- Lost foam casting a branding iron for my foamies
Do at own risk. Molten metal is dangerous and lots of people get hurt. Protect yourself. your skin may heal but your eyes won't. wear proper gear. cheers

Very interesting.
yeah man. Lost foam casting is pretty crazy. i still don't get how it even works but it works really well. cheers
@@stevesrt8 Really nice 👍
Great idea! That will save some time for the model making and the cnc machine. 👍
thanks man. i poured some tops yesterday. i kind of like the look. doesnt look routered in like before. softer feeling. cheers.
@@stevesrt8 Your package arrived today 😁👍
@@ralphmourik awesome. Finally lol
Very cool!
I’m happy I learned last night you make videos.
thanks man. it was fun hanging out with you guys. I dont post a lot. once or twice a month. Cheers
@@stevesrt8 it was a lot of fun. So glad you were there and had a good time.
Great video man! I'm thinking the zinc isn't melting the foam all the way.
Definitely would be cool to make it so you can use a drill press. Even pressure
Thanks Bud. I agree. its crazy how hard the sand gets. reminds me of the foam gumming up on the router bit. pretty sure thats it. works well though. poured a few pieces yesterday and it worked out good. drill press could be cool but i think with some practice it will be fine with the pliers.

Awesome work dude. I think it works really well Steve. You always do awesome work we all have some fails. 👍🤙🍻
Thanks Buddy. I cast a few tops yesterday. it works pretty well. happy with that. cheers
Looks like that will work for you cool 👍 Keep us posted like to see how them signs turn out !
Thanks Bill. I casted a few pieces yesterday. it worked out nice. builing a few stools now. might be a longer vid coming up but excited about it. cheers
gr8t idea steve cant wait to see how they look aftr the pour
Thanks Bud! I poured some yesterday! worked out really well. working on some stools for a fundraiser for a friend of mine. next vid will be pretty epic. cheers
cheers back man@@stevesrt8
@@numbskullskills get your furnace going buddy. you'll be hooked! lots you can do with foam without a router setup. look into a hotwire cutter.
bad news the motor for the blower is to weak to run the fan so i need to find another one. i made a wire cuttr sometime ago, i robed the parts for anothr project. iv made a few patterns that have been settin for probley 10yrs lol. i did find a router might order it next maybe the next. i sold a gantry (engine lifter) so ill probably get some things iv been wanting@@stevesrt8
i did the fiber insulation stuff @@stevesrt8
Cool stuff Steve!
Thanks Brother, Cheers!
Cool video nice work thanks Lee
Thanks Lee. Cheers Bud
Nice job! That is a weird reaction of the zamac with the sand, never seen that before :)
Thanks! yeah, i'm pretty sure its foam residue. I think i'll try and get the metal hotter next time. cheers
@@stevesrt8Maybe coat/dip the foam pattern before casting? I've never done zinc/zamac, but I always coat foam for aluminum pours.
@@kisoia yes me too. it had a thin plaster coating,
Great video and idea
Thanks Man. Its handy. worked out well enough for sure
Wow this is very cool.
Thanks Mrs! cheers
very cool
Cheers Woody. Thanks man.

That's really interesting. Is that what they call lost foam? What do you use to carve the foam, a laser?
yeah its pretty wild. i still dont understand how it works but it works really well. The foam burns away so you have to make a pattern for every pour. I have a cnc router for carving. cheers
Hi Steve, I wonder how deep you normally cut your lettering? Do you taper or round over your lettering? I'm getting closer! David
I’ve been cutting around 1/8 - 1/16. Just straight cut. Pretty basic. I want to maybe upgrade my software and try some v-groove stuff. Happy for you Sir. That’s gonna be a fun rig you got
Hi,
can you tee me, which router do you use ?
How long do you dry the plaster before you cast ?
Thanks Olli
Hi Oli. I am using a cnc plasma table that i converted to use a router. It's not ideal but it works ok for what i need it for. I usually let the plaster dry for a couple days. normally i try and set up a lot of castings to do at the same day so im prepping patterns well in advance of casting.
@@stevesrt8 OK, thanks Steve for your fast replay ! Greetz Olli
Well that is just cheating!
Lol. i cast some tops yesterday. it worked out good. so much easier.
