Admirably done...!!
KUDOS for admitting your mistakes, too. That shows character
and will help others getting in to the process.
Thank you.
I really like the fact you took the time out to explain the process, having that clarity really makes you appreciate the little steps that are often glazed over
Great work, man! Thanks for showing it. It is crazy how much the iron age changed things. Case in point is that this dagger weighs as much as a medieval longsword!
You know what they say about large hands......
Large brass daggers
Thank you for inviting us into your process.
And thank you for showing your learning curve, you didn’t have to edit that in.
I’m a new subscriber.
Im glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! More to come!
great work!
(Tip, you can work-harden the edge after casting, then finish the edge for a clean look)
Strong work! I'm nearly done with my first bronze sword and I've learned a lot, so I def appreciate you showing your trial-n-error journey. I'm hooked on bronze and definitely picked up a few tips here for my next project. Thank you, and well done!
Man, that is elegant. Nicely done!
Thanks for sharing your whole process, you got a beautiful finished piece.
That is so cool! Great job with the dagger and the video. You now own an actual Dagger of Seth!
I'm Egyptian and I'm very proud of what you've done 💖
He meant the old Egyptians not today's people 😂
Trial and error. Is how you learn. You ROCK
Much appreciated and enjoyed. Liked your usage of the flour sifter.
can I just say how beautiful that looks this is my favorite knife it looks really good . cane I have one
A huge load has been lifted ... thank you . Satisfying. Thank you .
That is a gorgeous dagger!
Awesome effort. Great design too. I wondered as I watched about your first mold design as I thought it might break out. I had seen a stacked mold design for a small bronze cannon that had a similar result.
Now I'm motivated to do casting too. Thanks man!
You really did an amazing job.!
Nice work. Thanks for showing the learning process (mistakes). I learned more.
That came out awesome!
Now this is a guy that deserves likes and subs he actualy explaines what he is doing.
Total Fire 🔥. Thanks Dude. Excellent work.
That dagger will still take a few people out my man,good job!!! Your a motivating individual.
It's very beautiful! Congratulations. It's a really very good work.
Beautiful work. The knife looks amazing, I’m subbed👍🏼
That's dedication!! Good job!
sir congrats from Egypt !
its .... i cant express how its cool ! :)
Would love to try this. I have been thinking about it for years. But I don't have means to melt metal. One day...
look up the King of Random, he has a nice video on how to make an easy foundry
Bushcraft Mike thanks dude!
Man of the north
Man of the north, have you since found the means to melt metal?
Great music selection!
Great work! Really loved the video and choice in music 😊 would love to see a battle axe or war hammer?
Beautiful work! Keep it up!
Really enjoyed that. And appreciated the mistakes being shown. Learning is a process.
That is an awesome work dude. Respects.
Very interesting project, thanks for sharing it with us!
Hell yea! Great job man!
Your narrative of how and what was very clearly stated. Very good since so many play music or t's silent as they do the entire process. Thank you.
Robert Thompson Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Your video inspired me to make a bronze kukri knife . nice blade you made there u should be proud of it.
Nice! Casting is unbelievably hard
Looks cool, well done.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Everything is interesting in your video
So cool, nice work!
Looks great!
For being an old design its very modern looking.. Nicely done..
TheDevilOfKimon Thank you!
thats some great stuff. well done
Beautiful work
Brother I have to say. That’s some cool shit right there
Donavan Tew Thank you!
HUGE GOOD JOB FOR YOUR PATIENT
The dagger is amazing.
Great video, but to make things easier try to het your hand on an CNC it takes lots of programing but you wont be let down.
Satisfying and beautiful video keep up your passion.... With lots of love from India....
Absolutely impressive stuff :)
Man it beautiful and only will get better with age
I didn't knew that bells were 80 copper and 20 percent tin, you think the ring of the metal would be a good detraction in battle?
Instant subscribe ! i really liked your works
It looks beautiful
Well done man.....looks great👍
Beautiful job
Nice work man
nice work on that one
Awesome!
well all i can say is you sound young, and give the trolls the sad respect they require a blank. you did yourself proud and thoughts how helped you to be the inspiration to get up and do it. may you live life to the full and let the lamers give up.
Cheers for the Celsius call out
Great work! Detail: that molten bronze you show is definetly not 2000 degrees, closer to 1400...oh, or perhaps in fahrenheit...?
Thank you! Yes, Fahrenheit copper melts at 1984°.
You have awesome skills
Such creativity..
That is awesome.
beautiful
👍👍Looks AWESOME👍👍
this Awesome result bro. keep it up
Ah man I want one!
Great video! You just picked up a new subscriber.
Great job, that looks really good.
Is it possible to make a bronze like alloy using copper and brass ?
hello nice video thumb of course up my question defend from where do I get the wood stencil you made in the video itself?
do you also sell the wood stencil?
I would look forward to your answer
That would be an awesome letter opener
really cool
The Ancient Egyptians were also known for their bronze sickle swords. That would've been amazing too.
awsme man .. very well done vdeo
It's beautiful
It looks great! Concidered making them in serie and selling them?
Oh man imagine going to the trouble to cutout that ridge only to find out you went the wrong way and now you have to fill in that cutout you spent time on and then shape it into a protruding ridge.
Interesting casting method. Great job though!
Love the can do attitude never give up
Would love that rainbow colored result before polish if it came out more bright and intense.
You know at first I was like this guy is rambling blah but I really liked that he showed his failings and processes. Even the part about the type of alloy not being blade grade but more for bells. So got a like from me after all! Keep it up. Oh and would the deep colored bronze used for statues make a good blade?
I love it it's from my country wish I have it
The ancient Egyptians would hire you anytime 👌🏼
So good
You are amazing....
I'm so happy for you
Petro-sand?
Looks like Delft clay to me..
I use it for casting precious metals.
As for your short cast, there are casting weights available for all metals and alloys, for instance, gold requires 3.5 weight of finished piece for yellow metal and 3.8 for white metal. Silver needs 1.3, part of the weight is to negate shrinkage and the greater part on denser metals like gold is to ensure that the mould is completely filled, retaining sharper details.
I've not cast bronze or copper, but the principles are the same.
Also, all swords and daggers are poured in upright moulds to avoid voids and surface bubbling, including steel swords.
You need to box the mould to support it if you pour much more than a pound of material.
Happy casting 😉
michel Guevara Thanks for the tip. Yes it’s petrobond. They are very similar. I really don’t understand what you mean about weights. Is it a way of calculating the correct amount needed?
Pure class
You make good job ....
thanks for the video.
Best thing i could find
Loved it😍😘
wow this is awesome i wish i could do that one time when i grow up 😉😉😉
I like the step by step way of presenting your work, do you have a shop where you sell this kind of stuff ? bronze decorations are very important and demanded in the middle east and north Africa.
Cooling the blade in water causes it to soften. Let it sit cool for a more functional tool.
Quenching copper alloys won't affect the hardness. They will come out of the mould annealed and can only be made harder by work hardening
@@oliverwatson1567how can i harden bronze?
