a interest in what im doing a have learned so much from people including your self be nice to give something back
@@underdogmelting6058 absolutely but be patient it don’t happen overnight I’ve just hit my first year mark
I do this when i have no money left i melted some metals to become coins and buy what i need
😂🤣😂
The cooling in wax was just for AMSR effect, I assume, because I could not take my eyes off it... Thanks for the video...
It was something I wanted to try but pretty cool and a bit of fun
You sell those bullions on eBay and will get more money than the recycle centers.
Love the coin, can you make john wick gold coin
I will have a go soon. Thank you for watching
Just saw your video great work I have a question would it be possible to get a small set of coins? We work at the Sherwood Forest fair in Texas and these would be great for our Prince John. Would it be possible?
Absolutely I can cast any coin if I have a model to go from such as a 3d print or another count to copy but also I’m in the uk 🇬🇧
👍⛏️🇦🇺😊🙋
How did you get the detail on the coin to come out so well. Did you add anything to thin the alu out ...did you degas? Threw my first ever cast ..trying to make a sinker mould form friend. Forming was way off. Looks like consistency of the alu was too thick. Need beginners advice please
No I didn’t add anything I think I just heated it higher than usual and scrapped all the dross off. I’m going to make this coin in copper soon
the material that is solid at first when you leave the ingots in the vat and then melts, is wax or some kind of solid fat ?
what is the reason for this process and why not leaving to environment to cool down little by little ?
thank.
Hi there first of al thank you for watching and commenting but there is no reason for it it was candle wax and it was just for a bit of fun 🤩
@@meltingipswich ok, thank again. 🙂
That came out brilliant! 👍👊 What is the stuff in the bucket you used to cool down the ingots and coin? And why? Looks like some kind of fat or oil.
Hi ya. It’s candle wax I just thought I would try something different and it’s pretty cool to watch actually
Thanks for watching 👍
I sell my copper 10 bucks a pound instead of 2 bucks now at the yard
I normally take the scrap value and x 3.5
Why u put wax in ur bucket ?
Amazing job for the coin 👍
Ur ingots look great too
Ty for sharing
The wax is no real reasons I just wanted to try something different
@@meltingipswich ok... stay curious n keep doing experiences...ty
Does the wax make it easier or more difficult to clean the aluminium? I'm just wondering since I have never seen other people cool ingots down with wax before.
Hi there I pour a hot kettle over them before I clean them it pretty much take off all the wax but they clean up lovely
@@meltingipswich so question then. Why quench in wax instead of water? Seems like an unnecessary expense and added effort.
Still trying to justify purchasing my first foundry and I'm trying to learn all I can first.
Nice coin - Not a fan of the wax :P
Curious what the can count was. Awesome video!
I have done a video on 500 cans and I’m going to do a 1,000 cans soon
Thank you for watching
how much for a cheap set on all the items used for sand casting those ingots and the coin?
Sorry do you mean the casting flask
Is that a bucket of butter? 🤔
No it’s candle was I was trying some new and different
What is the white powder you use for easy separation ? Talcum ?
Yeah talcum powder it works perfectly
Which sand did you used
Petrobond
Where did you pick up those ingot molds?
eBay
@@meltingipswich what size
Is it? I've been looking on Amazon, but its tricky to get a feel for the size, and the cast iron ones seem a bit cheaply made. Thanks
@@DrewMann mine is the cast iron one and it’s the smaller one
I really want to get a larger one
What material do you use for the mold? I'm from Mexico, I use a translator for this comment, greetings
Hi 👋
I use petrobond sand
Thank you for watching
Why do you use wax?
It was just a thing I tried 👍
What are you cooling those off in? Frozen Urine? lol
Yeah
😂🤣😂 it was candle wax I just thought I would try something new.
128.003 + 1.712 = 129.715
