Making a Skull Ring in Sterling Silver

Burnout time is 60 minutes: Check the clock for beginning and cast.
In this video I show you from start to finish how to investment cast your own skull ring. I ended up making the ring for my daughter who is the one that put this video together.

I am realizing, I do not have merely a hobby but a lifetime quest.

[@craigdabler-thediycastings7511]

You’ll get there.

Hello sir,
You did a marvelous job.
Sir, is there anh chance you can sell it, in jewellery shops in India - they are not selling this item, and if - not as refined as yours.

This is probably a real beginners question, but how do you know how much water to start out with?

[@craigdabler-thediycastings7511]

It's a great question! Investment brands have directions which tell you the ratio of how much water to investment to mix correctly. I used R and R Ultravest and on their website they have directions.

Never seen a kiln firing machine like yours does it take same time as a normal burn out kiln thanks don

[@craigdabler-thediycastings7511]

60 minute burnout is the average.

[@CliClasp]

Very interesting and useful, what's the operation at 10:26? And at 10:57, how long is the burnout and at what temperatures? Thank you

[@Bushman42069]

What does steaming the flask achieve prior to burn out? I’ve never seen anyone else do this method?

[@donwatts6588]

I do the same stops all the smoke from wax and is the best way to do before burn out

[@gabolujan3109]

I can’t hear anything

[@craigdabler-thediycastings7511]

TH-cam removed the sound and I haven't edited it yet.

[@evilborg]

not a music video..... you can remove that stuff

[@craigdabler-thediycastings7511]

My daughter added it and is proud of it so just turn down the volume.

[@toutalegout]

vacuuming the plaster isn't necessary. make it thiner and pour it twice.

[@craigdabler-thediycastings7511]

I've been doing this 38 years and honestly I completely disagree.
