Casting a 100$ Tin Cube

Today I cast a cube of 99.9% pure tin with my friend Andreas Hvid. When finished and sanded I went to get the cube engraved on an XCarve CNC with help from my other friend Adam.
The Tin was purchased from even.one (no affiliation or sponsor)

I'm glad you're adding to your collection. Any idea what metal might be next?

I have actually already made a very pretty Bronze cube (90% copper and 10% tin), but I have been a bit under the weather and behind with the video production. And thanks for commenting! It makes it a bit more fun for me. Very appreciated :)

@@jakobhalskov Welcome. It is nice when people respond isn't it.
I look forward to the Bronze cube. Any idea of how many you'd like to make, or are you just doing them as opportunity presents itself?

Indeed! I have a little list in my notebook of the next metals and alloys to try out, which are within reach; both melting point wise and economically. ( Would need to sell my house before doing the 5x5x5 gold cube :b )

I want tin ingots in my colection. . . Alas, Tin is not widely used in favor of Aluminum and cheaper alloys, so I would also have to order it granular first. But it may still be worth it.

melts at ray bradbury's fahrenheit 451 (actually a couple degrees less)

Very cool, but just wondering, what is this cube for?😊

[@jakobhalskov]

This is all just one big hobby project, that I am doing for fun: to cast as many kinds of metals and common alloys available to me :)
Some websites sell these 'element cubes' for quite some money and I like the process of being able to do this myself in my little garage.
