A lot of car parts are cast aluminum and have magnesium in it. Magnesium will catch fire so be careful. But it will work. Thanks for watching. I'll be doing another casting soon. If you have any questions my email is in the about channel tab.
If I were Jeff Bezos (money to burn) I might get one of these masterpieces made of silver or gold. A large nest would look great mounted on a polished walnut wood base sitting on a side table under a large agrarian subject oil painting.
That was FLIPPING AMAZING!!! 👍👍👍👍. You got my gears turning again, lol. Oh, one other thing, get a container of "Morton's No Salt". Add about a teaspoon, and stir it in quick, right before you pour. It 'degases' the aluminum
What a beautiful form of art. I’ve never seen a video with the ants still visible. Makes it an added value. Beautiful. And I can imagine time consuming. Well, done!
Thank you for the kind words. The video was too much talking but i plan on replicating the carbon imprint casting this coming spring. Ive accomplished it twice. The trick is large ants and lower temp pour. Thank you very much for watching!
@@00_negative oh wow, I don’t actually do this but with your response I can see that it’s more science behind it as well as talent. Definitely a new fan and subscriber.
What part of south Carolina you from?(just general area is fine) I'm wondering because I want to cast a few hills but don't have any way to do them and I'm in SC too
“They were preparing for winter… aint make it tho” 😂
There's a leak in the city sewer system, but you just plugged it up, along with the sewer!! (JUST KIDDING!!!!")
Volcanic eruption- ant edition
Seen a video on facebook. I think I found my new hobby, I have enough car parts to melt down. Freaking awesome man.

Thanks for the tip. Will do that next time
@@00_negative when mixed with saltpetre and sugar, it also makes a Royal purple smoke bomb. Just in case you're wondering that is.. lol
I could watch you for ant hills all day. Good stuff
Manifesting this for all anthills
Nice forge lol i haven't made one yet but your creativity is impressive.
Any pour that you do and not get hurt is a great pour
That was amazing nice looking cast wished you could have gotten the whole nest but still good keep it going! May God Bless you and your family Greatly
Thank you sir. And may many blessing find you
That was exceptional! Never saw this before. Thanks for introducing me to another addictive time thief. Lol
Lol.....time theif. Glad you enjoyed. It is fun but can be work.
@Benton Smetana how does this tie in with Ant nests?
I guess its a new way to promote things

Man that was a fun video, got to see the whole process! Cheers
PPE?? What’s PPE?😂
🤣🤣🤣 I learned the hard way since this video. Made a video of it.
That was impressive!! - Thank you for sharing
Great work! Loved it! How do you find and select which anthills to cast? Just pick one and go?

I'm in Lexington but I also know the Castor in Sumter
I’m impressed.
I like your t shirt
My daughter bought that for me on fathers day lol. She reminds me of.....me
That was gnarly!
That turned out awesome, done a few pours, never ants. Gotta try that
Its fun just keep in mind you dont know how big it will be. I was guessing 5 lbs but it was almost twice that.
An interesting craft ! !
🙂😎👍
That was cool. Fun to watch. I'd buy that pour. 👍👍👍🇺🇸
Skip to 10:03 for where you first see molten metal
13:47 for the final pour
14:37 for the dig
🤣🤣🤣 it was on the long side. Working on that.
How much do these go for
Well what would you be willing to pay. Ive never tried to sell them so I dont know.
Good video
Glad I found your channel. I love to support local SC TH-camrs. Keep it up.
Send those ants to HELL
Half of this video is all about melting aluminum.
Yes sir it is. I have a bad habit of explaining everything im doing. Trying to get out of that habit. Thanks for watching.
@@00_negative please don't! I learn a ton from your describing things
And? Considering he was melting the aluminum in order to make the cast it is part of the process, isn't it?
Have you or anyone you know ever try to pour down a ground hornets nest, bet that would look cool
Ground hornets actually have a hive built underground I'm not sure how well that would turn out
so nice girl
The average ant has more work ethics than most people; would rather lazy peoples houses be turned into castings than hard working critters.
Too much talking and unnecessary videography, rather focusing on the objective of the video, thus making the video unnecessarily lengthy.
I agree with you 100% and am working on that. Bad habits are hard to break
@@00_negative Great Reply, but one thing I must admit that you're talented
@@00_negative hey I love me a good chatterbox. ❤️❤️
This exactly. Too much unnecessary talking.
I wouldn't have said that so frankly. 😯
But shorter length will increase viewership. Good luck
You guys killed the ants and distroyed their home! This was so unpleasant!
Thank you.
Unpleasant and unnecessary!
He sent those ants to HELL for eternity as they DESERVED
Then why don't you invite all the ants to come live in YOUR house and your yard.
Y did u click on this video then? Hypocrite
