Unbelievable !! Seriously you are a true master. I have never seen such care and craftsmanship before but honestly, just watching you work it was an emotional and enlightening experience. Truly love what you do !
Great video! I used to make small bronze castings like this all the time. Working on a small scale is very meditative. A little Goo-Gone will also smooth away printing lines. Smells nice like orange oil too
Another brilliant project, resulting in a beautiful gift. Your metal casting, like your other work, is really first class. Well done, and thanks for posting this video!
I've never seen casting investment used the way he goes about it! I really like that technique and will have to try it out next time I do a lost wax casting!
Casting stuff looks like fun, if I ever could get my ass to try some of the more basic techniques. This turned out awesome though, is it regular solder you used to fill in the hole?
Haha!! :'D Yes, plain old solder. I have been suggested in my last brass casting video to try that for holes and I have to say it works really well! Thanks guys. Btw the new logo is LIT
Just made a voiceover edit of this video! Live on my Patreon page, everyone can see it. :) If you like what I do consider supporting me so I can keep making videos. www.patreon.com/blackbeardprojects
I love the medieval music. Really makes it feel like the techniques you're using are connected to ancient craftsman long gone. Awesome video man. Makes me want to get into casting.
I'm sure you would enjoy it a lot! Aluminum-Bronze drillpress table? :'D Can't wait to see how it goes with the cast iron replacement. Thank you man :)
1/3 is that typical failure rate. I really was surprised. The whole time I was watching I thought this seems so much easier the lost foam casting with sand. I still think it may be. The one that survived looks amazing. Great video.
i would say that you shouldn't have any failures beyond an errant glitch, but if only one out of three was serviceable then you got lucky once out of three times. a 33% success rate might be great if you're trying to hit a baseball, not so much if you're trying to make a product for sale. for a hobbyist, that's fine, at least the failures and scrap are re-usable, lol.
Hi, great fun to watch you doing your thing as always but consider print those things in ABS, vapor smooth them, make a silicone mold of the model and cast wax in the mold. Should provide you with far better results and mistakes are not a big deal since you can reproduce the wax model quickly and cheaply. Moldable silicone isnt really expensive either
Tedris Threed Silicone is decently expensive, a hard mold would also suffice. It would save on the expensive wax filament if he was making a lot of them, and save on print times in that case. Otherwise it's just faster to print the pieces individually
Tedris Threed I can't find any kits under $20, and they're half pound kits. Maybe, it depends how big you make the mold. However, they do have pre-made molds for much less
i can buy molding silicone straight from amazon for 30 bucks (1kg). A mold for this tiny pendant should weigh max 100gr. thats how i estimated the 3€ cost. I am sure that you can get this kind of silicone everywhere since its pretty standard
impressionante! anche la tecnica è molto professionale, non credevo che il filamento della stampante 3d si sciogliesse completamente durante la cottura dello stampo
si è fatto apposta , quel filamento è fatto da un'azienda che si occupa solo di cera a perdere per stampi per gioielli , per odontotecnica e per metalmeccanica. Ora sono usciti con questo prodotto, Devo provarlo. Sinceramente non mi sono mai cimentato nella fusione dei metalli , ma è una tecnica che mi affascina parecchio , tanto più che associata alla stampa 3d ti permette di fare roba pazzesca :D Ps , ne ho approfittato per iscrivermi al tuo canale ;)
Beautiful! What did you use to patina the piece? I saw you boil the liquid in a covered tin... I haven’t seen that technique. I’m still fairly new and learning.
Hi!! Just wanted to say this came out great and I loved the breakdown of the process! Thanks for sharing! I’m looking to do this myself but I’m not sure where to find the materials to make the slurry for the casting. Any recommendations?
Threw me a bit with the in gates. Great work. Very well done. What is the fluid you steam at the end? I like the polished outside in contrast to the darkened inside.
Thank you! It's white vinegar :) I've looked for brass patina recipe online and most people seems to use ammonia for a fast patina, but I didn't had any on hans so I went for vinegar!
That makes sense. I read about sealing up copper antennas (old ham radio ops from 20's thru 50's used plumbing supplies) and they used an ammonia wash, then soap and water, then mineral spirits to sort of seal it. Turned fresh copper into that brownish green color and stopped the ammonia from continuing to tarnish it. Again, nice work.
Wow! That was amazing! I'm so inspired by this guy. Celtic blood in me veins where I just have to have a go at this at some stage. Even encourage me children to do the same....Would you be so kind and advise where did you source the necklace itself onto which this pendant is placed? I have a number of ideas involving a flypress where I make up a die and press the design on the work. Just finding it tricky sourcing a suitable necklace that is strong enough and looks the part. It has to compliment the work and the necklace you have used has just done that. Beautiful work man, I'm pumped!! Thank you!!
You're very welcome BB Project....Sorry for being a little unclear.....skip to 13.59 on your video...I meant to say is, would you have a link for necklace bit that is attached to the pendant and goes around the neck. The necklace thingy that looks like two leather type pieces with the fastening clip. Hope that's a little clearer. Thank you again. Greetings from dear old Ireland.
Okey interesting idea, but i take that didnt well as planned? At least from video i didnt see much chance. What i read about this method i think you should had used dark vinegar and dissolve some salt in 5 to 1 ratio. I think the missing key might be the salt, though i have no chemical know how on this matter and rather new on use of brass in anything. You did clean part probably good enough seeing you putting it in using wire and not your hands.. also havent though such use for soldering stand, gotta keep that in mind. Trow us a video if you find good solution on the patina.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPECTACULAR, BUT YOU HAVE TO DOMINATE MANY TECHNIQUES AND HAVE A WORKSHOP WITH LAST GENERATION TOOLS !!! WORTH! WHO, NOTHING, IS A HAM !!!
man that 3d printer seems like a handy thing to have. Great video awesome end result! I have heard a vibration table helps prevent those little air pockets and makes for a much cleaner cast. :)
Yeah! I love 3d printers. So handy in the shop :) I should really make something like that, or a vacuum chamber of some sort.. That would be useful to make micarta too! Thank you my friend
Hi! Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your experiments with this method! Would you trust this method enough so that you would use precious materials like gold? Is it possible to make jewellery with less "wasted" material in the filling vents?
Thanks! I would not :') I mean, lost wax is used to make jewellery professionally but not the way I do it. As far as I know the metal is heated with an airtight electric furnace or with oxyacetylene torch in graphite or special ceramic crucible, the flask is degassed with vacuum and is heated to almost the same temperature as the metal and finally the pour is done not just by gravity but with a centrifugal machine or again with vacuum. With these advance methods vents are not even used I think! :)
That is awesome, you made me want to try this process. May i ask what were the key settings you had to dial in your slicer to get the wax filament to print well? I heard only bad things about 3d printable wax, but you seems to have it figured out!
Thanks!! Here are my settings: Layer height 0.1 or 0.2 mm 20% infill Speed: 40 mm/s Extruder temperature: 155°C Bed temperature: 80°C Cooling fan off Retraction disabled Print in enclosure (just cardboard) And to make it stick I apply three thick coat of hair spray on the glass bed letting it dry between each pass. I also add a 20-25 outline skirt but sometimes it doesn't make a huge difference.
I know I sound like a smartass saying this, but it is true. A vibrator run all over the outside gets all of the bubbles out with a bit of swirling and rocking of the vessel.
I was looking into the machinable wax for doing a 3D printed lost wax ring but I was not able to find good printer settings... would you mind posting your printing settings?
Sure! I had succes with layer height of 0.1 and 0.2 mm 20% infill Speed: 40 mm/s Extruder temperature: 155°C Bed temperature: 80°C Cooling fan off Retraction disabled Print in enclosure (just cardboard) And to make it stick I apply three thick coat of hair spray on the glass bed letting it dry between each pass.

Hey dude, I've got a question. I've been searching the internet for actually quite some time and couldn't find an answer. I also tried casting brass after melting it in a forge. The problem is that my brass burned quickly after I pulled it out of the fire and developed a lot of dross. So my question is what kind of flux or additives you use when casting brass. I'll try kitchen salt and borax very soon.
Hi there! Most people say brass don't need flux, but I had some dross too in a previous melt in a steel crucible so I tried borax and it seems to work fine. Just be carefull because it pops a lot :)

Thanks brother! :) Can't beat lost wax for small stuff!
Another brilliant project, resulting in a beautiful gift. Your metal casting, like your other work, is really first class. Well done, and thanks for posting this video!
Thank you my friend :) :) :)
Great work keeping me from my sleep by uploading at this time.
same
Haha! Sorry Guys
AWESOME WORK. I want so bad to learn to do this. Absolutely beautiful
Wow! Fantastic but such hard work, I sincerely admire
I've never seen casting investment used the way he goes about it! I really like that technique and will have to try it out next time I do a lost wax casting!
I hope she really enjoys the fruit of your labor. It's phenomenal.

I don't know what the hell I've just watched but it was bloody fascinating & I want to see more of it! Great job & lovely pendant 👍
Wow they look great, and a great valentine gift for your girlfriend. Cheers mate.
Using the plastic from a failed print to solder the two 3d printed parts together, genius!
Insanely Good. I wish I had the skills to produce something so beautiful. I will try my best😂
Awesome works brother!! Thanks for your video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm touched . Best video ever! Lovely viking hair :)
Very nice end product! Thank's for sharing!
Amazing work, always enjoy watching your content

looks great! very impressive !!
Fantastic music, wonderful work , thank you
What did you use to make the mold? Plaster and sand?
Back when i did silver casting we used denim to polish the wax, give it a try next time
Thanks for the suggestion! I will :)
Perfect as always... Congratulations dude
Wow...that's beautiful!!!
Very nice, now a new subscriber
One out of three is good odds for a tricky casting, totally impressive!
Awesome, now I know how to cast a couple of projects. You lost one as on the last pour you double poured. What did you add by spoon, bauxite?
1/3 is that typical failure rate. I really was surprised. The whole time I was watching I thought this seems so much easier the lost foam casting with sand. I still think it may be. The one that survived looks amazing. Great video.

So good! Really love these old designs!!
great looking project, and also LOVE the music
Love It BB....OH the 100k is soon :)
Super cool... molten metal still scares me! I want to try it but also hate getting burned!
Thats reslly cool man! i would like to try this technique out myself. i am mainly focusing on wood carving, but this looks very inspiring :) Subbed
Lavoro pregevole. Complimenti
Pretty hair she has there ;) . Nice video, nice work ;)
This was fascinating! 💖💖
Reminds me a bit of the Neverending Story pendant worn by the Atreyu character.
great work brother !
Hi, great fun to watch you doing your thing as always but consider print those things in ABS, vapor smooth them, make a silicone mold of the model and cast wax in the mold. Should provide you with far better results and mistakes are not a big deal since you can reproduce the wax model quickly and cheaply. Moldable silicone isnt really expensive either
Tedris Threed Silicone is decently expensive, a hard mold would also suffice. It would save on the expensive wax filament if he was making a lot of them, and save on print times in that case. Otherwise it's just faster to print the pieces individually
SugarBooty a silicone mold for that size would cost approximately 3€...
Tedris Threed I can't find any kits under $20, and they're half pound kits. Maybe, it depends how big you make the mold. However, they do have pre-made molds for much less

Tedris Threed ahh, well, it's definitely something to pursue
...quanto trabalho pra uma lindeza dessas... muito bom.
impressionante! anche la tecnica è molto professionale, non credevo che il filamento della stampante 3d si sciogliesse completamente durante la cottura dello stampo

Fascinating! Thank you for posting.
Amazing job 👍
Beautiful!
What did you use to patina the piece? I saw you boil the liquid in a covered tin... I haven’t seen that technique. I’m still fairly new and learning.
Well done! I think it turned out great!
Hi!! Just wanted to say this came out great and I loved the breakdown of the process! Thanks for sharing!
I’m looking to do this myself but I’m not sure where to find the materials to make the slurry for the casting. Any recommendations?
Nicely done!
love these videos!
Wow,
Very impressive, thank for sharing.
You are very talented, I look forward to your videos. Have a great day
Threw me a bit with the in gates. Great work. Very well done.
What is the fluid you steam at the end? I like the polished outside in contrast to the darkened inside.

So cool! Even though you are not smelting brass much these I wonder what you found the best sources for cheap brass were /are ?
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thanks bro :)
That is really awesome. Can you please make a video where you cast silver or gold with the same technique?
Thanks! I wish one day to try :) Still miss some key equipment to try rare metals I think.
ОЧЕНЬ И ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВО!!!)))))ВЫ -MASTER))))))))))))
Wow !!! gut job

Good Job (straight from brazil)
We'll done ! Fantastic
Just one question. What were you doing at 13:00? What liquid you used and what for?
It's white vinegar. I've tried to force a patina with vapors :)
Okey interesting idea, but i take that didnt well as planned? At least from video i didnt see much chance.
What i read about this method i think you should had used dark vinegar and dissolve some salt in 5 to 1 ratio.

impressive work! What was the white powder?
my god so clean
When you were mixing the powders together, I thought "Just like a cake" until I saw you using bottled water and I burst out laughing 😂😂😂
very good mr black beard .
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPECTACULAR, BUT YOU HAVE TO DOMINATE MANY TECHNIQUES AND HAVE A WORKSHOP WITH LAST GENERATION TOOLS !!! WORTH! WHO, NOTHING, IS A HAM !!!

What was it you put in the tin can before you covered it with foil and heated it?... Love your work :)
IMPRESIONANTE!!! un proceso muy bueno, saludos
you are the men! 💪💪💪
Hi! Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your experiments with this method! Would you trust this method enough so that you would use precious materials like gold? Is it possible to make jewellery with less "wasted" material in the filling vents?
The material is never 'wasted'; you can just recover the metal and reuse it for another cast ;)
Thanks! I would not :')
I mean, lost wax is used to make jewellery professionally but not the way I do it.
As far as I know the metal is heated with an airtight electric furnace or with oxyacetylene torch in graphite or special ceramic crucible, the flask is degassed with vacuum and is heated to almost the same temperature as the metal and finally the pour is done not just by gravity but with a centrifugal machine or again with vacuum.
With these advance methods vents are not even used I think! :)
Black Beard Projects thank you for all these information! ..so then no DIY engagement rings can come out of this! :)
Nice details
Do you make the dewaxing in the same day ?
That is awesome, you made me want to try this process.
May i ask what were the key settings you had to dial in your slicer to get the wax filament to print well?
I heard only bad things about 3d printable wax, but you seems to have it figured out!
Thanks!! Here are my settings:
Layer height 0.1 or 0.2 mm
20% infill
Speed: 40 mm/s
Extruder temperature: 155°C
Bed temperature: 80°C
Cooling fan off
Retraction disabled
Print in enclosure (just cardboard)
And to make it stick I apply three thick coat of hair spray on the glass bed letting it dry between each pass. I also add a 20-25 outline skirt but sometimes it doesn't make a huge difference.
Love it !!!
Ciao! Ottimo lavoro come sempre! Cosa hai messo nella latta al minuto 12:45?
Grazie! :) Aceto bianco
I know I sound like a smartass saying this, but it is true. A vibrator run all over the outside gets all of the bubbles out with a bit of swirling and rocking of the vessel.
surreal! parabéns pelos trabalho. Brasil
Would be a cool keychain too
great work, with the cast and the video, nice to watch, subbed for more :) earned it ;)
Good gift for Ur gf :D
with those huge supports wouldnt that make you use way more gold than would be needed to if you just used thin stick supports?
Waooo. Bring your machine 3D to Puerto Rico. teach here amazing work
Grande Bro!

Awesome, that looks fantastic. Out of curiosity, how long did you have it on the bbq for and at what temp? Again, super cool work :)
Thanks!! I left it in the bbq for 5hr at min temp and 1hr at max temp just before pouring :)
Cool, thanks for the info :) Looking forward to your next vid!
pretty cool!
How cool would it be if you could speak and talk us through each step....now that would be impressive and informative
Beautiful.
Brother that's just cool.
beautiful,
what is your source for these designs?
Menudo trabajo.muy bien
what cost and what system is needed to get a non pourus final finish ? save grinding
wow nice work
Thanks!
Very cool!

Black Beard Projects thanks dude, gonna give it a try! Btw I'll also buy a 3d-printer and wax filament soon for brass casting
Holy shit, you casted that? Beautiful! Bravo. Sub'd. Also, I'd like to buy one please.
Haha! Thanks man :) And sorry but I'm not making more
U are the best 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
