Casting a Bronze Megalodon Tooth │Shark tooth fossil
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I cast a 6" bronze Megalodon tooth in my backyard foundry. I used bronze consisting of 90% copper and 10% tin to create this tooth. It weighs 2 lbs 10 oz.
Megalodon is an extinct species of shark that lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, during the Early Miocene to the Pliocene.

Love the use of the patina on only the root of the tooth, such an awesome idea to apply to other stuff.
The tooth turned out perfect, the finishing touches made it look almost real.
I had a replica growing up that looks identical to that one! I would use it to open boxes.
😂
Great job! I'm just imagining - a megalodon with a gold tooth ... lol
The area that you ground, you could have taken a tig welder held it away about 1 inch, let the arc pit the ground areas. I did that process on a broken ant colony aluminum cast to hide that it was welded and ground to shape. They couldn't find where it was welded. Anyway just a thought.
This is so cool and well made. Thank you for sharing!!
You could become a shark dentist! Well done, very cool as always.
Imagine replacing real MD teeth with a full set of these.
That would be a crazy grill 😬
it would be that boy would be dripped out
@@renamamiya690 imagine seeing s MD with full golden teeth coming right at you.
@@Laimeme bro that would be one of the best ways to go
I really dig the music choice in this video
Gosh I love your videos. Very well done, well paced, and I learn something new each time.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Amazing I love these shark teeth.
Great finish
Now that is a wall hanger! Nice.
Hi you all . I think this is very professional work!
incredible work, very professionnal, well done !!!
Beautiful job!
Amazing contrast between the polished and patina area.
Thank you!
That is amazing!!! Do more fossils.
I just cast a few Mega teeth, I 3D printed the teeth I used as patterns. I did 2 in copper and 2 in Nordic Gold, they turned out really well. They were maybe, a 1/4 of the size of the one you used, and I had done one about 2x bigger than the others I had done. I am working on a big one now, hope it looks good as the one you did.
"This is the next big casting channel"...
Mark my words
Awesome!
Wow 🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait to cast my first one!
I thought it was amazing so did my brother so I gave it a thumbs up 👍👍👍
That is Beautiful, would like one of those!
Amazing
‼️Amazing‼️
Excellent job
That looks very good!! Great work! One thing though, I recently made some bronze using 12% tin and it came out way more orange, yours seems very yellow, maybe some of the wires you put in were aluminium?
Or I might have done something different, I'm curious to find out. Anyway, very cool project, I might borrow this Idea and cast a Megalodon tooth for a friend that is crazy about sharks. 👍👊
Thanks Ralph, I wonder if the reason my bronze looks so yellow is because it was never given a chance to oxidize? It could also just be how my camera is interpreting color.
Masterpiece 👌
Thank you!
GRILLZZZ
Hi S, Your skills are amazing I'm enjoying your works thank you for your videos etc etc
Looks great!
Thank you!
VERY NICE!!
hola me gustó mucho el video
WOW--- SUPerRR
How do I buy one of these! Love your vids my man
Nicee❤️
Amazing job 👍👌
NICE! That earned a sub!
Bellissimo, mi piacerebbe averne uno..
Very nice!!! Keep going
really pretty
damn son, that's actually pretty dope
How can this guy have nearly 300,000 subs but only 20% have watched this excellent vid?
Bravo
What I've seen of your work I like very much...
Thank you very much!
Good job bro nice and so clean your project keep it up bro 👍
😱 amazing work 👍
Thank you!
dang my dude
Loving your videos! How do you determine the portions of copper/tin...by weight?
Well darn it. now I want to make my own foundry, get a megalodon tooth and copy your work here.
Hotdamn, that looks good!
Next up, Do quartz/Flourite/other crystal out of Bronze?
Yess, a bronze copy of a cubic fluorite cluster
I’d buy one!!!
Great content, as usual :)
Why did you sparkle black sand over the tooth printed part? Is this sand mixed with characaol dust?
Thank you! It was a slightly finer grain petrobond that I used as facing sand. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely nerve-racking ordeal. So much can go wrong at any stage. It's like walking on eggshells the whole time.
I want one , seriously
Wondering what the darker sand was... previously used Petrobond?
Yes it was just a slightly finer but very used petrobond.
I like how the silver ones retained more of the serrated edge, being that you have two silver teeth did you think about tarnishing the root section of one of the silver teeth?
I’d definitely want to turn one of those into a primitive axe... like something from Turok
That would be cool!
Creative mindset.
Again... amazing video! Where did you get the model from?
Thank you! I got it on eBay.
Robinson Foundry
I can see that this job is going to take a very long time to complete; so far you have only made one tooth, but when are you going to finish the whole Megalodon?
Do you save the dust from your projects? I seen others do and then they melt it to make other stuff.
Try it with nordic gold...
Love that fleshy, peachy color it came out as, I wish silver oxide was harder and could easily retain that color
I'm trying to imagine some creature with golden bronze teeth like this and it makes me think of Manticore's in DND where they can build up mineral composition on their teeth and spikes, making them a dangerous but extremely valuable source of pure metal.
This guy sounds like Sciencephile the AI
Two questions? How much and would you ship to the UK?
What’s the point of doing the bottom part of the mold twice?
i didn't know that megladons had golden teeth replacements.
Hey! One thing here... it looked like you reysed some old, black petrobond. I would highly recommend not doing that as the oil (and probably other ingredients) is already burnt up, and it would need some work to rejuvenate it (called mauling or something, cant remember the word). If you keep mixing it in, eventually all of your petrobond will be useless, even though you still have quite a bit, it'll be ineffective. Other than that, your whole casting process is phenomenal, I appreciate the attention to detail and that you obviously have done your research to do everything the best way possible.
what's the clear you use?
Hello! You can tell the ratio of the earth. Thank you
Link to where we can purchase your items.
This is probably a stupid question, but why do you only use the metal file in one direction and not back and forth like sandpaper?
is it weird that i want to make an axe out of that? also 45-90 brass casing?
big qeust:is that a reak tooth?
sir i neeed polish and buffing
How much do you think its worth?
What would it cost me, if I wanted to buy it?
Where can I buy one?
I want 1
Where can I buy this?
It's weird to think that the original tooth of that size probably bit into something as large as a whale.
Whats the finisher
m8, get yesen a bench-mounted polishing mop. soooo much easier. soooo much better
Can I please buy one?
Fvck!ng, Fvck!ng, Fvck!ng #Amazing...!
how much
Amazing casting! It would B nice if U can also make a video about which products to use for protecting the metal and what U have to wear for casting the metal
Fossil spelling mistake on your title
Thank you, I didn’t notice that.
