That was a totally inspirational film with fantastic results and good narration, people like your good self are great researchers and a also great teachers. Thankyou for sharing your results you have given me and my team a great inspiration to use this technique.
So Alex Steele has been playing around with lost wax brass casting, and I told him to come check out your channel, even though you hadn't uploaded anything in quite some time. The next day? Here you are uploading again. Welcome back, I've missed your videos.
Fantastic! I'm struggling finding the right mix and procedure for the ceramic shell. Would a mix of 1 parts Powdered Clay, 1 part powdered chamotte and 1 part water work? Dipping in layers with drying in between until the thing is quarter-inch thick? My concern is that the whole ceramic shell would shrink or warp during burning. Maybe if i use mostly chamotte and only a little clay, i end up with a shell that doesn't shrink. I would be thankfull for further instructions.
Is there a chemical to erode the ceramic in small crevices? I have some designs that would probably not work unless the shell can be dissolved or eroded. Thanks
Ransome and Randolph... this shell material was the suspendaslurry fs and is not rated for iron casting they may a zr slurry that is specifically for ferrous metals..
If you sprue it up right you can use an air chistle on the top with the bottom resting on a solid surface and it will vibrate alot of it off. But internal areas need to be drilled with a masonry bit and then sand blast what ever is left.. Stuff is a bit like a soft concrete...
What kind of brand of clear coat did you use, and is that a cleaner result then trying to sand down the print lines, and I appreciate all the videos you’ve put up on this topic I’m learning a lot
You have a website or a way to get in touch? I have two parts that make a set where I need 200 sets on an initial order with larger subsequent orders to follow. Please let me know.
Hello Sorry i'm not easy with english, then i may have missed it : how did you melt the cast iron ? Did you do it yourself, since it melts at high temperatures ? Thanks for your videos !
I'd like to commission you to reproduce some car emblems, hood ornaments or recommend someone who can. I'm amazed I can't find someone who does this kind of thing

Super cool! I never saw cast iron in ceramic shell done on YT before.
Glad to see you back. Those turned out great 👍
Very cool! I'd love to see how you make the ceramic shell

He's got a second one too, but I'd start there.
Glad your back at it. Looks great
Got here by vegoilguy! Nice to see a fellow metal caster! I think I can learn a thing or two from you 👍 subbed

Thank you so much for your kind words :)
It's great to have you back. Always following your wok with great interest.
Thank you, been moving into my new larger shop will be making more videos soon..
That's awesome, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful castings. I have done Zinc, Aluminium and Brass so far in conventional lost pla/ investment.
I must try this! 🙂
Welcome Back!...
Was hoping to see your foundry setup. Cast iron is pretty high temp. Cool stuff.
ratgreen he uses the same setup that he uses for all the other videos. Just add extra air

This is badass. When you clearcoat them did it change the dimensions of the part a lot?

That’s freaking awesome man!!! Congrats super success where did you purchase the ceramic if you don’t mind me asking?
Ransome and Randolph... this shell material was the suspendaslurry fs and is not rated for iron casting they may a zr slurry that is specifically for ferrous metals..
Fantastic work. Do you still cast iron in ceramic shell? Can I commission you to cast some locomotive parts?
Wow, fantastic work! Can you give details of the ceramic shell? How many layers, in what order, ect.
Never mind, I just joined the forum and looking at your thread on this cast. Lots of great info!
Hi which forum would i found this on please. Great results
Very cool.
Neat video.
how hard is the shell to remove just ordered a bucket and will be picking it up next week I can't wait

Do you cast parts for customers? I'm needing a screw cast for my 4 jaw lathe chuck.
Yes but something like that you might be better off just machining one.
Is it an acme thread??
@@aonemarine it is left hand acme thread with a gap in the middle. It also ofcourse has the square hole in one end. The original is cast.
@@jesusisalive3227 Send me a picture of it with some rough dimensions just add @aoldotcom to my Y/T name...

Email sent.
Good to see ya again. Long way from yosimity sam.
"Sam" was proudly on display on the '23 T-Bucket yesterday at the Good Guys Spring Nationals in Scottsdale Az.
@@TheTraakon Did many people take notice??
@@aonemarine Almost everyone notices and the kids love it. :)
Hope the work on the new homestead is going well and glad to see you back.
Any fumes during the dipping process?
I need to know what kind of foundry you have built to cast iron pls.
It's a small propane furnace that has a 6" bore and uses a 3/4" reil burner with a hair dryer for forced air...
Love to possibly do a colab with you at some stage, been wanting to metal cast some of my custom printed rcs into mini hotwheels replicas
Judging by that accent, I think you might be a bit to far away and shipping costs would be horrible!!

Hello
Sorry i'm not easy with english, then i may have missed it : how did you melt the cast iron ? Did you do it yourself, since it melts at high temperatures ?
