- A STUNNING result with this aluminum melt - a beautiful, heavy cross. You'll want to check this one out.
I did this melt specifically for my friends Ritch and Danielle who are celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary. Cheers to them!! - บันเทิง
Yup No karaoke bar for you my friend. At least you melt metal Great👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣
Super video and ideas. The singing and dancing was my favorite 🤣 🤣 keep rocking it bro!
Thanks brother, I appreciate it! But lets be honest - the singing and dancing was horrendous!! Actually, probably what made it funny.

I love this and I want to do it as well

Thanks buddy. I was surprised it turned out as good as it did. It's pretty crude looking but it worked. Email me at skullermetals@gmail.com. Question for ya.
How the heck have I not seen your work I just don't know but here I am now subscribed and hit that bell. Pure genius man s god of fire.
Hey thanks Ian!

Awesome casting
Thank you!
COOL My wife and I did our 22 year aniversary on the 13th as well
They look awesome.
Thanks Dan!
i like to see some nordic gold pours sometime
#MtDew needs to sponsor. I like the Diet Dew. Great video
Thanks buddy!
I used to drink the diet dew but has a funky taste. Plus I'd rather drink real sugar than whatever sweet chemical they use. But whatever.....I also eat fast food so I'm probably killing myself with that crap.
silver scorpion was here at my place this weekend
Look forward to seeing the vid.
Now do silver! 🤠
I love this video real masculinity real results 💪🏾🇺🇸
What is the aluminum slag good for?
That dust will make fir a quick melt.
I want to do this. I hope you can teach me.
Slag isn't good for anything really. You can remelt it and try to get more metal out of it, but remelting 2-3 times is about all that's required, if that. The amount of metal you'd get is low compared to the propane you'd spend melting it.
Cool casts, got a few ideas for casting myself that I haven't seen anyone do yet either. Sorry I haven't been able to email you the pictures of me using channel locks on my cast iron pot for pouring zinc, my phone is being a pain and I can't get it to pair with my PC much less do it the old school way by downloading the info to my PC directly just by hard lining it. Never been comfortable sending emails from my phone directly. As soon as I can get this mess sorted out I'll send those pictures....or maybe just the video entirely since I'd have to take screen grabs from it.
It's all good. I get it.
You may be overheating your alum a bit. The fact that your crucible was cherry red seems a bit overkill for what is needed to melt alum. May be worth picking up a temperature gun and step back a bit on the propane usage. My 2 cents.
Good point here. Save a little fuel. Less cost!
@@SilverScorpion with current cost on fuel for the vehicle, can't afford to drive to the propane store! :)
I had my regulator set at 0.1 so that should be right for aluminum. First time I ran it inside so maybe I could have scaled back a bit.
@@SkullerMetals .08 for aluminum I think.
@@SilverScorpion Ok, I didn't know that. I'll definitely try it out. With gas prices nowadays I was thinking of using charcoal.
I'm new to sandcasting. Every time I fill the mold with the delft clay and pound it down, the clay will "split" open on the mold. Usually it splits in a different part of the mold, that I'm pounding. I hammering the clay in fairly hard. Is it possible I'm doing it too hard? I just can't understand what's causing this. When I turn the mold over, the bottom of the mold is nice and smooth. Can you please tell me what could be wrong? Thank you in advance.
Oh dude, I wish I could help you but I haven't done a lot of sandcasting. I haven't heard of that when people use Petrobond. Is that what you're using or did you make your own casting sand? I think there needs to be enough moisture/oil in the sand to keep it from cracking. That is my initial thought anyway.
@@SkullerMetals Thanks for the reply. I use delft clay. It seems to be moist, so I can't figure out what the problem is!
Cross turned out nice
Not in them sandals will I do this
Thanks for letting me know how you're going to dress when you melt. Good to know.
