  • This video details an aluminum sand casting process to create a Fallout 76 emblem from a video game, along with tools I made to aid me in sand casting. The emblem is from the Brotherhood of Steel clan in the game.
    Disclaimer--Metal casting is dangerous and can cause injury or death. This video is only for entertainment purposes.

    Fallout 4 was a great game that I watched my son play. He didn’t like 76. Far Cry 5 is really entertaining too…great video as always.

    Great job 👍
    I don't know the specifics on pouring temperature, but it does matter. A lot depend... The time it sits before you pour, the temperature of your sand, and how large you are pouring. If you do lost foam it probably needs to be hotter than sand casting.

      Yup totally agree, I just need to figure the best temp for my application. The lost foam that you are doing on your channel I would imagine would need more heat because you are burning away the foam in your lost foam process. Your stuff looks pretty good too. Thanks for leaving a comment!

    Your subscriber numbers definitely do not reflect the quality of your works. For what it is worth coming from a beginner, I think your castings are some of the best I've seen out there. Watching you has ensured that when I finally do my first casting it will turn out better for it. Keep up the great work.

      You have no idea how inspirational your comment is to me. I have been trying to learn from TH-cam also, plus I have a couple of friends that have degrees in material engineering that have been helpful to me. I can guarantee that when you do start casting, if you use the correct sand, good quality patterns, correct parting powder, and an aluminum alloy that is formulated for casting, you will start creating some good casts sooner than later. Thanks again for the comment, it means a lot.

    I have a question : what is petrobond ?? Is it (100% clay whith oil) or (mix 50% clay and 50% sand whith oil) or what is't exactly I hope you answer me 🙏

      I would like to be able to give you an exact answer but I can't. I purchased a premade petrobond from a company because I wanted to start off with having the potential to have less problems. There are several videos on youtube where somebody shares their homemade formulation. Many of the formulations contain some type of silica sand being the majority of the content along with bentonite clay, people normally get from a type of kitty litter, and a small amount of sometype of oil. I think your best bet to making your own petrobond is to find a youtuber that has already done it and has proven good results with their castings. Sorry I couldn't give you more help. You are just going to have to put the research in or purchase premade petrobond.

      Great casting man keep it up ✌️✌️

      @@DamonsMetalCasting you don't make oil bonded sand using bentonite clay, you need an "organoclay" which is a chemically modified form of bentonite that is mainly used in the oil extraction industry, which has been changed so it absorbs oil like regular clay absorbs water. An activator/catalyst is also needed, but the organoclay is the hardest to find ingredient. I got my hands on a 2# sample, that's enough to make a 40# batch but aside from that I can't get it anywhere in Canada unless I want a whole pallet of 50# bags of the stuff (or move to the oil fields and try to con someone there out of a bag). That's why not many people try to make their own oil bonded molding sand.

      Yup, thanks for the correction. I looked back online and found this quote which is basically what you stated "Clays such as Bentonite and Hectorite are treated with quaternary fatty-acid amine to create the organoclay. This treatment changes the clay from hydrophilic to organophilic. Simply stated, the treated clay attracts oil instead of water."
