Ha! I saw your name at tested.com as a contributor and was reeeeally surprised! Not in the way of you being the last ever choice ever mind you. ;) Just that it’s awesome you’re recognized for your abilities! Superb.
Hello, this is the first time that I watch one of your videos and I subscribed to you. I watch a half dozen or so others that melt and pour molten metals on a daily basis. I'm quite impressed with your casting skills on this piece in particular. I understood your potential problems and you were able to avoid those concerns. You should pat yourself on the back because you deserve it. You did an awesome job on this one! I was even able to see the fine lines from the 3D printer you pointed out. Wow!
I agree with Fracture and The Engineering Toolbox Channel, found some great new to me you-tubers. Great mold, definitely a challenging part to cast. Enjoy watching the Project Egress builds. Cant wait to see it all come together today!
A tip with the baby powder when youre casting hotter copper alloys - most baby powder is corn starch these days. The sented oils they use (baby powder smell) can create some surface issues even in petrabond because they release gasses. It does have the benifit of keeping it from absorbing moisture (hydrophobic) but unless you live in a humid place and store it open, thats not normally a big deal. You can use regular corn starch for cooking, or even flower. Theres also more expensive powders that you can get from pottery websites like like realk Talc powder. Its basically a dust from soap stone, and no thats not really what baby powder is. It can contain natural asbestos, which is one of the things present in soapstone, and as such, causes a couple different types of cancers. It works wonders, I use talc with my aluminium bronze leaf blades and there was a major difference for me. But you absolutly must wear a resperator of some sort to keep it out of your lungs. Another tip, use a lady's powder makeup brush to spread it. The soft bristles dont knock so much sand loose which reduces what gets washed around in the mold. You can blow it off all you want, but if that mating layer of sand has grains coated in powder, its gonna come loose when the metal washes over it. And final tip, if your casting sand is more than a few months old, consider drying it out. IT loves ot absorb water despite the oil binder and that causes big issues, not the least of which is loose sticking strength (but you knew that). Ive had petrabond vaccuum sealed from the seller that was wet right out of the bag. To dry it, you can spread it out really thin on a tap and leave it in the sun on a summer day, or lay it down on a clean smooth shop floor with a weed burner waving over it for a bit, before turning it with a shovel and repeating a few times. I like to do small batches, fluffed up, on a big pan, and put it in the oven at 250-275f for a couple hours for each "batch". You can porbably go hotter but it does smell if you start cooking the oil. Oh and let it cool first before handling it. That binder sticks to everything when its warm, and if it sticks to something else, its no longer in the sand helping the sand stick. lol
The chimp / nuke outro seems very fitting for this project in particular! Also-- amazing job, I have been subscribed for awhile and the progress in your results is really inspiring!
Paul, great job man! Subscribing now. I was thinking about doing spin cast brass for my part, but I put some electronics in mine (see my channel for the video) and the radio signal wouldn't have gotten out. Glad to see casting represented! I'm looking forward to seeing the video of everything going together on July 18.
You are in some very good company on Project Egress! I am impressed! Excellent work, great casting. I remember watching the landing on our Silvertone B&W TV.
Awesome project! You mentioned Apollo 13, when I live in the Houston area I had the great privilege of knowing Gene Kranz (the real one, not Ed Harris). It should go without saying that he is probably the most interesting person I have ever met, or am ever probably likely to meet. I knew a couple of astronauts as well, but they just went up to the ISS and went around in circles for months at a time whereas Gene Kranz sent people to the f#@%!^g moon! It's been years and I still can't believe how cool it is to have actually known somebody who played such an indispensable role in events that will be probably be remembered for the remainder of humanities existence.
That's awesome!!! I would love to know some people involved in actual space travel, especially someone like Gene Kranz. The closest I will ever get though is kerbal space program, there's a character in there named Gene Kerman ( everyone's last name is kerman) after Kranz. Serious ability to keep it together under pressure right there!
First time I come across your channel. Project Egress is proving to be a good way to discover new youtubers. Anyway. I like you. You're funny. And good at what you do. Keep it up!
I work daily with aluminium, we lube all cutting and grinding disc´s with beeswax during processing, it works a treat ! Thanks for a nice video and good luck in all coming projects!
first video of you I watch, you're taking part in oroject egress plus you're making cool things plus I hear you're addicted to ksp, that makes me a new sub
I’m trying to track down all the makers involved with this project. I’ve got Adam’s channel, this old tony, blondie hacks and now you. Aaaand now a new subscriber 😁✌️
Super cool Paul! You're making a piece that will be in the Smithsonian?! Nice work on the casting. One little tip; counterintuitively, a lighter hammer is better for stamping. More velocity and less weight gives a sharper impact with less strain on the part. On a thin part like that, you could put a chunk of scrap or something in a vice to support directly under the area to be stamped so you can be sure not to crack it.
Thanks! Thanks for the tip on the makers mark, I'll try that. I haven't sent the part out yet (got some photo documentation to do yet) maybe I'll try the stamping again. I'm a little worried it might crack, it's so thin
awesome job. I like the copper tubing gates. I normally cut mine manually with a melon baller, but youve definitely given me some ideas. The tubing's flexibility could be a great asset in a situation with a pattern that gets cozy in a smaller flask! With that said, you definitely dont have to remove the burnt sand. Otherwise, I like the video and the comedy!
@@PaulsGarage I respect everyones own practice, so not trying to tell you how to cast by any means. I just lose sand enough as it is over time, and I hate to see it lost any faster than needed. I have found that simply mulling it back in revives the cooked sand, and I think the fines that the burnt oil and clay add to the mix help improve surface finish over time (personal experience, I have no data to prove this). I add a spritz of catalyst every time I re-mull, and about every 10 or 15 mulls, I add in several oz of oil. My sand is an odd grey-green color now, but still packs tight as ever. Your mileage may vary, but thats been my experience. Either way, its a great video. Keep up the good work!
I'll bet you made one heck of a Sand Castle at the Beach!! The envy of ALL the kids (and their parents). "Delores! Did You See the Sandcastle that little kid Paul made? And he's only three! It has three Stories! And a Swimming Pool!" :-)
Yo Paul. Use the smooth rounded end of a screwdriver handle...or anything of a similar size to push the fun sticky oily sand through your sifter. It's way less messy...just fyi...
It is i my first time here. I found this video as I've been watching videos on a couple of other channels related to Project Egress. It was interesting to see the process of casting the handle. Have you thought about creating a winding channel in the top of the sand starting at the hole where the excess metal will come up? It would let you give the metal a route to follow that might be long enough to avoid burning the wood?
I havent thought of that, good idea. I usually make a mound to stop it pouring out, but often that doesnt work perfectly. A little charred wood isnt too bad though
It's a bit part but wouldn't lost wax process be a better process, precision wise? I now it's a far longer process but I was wondering. My father was an expert in the field and although I also studied mechanical engineering, he never for once thought me. Shame, it's a cool process. That said, loved your video. Came here from Old Tony upload about his parts for Project Egress. Just subscribed.
this. is. amazing. love this. my wife works for a grant funded by the fed govt, and her annual meetings are in DC every year, so i tag along and visit smithsonians all the time!
Wow, cool you are involved. Next up Paul plays Astroneer... Rationalize == rational lies I think this is one of your best castings ever. It's amazing those little changes have made to your quality.
@@PaulsGarage It's an amazing thing that you were selected and got to participate. I've been Playing Astroneer a little. It's kind of like minecraft in space. Still working towards to big goal (the end?) Sadly the sidekick hasn't gotten to play as the old laptop doesn't meet the minimum system specs.
It's a good idea to not print with glow-in-the-dark when you don't have to, because the glowing powder in it is a high abrasive that erodes brass with no effort at all. You pretty much have to replace the nozzle twice per roll before it grows 0.5mm wider and visibly shorter than it was when it was new. The shape of the nozzle on the inside gets distorted too as the erosion is not completely even. On the other hand, running a tiny bit of glow filament might clean out some gunk once in a while? :D
you should check out the gingery books. maybe model up, and 3d print all the casting parts from the books.. I think that would be a great exercise, and you'll have the added bonuses of having a lathe, mill and or shaper, plus all the models you can just print off again in case you break something :D
Why did you use Mars sand for the Moon lander? Nice work though, looks really good, and found a new channel to watch! #ProjectEgress has helped me find a lot of new makers to watch. Its been great!
I haven't singed my eyebrows exactly but I have instantly removed all the hair from my arms a few times! And R.I.P. Jeb, but at least they are reborn to die in a rocket explosion time and time again
My Dad was on the aircraft carrier that picked up the Mercury and Gemini missions. He and my Mother knew all the astronauts that died in the capsule fire you mentioned.
Hello, I like this video, very good work, I see that the final piece was with a good finish, the aluminum flowed very well even through very small ducts, what type of aluminum did you use?
Somewhere i have the guide to making the Apollo capsule command center (functional) as its based off original plans always wanted to build it but not the 1000's hrs required....ohhh and kerbal is so cool especially with all the mods. Keep up great work i really enjoy your videos and you haha AND GET SOME BOOTS PLEASE!!
2 tools I think you REALLY need. A flex shaft grinder (even a cheap one) its better than a dremel and you can get awesome cutting bits for it. The other thing is a long nose marker. I don't remember the exact name of them but they are handy.
Isn't that how ants make there homes? No, wait; that is how a crazy casting was made, by ants, with the help of a human with molten metal. That thing was huge! It was a long time ago. I don't think I saw it on TH-cam. I would think you are familiar with it? I think is was a documentary. OK! On to your project. Looks good. Really good. You know what you are doing.
I don't know why but the sight of the molten aluminum headed towards the wood at light speed really slayed me. Like seeing your Kerbal's rocket obviously heading for doom but keeping the game on warp speed anyway.
I was giggling because her made SURE to let us know he set it up so as to not burn his Flask "Here." and "Here." and now he has a new "Here." Chuckles.
Yeah first attempt at this handle. With cast aluminum I have pretty good luck, can do one try and get a part that works every time. Same for various bronzes.
you should add some completely left field run-on-sentence dialog "I watched a cat chew gum and thought my refrigerator light was too bright - Ya know?!" or what ever.
you know I've always wondered if it were possible to make a 3D printer filament that mimics wax or Styrofoam for lost wax casting, in that it'll burn/melt away on contact with molten metal.
The best thing about this project is how many AMAZING new YTers it's shown me.
Right? I'm doing the rounds now and I click subscribe each time.
Project Egress has lead to me finding so many awesome TH-cam channels...and you’re from WI!? No wonder you are so crazy. 😂 (hello from Wausau, WI).
"I'm gonna cast in aluminum because I get to play with fire." I like the way you think.
Congrats on being invited to participate!
Good job on the door handle, it looks great, and thanks for allowing us to observe its creation!

you should check out the gingery books. maybe model up, and 3d print all the casting parts from the books..

I was giggling because her made SURE to let us know he set it up so as to not burn his Flask "Here." and "Here." and now he has a new "Here." Chuckles.
Very cool! Did you have to account for Aluminum shrinking?
Yes indeed, I printed it a few percent oversized
Honestly!!! Was that your fist and only attempt at the cast?? Great job, fun to watch!!
Yeah first attempt at this handle. With cast aluminum I have pretty good luck, can do one try and get a part that works every time. Same for various bronzes.
I'd say it handled that stress test well!
you should add some completely left field run-on-sentence dialog "I watched a cat chew gum and thought my refrigerator light was too bright - Ya know?!" or what ever.
This is really cool.
Thanks!
Really cool love space, you rock
Thanks! Space travel is awesome I agree
Welp now I have to watch rewatch Apollo 13 for the second time this week!
Cool you gotta to be involved in something so many will see
I agree, I'm super happy about it
Your casting came out beautifully. Are you melting a bit hot to keep the alu fluid?
Probably. You generally heat it above its melting point such that it doesn't immediately start to freeze when you take it out of the heat.
13:35 "Houston, this is Tranquility Base, we'll have to scrub the moon walk, we can't open the door with these massive gloves."
Or fit through the hatch with the spacesuit on.
Just kick the window out, you don't need air in the lander, you have a spacesuit!
nice casting we did casting like that in high school and yes Apollo 13 is a great movie
you know I've always wondered if it were possible to make a 3D printer filament that mimics wax or Styrofoam for lost wax casting, in that it'll burn/melt away on contact with molten metal.
There is a wax filament, saw some work with it done by black beard projects, hes got some videos on it

Nice Paul!
Thanks!!
