This is a solid silicon bronze sculpture hand crafted from start to finish by yours truly. It was cast in my garage with diy casting tools. Im a self taught sculpture and bronze caster. This Impala has was sculpted in sculpey clay, molded with silicone rubber, cast in wax and then taken through the lost wax casting process. Many parts of the of the process are edited out. These sculptures take a long time and a lot of carful work. I am still learning and try my best to make a good piece. Let me know what you think!

"The price of experience is failure." Boy howdy! Beautiful work 👍🏻
I never knew how this was sort of art was done. Truly fascinating to watch. Watching you solve the inevitable mishaps that occur in the process of creation was unbelievably educational. I loved watching this from sculpting to casting, thank you.
amazing work man! Kudos, looks absolutely brilliant!
A man after my own heart! True talent is knowing how to learn from, and to fix your mistakes! Great stuff!
You should do a Kubu, they are like a camel as like a long distant travilers, they hold lots of water in a poutch. They are new to this world, from another planet.
It's amazing how much you've learned. Each piece comes out better and you learn new troubleshooting skills with each pour.
What I like the most is that you decide to share with us your hit and miss. By the way, impressive piece of art.
Awesome!! Looks amazing. Couldn't even tell with the leg and I love the walnut idea.
I am really interested getting started in the world of casting & This video was perfect! The No B.S. of showing what actually goes into this artform; the intricacies & the frustrations while striving for that perfection. Very Awesome Job! I definitely Subscribed.👍😉🇨🇦
Looking at your face at failures is amazing. You are so strong minded guy, Good work!
So awesome great job
Really Beautiful, fab job.
This was a very useful start on how to weld bronze sculptures. The human figures I'm making need to be cast in parts and welded together, so this is helpful start on how to do this.
Thank you for your video ,great work
Art is kind of God gifted talent which everybody doesn't have 👍👍👍 Hats off
Really cool, dude!
Lovely work - beautiful fine details in impala's head. You step the viewer well through the entire casting process.
Looks great.
Very good, man. Luckily no shrinking happened. That can be avoided by uring a big riser which can feed back bronze while cooling down.
It's beautiful 😊👍
Great video. Thanks!
Excellent
My absolute favorite of all your castings, so impressive!
Another work of art - magical essence of impala forever captured in bronze
Looking insanely Good man!! I wish I could make some bronze sculptures at home. I love drawing and sculpting but never tried metal. Looking forward to giving it a go soon.
Nicely done!
great work!
Well done!
That’s awesome what a great job you did. Enjoyed watching
very cool process, thanks for sharing the process, the good and the bad of it!
Great casting man, I like the trial and errors you included in the video.
Ich bin begeistert von Ihrer Arbeit, besonders schätze ich das Sie auch Ihre Misserfolge zeigen, denn dadurch lerne ich auch viel. Ihr großer Fan aus Germany in Stuttgart 😊
I love that you report your mistakes. Thank you for uploading man and happy new year.
It's beautiful! Well done
amazing !
So many hours of work ... I'm totally impressed!!!
Very cool man
Stoked bro! truly inspiring. Humbling. Meticulous....Holy F#$% and patience. Great work man. Keep it up! word
Man, that was some nice work on the Impala. If you hadn't showed that issue with the leg, I would have never known. Great looking Piece.
Thanks! The leg had me worried, but it turned out. Valuable lessons learned on this one that should help when I do the elk.
Just discovered your channel today.......I`m hooked!
Very nice!
Thanks Josh
Lost Wax Casting produces some amazing results. Look at the detail!
love your videos brother, you inspire me a great deal
That’s great to hear, thank you!
Beautiful statue!
Thank you!
I like it.
Looks really great! About the middle core on thicker pieces, wouldn’t it be possible to use the “vase-method”, pouring in the metal, wait for a minute, and pour out the remaining hot metal?
I’m definitely hooked!! Now I’ve got to go back and watch all the others. I’ve always wanted to pick this up as a hobby, where should I start??
You start where you’re at. You starting point may be watching TH-cam videos. In which case congratulations your journey has begun!
thx
Superbe !
Otoniel, brasil muito bonito o seu trabalho
do you have some sort of beginners guide mayby ?
i am verry iinteerested in making my own molds,especially of greek and roman people
what i dont have is alot of this pretty expesnive equipment so i was wondering if there was a way to make simply molds with simpler tools
Very nice video all-round New sub🤠😎🤩👍
Thank you!
Hello, I want to cast a bronze statue, but I don't know how to make the melt inlet and air outlet, please guide me. thank you
You are such an inspiration. I know that I just cant sculpt in wax. I try to use a sculpt software and just print out the patterns and use lost pla method with suspenda slurry fs.
I was just thinking what bronze composition do you use.
I’ve been thinking about getting a 3D printer for lost pla but I I’m kind of old fashioned.
For things like this I use everdur silicon bronze.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios thank you for the answer. Keep going with the good stuff 💪
Mate that was awesome to watch I sub you , I just melt copper make ingots etc on my channel , I would love to have a go at this so amazing bronze looks great hey
And in Belgium, with Felix Roulin
Dude I feel your pain I would’ve started over 🤩👍
I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. I can relate to when you said sometimes the price of experience is failure. I am a Bladesmith and want to include some casting in my work, pommels, guards, etc. I have one suggestion for you, get a Foredem tool, it will give you MUCH more control than a Dremel. It has a foot control to control the RPM's and has full torque even at very low RPM's, and a flex shaft and handpiece, great for working on small details. It is costly but should last you for your lifetime. As much as I see you use a Dremel, it would be a wise investment.
Oh I use that dremel all the time. I’ve been thinking about trying a foredom tool though. I should invest in a good one.
Thanks for watching!

You have much patience. Keep up the good work. I to love the impala. it looks like you conquered the leg and balance. Most Remington and Russell bronzes have another form of keeping all together. A rock or anyway to keep it strong. I have a Remington bronze called Buffalo Horse which is anchored by the horse the buffalo's back hooves and the spear. The bronze you made is only anchored by the back hove. Do you think that it my give if dropped or handled poorly. Love your art. Keep it up . Kevin
Yeah, it would probably give if dropped. General handling it seems good. But to whoever holds it, Don’t drop it!
quand il y a un noyau , c'est un peu plus compliqué , mais le bronze respire mieux et la peau a un meilleur résultat , c'est pas évident la fonderie
Absolutely beautiful, can you tell me, the wax you use
What is the proper name for it
I like to buy some, but can’t find the right product
Cheers

I use microcrystalline wax here arizonasculpture.com/j-mac-microcrystalline-wax-2-ab150/
I just started working with bronze and after my first cast, I'm a bit bummed at how dirty my casting turned out. I'm wondering if you did anything special to the melt in order for your cast to come out so clean. I sandcast instead of investment casting and I assumed it was my copper/tin mix wasn't pure enough.
Scrap metal can be tricky because you aren’t really sure what the alloy is. If it’s copper wire , or pipe though it should be pure.
I use silicon bronze for the best castings. I buy it in 15lb bars from Lancaster foundry in Pennsylvania. It’s like 6-7$ a lb.
Sometimes you just need to use clean metal to start. I’ve had some metal that just doesn’t cast well and I had to start over with better metal.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios I guess it was my fault as I used copper wire bought in spools from the hardware store. I guess it must've been my pattern or the metal wasn't hot enough.
I love that you upload your process with bronze work! That impala is incredibly dynamic with the stretch of it's body....running from a cheetah or lion perhaps...? What is the name of your Etsy shop, by the way? (If it's somewhere else on your page I apologize!)
Thank you for the kind words! My Etsy store is: www.etsy.com/shop/LundgrenBronze
Great work!! Where do you source your bronze? Do you make it yourself or purchase it?
I normally buy it from Lancaster foundry in PA. I just bought some yesterday for 5.70 a lb.
Nice, how do u make moulding sand?
It’s a pain to make the right way unless you have a mulling machine. I would recommend buying petrobond.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios what to mix with sand?
Sorry I missed the premier yesterday mate Internet was down all day! What do I think of the casting? I love it👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you!
👍👍
Very nice. Epic progress. What is total cost of such casting? Wax, plaster, metal etc.?
Hard to say the total cost. The metal itself is probably $15 worth. The investment powder probably $10 worth.
But the welder was over $1,000 the kiln $300
The work space. Sculpting it took over a week molding it several days and several days cleaning up the casting the was edited out. When you factor in all that, it’s hard to say the cost of making it is. It would take an awful lot of these to break even and a lot more to turn a profit.
Do you sell them. Fun video
This one is for sale on my Etsy store. I plan on selling more of my work in the future. www.etsy.com/shop/LundgrenBronze
@@lundgrenbronzestudios I'll check it out!
Beautiful but surprisingly difficult to make it seems.
I could do that but I don't feel like it
Good to see the problems you encountered. Creating a sculpture or any other 3D object is never a straightforward process.
thats a complicated piece for lost wax
There has to be a easier way. Looks too intricate.
Well if you find one be sure to let me know!
Get out the basement dude!!
Is this impossible without a kiln?
You need a kiln of some kind. Could be an electric kiln or a wood burning kiln or gas fired kiln. But yes you need a kiln.
