- In this video, I am making some custom cast aluminum drawer pulls I designed for an up coming project. I will use Renshape 460 for the pattern and Petrobond for the sand cast. Stay tuned at the end for a description of my process for the Petrobond after the cast!

That is without a doubt the most perfect casting I've seen on TH-cam. Excellent craftsmanship. Great job.
Actually plaster castings have an even better surface finish. They're a bit more uncomfortable to work with though.....
Very hard to make stuff with molds that you have to take out. I would only use plaster if I used wax and melted it out, otherwise trying to split the plaster in two halfs would be awful
+KlixTrio It depends on the shape of the item, but you're right. I prefer it over sand mostly because of the MUCH better surface finish and the fact that I have a method for making easy copies of the original that's cheaper than using wax (which is quite expensive in fact).
+CoolKoon Could you share your method with us then ? It could be really helpful !
Search up green sand casting. It's not the best sand method, but its cheap and works pretty damn well.
Awesome watching you work! Thanks for posting.
Hey Zack, good to see you here ! 😄
Bloody hell, that's the best home-brew casting that I've seen on youtube
This is one of the more well produced casting videos I've seen. Thanks Brian!
Какой вы используете песок?
Unbelievably cool. Wow. And the casting quality was just off the charts. Well done!
Your furnace oozes with profound efficiency and a hint of "Man-Cave." I love the design of your cast, and as I begin the journey of a Blacksmith, I will be using one of your models in my first set.
All of your videos are enthralling and informative; Thank you.
I worked with Renshape at my old job. Once you use it, its hard to go back. Watched this for the casting. Very inspirational.
Your attention to detail and level of skill is phenomenal. Thank you Brian for sharing it with us.
The cast quality is impressive. Bravo!
+Carlos Pitcher Thanks! Like I said, it was better than I expected!
awesome!! unbelievable quality!! ^^
+Nicolas Danelon Thanks!
I've just binge watched so many of your casting videos! I love your attention to detail and quality of your work. Thanks
Cracking surface finish as-cast! Total work of art once you're done with the sanding.
Awesome as usual.
+Brooks Nelson Thanks!
Did you happen to read my email in regards to the MDF machine?
I love how you take projects from start to finish... most of the time! Still waiting to see how that domino box and domino's turn out! ;)
Edit: Oh and I loved the extra info at the end. That question about the sand being reusable was burning a hole in my head every time I watched your video's. I can't imagine this particular sand is inexpensive by comparison. On the matter of mixing have you seen MyFordBoy's sand reconditioning process?
Thank you.
This whole process looks rewarding through out.
The more I watch the happier I become for the results you are getting.
You have got a talent for this thats for sure.
Such a beautiful cast, didn't know it was possible to make them that smooth directly from casting. Great job!
what crucible holder do you use
Skookum as frig!
+makethingz Thanks bro! Keep your stick on the ice :)
I'm blown away by the quality of all the projects you do. I have always prided myself on being detail oriented but watching you makes me feel like I definitely need to step up my game. Even your videos are edited so well that I don't find the need to scrub through. Thank you for the inspiration!
Love the level of design and modeling that goes into all your projects.
honestly, i would like to know reason of some dislikes here !
you are the reason
Dis-i-like
He makes the rest of us look like lazy bums who'd rather watch youtube than get off our fat arses and actually do something productive?
@@johnalexander2349 that's all you man. I watch these video to learn and they're very interesting.
Ummm no one has pointed out that he has a CNC machine. So why waste time making a mold, casting and finishing. When he could easily have just cast a block on Ali and set the CNC to cut it. Would he perfect in every way then. Also all waste can be melted into a new block of Ali for next project. Seems like a massive waste of time. Looks nice though, but CNC products are better
+Nik A False. Actually it has been mentioned a few times! CNC part would actually require more finishing after a much longer machine time because it is easier to sand Renshape than Aluminum. If it took 2 hours to machine the pattern, it might take 10 hours to machine the aluminum. CNC chips can be melted down, but the alloy you would use for machining isn't good for casting. I made 5 sets of these so far so there is a huge advantage for multiples. 2 hours to machine and finish pattern and one hour to ram up and cast (total of 7 hours for 5 copies) vs 10 hours per CNC part (total of 50 hours of machine time for 5 copies). CNC result would likely be less smooth unless step over was set really small, drastically increasing machine time.. I suppose it would require less physical labor, but CNC isn't always better!
Right on the money. When producing a large number of parts you would save more time and money when casting versus machining. If you want to factor in the cost of machining versus casting in a manufacturing environment you save way more money when casting. Not to mention the cost of bits for cutting aluminum which would need to be replaced as they dull. Also you waste a lot less aluminum when casting since your sprus and risers etc can be remelted down for the next batch run, whereas aluminum chips off the cnc need to be properly recycled by a plant and wouldn't be able to be reused especially by a DIY home hobbyist. Trust me I have tried melting down chips from a cnc, it all just turns to slag.
If this was true, everything at harbor freight would be CNC machined, and not cast. Derp.
In a prior career I ran a cnc shop and contracted programming to several.
If that part were machined from bar stock you could not fixture it with 4 wood screws. You cant just "drop a cast ingot" on the table of anything and expect it to stay there.
If you had any appreciable metal removal rate the gantry style router used here would not be rigid enough to make any money.
To not post finish it your step over would be so small you would never make money.
Casting this part is the right choice. If you were talking thousands of pieces than sand would not the the most economical.
Even if you were to machine it after casting getting it near net would be the best production cost. Though a machined after cast 3d shape would likely require additional steps to ensure porosity cannot occur.
this is probably one of the best Aluminum casting videos I have seen. well done.
You are so fortunate to have that kind of skill--just love the foundry part of it.
Brian, you do amazing work, especially your attention to detail. LOVE watching your videos. The modern organic shapes you come up with is my style! Please keep them coming.
+Jeffrey I Will do!
I watched this a while back. Had to watch it again. Your expertise is inspiring, I have a few projects that I want to try. Thanks !
Excellent craftsmanship! Well done!
I have to say, you do an amazing job in your videos. I love how detailed they are even the part at the end where you show what to do with the sand. I would love to see more videos!
Love the design!
It looks like that was a TON of work to get those pulls made... TOTALLY worth it though. They look amazing. Thanks for bringing us along for the journey.
+Greg's Garage Thanks for the comment! Not that hard at all... The biggest PITA is ramming up the sand. I have made 5 sets of them now!
Wow, everything about this is absolutely beautiful!
I can say that you are on par with the few Masters that I have had the pleasure of working near. A rarefied air is forming around your work. I do not particularly care for that particular combination of brushed aluminum, with light hardwood, normally. It works a bit for me here. There is no accounting for taste, and mine does bot run that way; but you are drawing me in... such is your refinement of form, fit, function, and aesthetic. Having said all that, cast those in a brass, bronze, copper, or a darker pewter; and I am sold as a neo-classic all day.
Bravo.
Yeah, some people are brass and oak and then there are those with taste. Seriously, brushed copper may look pretty cool with a birch ply
you sir are one hell of a craftsman.. its good to see those skills are still alive and well..
great video production quality... my fav transition is when you're testing the drawers and sliding them, and the finished cabinet appears ! I really like your spru method with the funnel and thin sink plumbing riser what a perfect funnel shape result. The solid craftsmanship of the beer ked forge shows your years of honing your skills. hat tipped
You are a true credit to your work mate. amazing as always! I'm halfway through building a keg foundry much like yours and have been using your videos for pre-research for being able to extend what I'm able to build for my prop business.
Stunning. Beautiful design
That Renshape makes beautiful uniform chips, great for machining.
I heart birch plywood.
I like how well you have made the whole casting process. Pleasant to watch.
+Ape's metalshop Thanks! Before I was doing a separate video for the pattern when I cast something. Very few people watch the first parts although that is where all the work is!
I think that is the best looking raw cast I've seen on TH-cam.
+Kelly Hawkins One of the better ones I have seen personally... You didn't see the fist pumps and cartwheels after I turned off the camera! The other four sets turned out very well too!
Always wise to think about the future when making molds, models, jigs, etc. You never know when they can prove useful, again.
The casting was so smooth! Amazing! 😲
It's really a piece of art!
I hope next year when I decorate my house, can do the same work like yours.
Wow! Those came out great. Process was really fun to watch.
Fabulous craftsmanship and attention to detail!
Wow!! Really nice job Brian! Thanks for sharing
This is the sort of thing my other half would look at and say hey why can't you do that - gulp!
Those handles and that cabinet design are sick.
Pretty slick and one of a kind. Nice!
beautiful craftsmanship as always Brian and plz keep the videos coming
Love the finish to the metal. Simple and Elegant.
those drawer handles looked beautiful!
Absolutely stunning. What a great demonstration of different skills brilliantly executed.
i remember watching you build that cnc years ago, good to see its still working away, love the casting.
Thanks! Been a crazy journey!
Excelent work! Those drawer pulls are beautiful
Video well done. I'll be using it for my materials and processing class to illustrate the sand casting technique. Your drawer pulls are very nice as well!
OH my god this looks fantastic!!!
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous pulls! Nice job!
I am impressed! Well done
Great explanation on the process and amazing results. Five years later and this is still the best quality casting I've seen on youtube. I used green sand/petrobond like this to make a sterling silver pendant for my wife back around 2009-ish. TH-cam was not yet the incredible resource it is today. I modeled the piece by hand in wax and then followed this same process with amazing results. The kicker is, it was a key with a heart shaped top, and the key is a fully functional duplicate for a master brand lock she uses for a memory box, except entirely sterling silver now.
Awesome story, thank you for sharing this!
Gorgeous. Nice work.
Beautiful work!
Awesome design, turned out really nice. You answered question I had at the end the end of the video. Thanks for the extra info.
Excellent video and showcase of the process!
+Get Hands Dirty Thanks!
Great video man and great job on the pulls! I loved most how you added all those cool sound effects and kept it really moving.
The Time lapse part of the video along with the audio is sooo Satisfying to watch..!
Beautiful job Brian and very well presented. Thanks.
That turned out so awesome...great design!!!
Great design and fantastic finished parts. Thanks for the video.

Your channel is always one that I look forward to new content from. Awesome video.
Good job. Unbelievable quality!
VERY nice cast! Very well done.
Excellent video. I loved the design of the handle.
Beautiful work Brian
The nicest furniture handle I ve ever seen...
Such display of craftmanship and talent make us other makers feel humble.
Really impressed by all of your videos I 've watched so far... Congrats!
Great Job! Those look amazing. Also I really like how you use a funnel to set up your sprue, really clean and easy way of doing it.
What a great vid, one of the cleanest molds I've seen, and the results are suitably impressive.
+Merv Thanks!
Very neat and tidy work.Thanks for sharing.
The finish work is most excellent!
Your videos are very enjoyable to watch. I'm sure many people are learning a lot from them. Please keep posting.
This next level craftsmanship! Amazing
Time to build a ball mill to pulverize the burned Petrobond.
Beautiful design, routing, foundry work, finish work, drawer work, elegant par deluxe.
