Only zinc and lead have lower melting points than aluminum aside from liquid metals like mercury. If you wanted to do casting of metals at home this is likely to be your choice to begin with. it melts around 1200 F or 600 C Would be pretty tragic if an oven could melt the stuff
One thing you might find helpful is aluminium foil tape. It's used for sticking insulation together, and is basically a roll of self-adhesive aluminium foil. That would solve your problem of edges, and can smooth out areas too.
@@stevenstocker9873 Yes, that. It's magical when using aluminum foil to bulk out armatures! Solved all my frustrations with the foil wads falling apart lol
No, no i am not going to give examples... I also have nothing too add I the case of conversation... I always slip my jokes into conversation, where the jokes are relevant...
You can tell that Jazza was having fun. Keep the art and creativity coming Jazza! And dang that robot is cool. Could definitely tell it was hard to get contrast between the textures. The foil jokes are honestly funny tho, XD
I love Iron Giant, I cried so hard several times at that movie and I never understood why it was a box office failure. It was BRILLIANT! Your recreation was delightful and I applaud you for even trying it. I can only imagine how good it could be if you'd let yourself put clay on, but I think it would have lost some of it's charm. :)
One of my favorite things about Jazza is that I truly have no idea what video he will come out with next! I love how he has such a wide variety of traditional illustrations, digital illustrations, animations, sculptures with a variety of materials (clay, felt, foil, etc), and more!
I'd love to see Jazza do the thing where you compact a roll of foil into a sphere with a hammer, and keep rubbing and hammering it until it's a beautiful polished ORB
Jazza! I have been watching you for YEARS. I have ideas for you! -rice art (drawing on a grain of rice) -making a lamp! -going on a hike and making art with the things you find -the nail and thread art thing -3D art with paint on a canvas -jean art -photo collage art (go out and take pictures, then make it into an art piece!) -follow art directions in another language -make a mobile? also ideas that are not nessecarily art but would be fun for you and your team :) -the biggest dopest blanket fort! -get drunk and make a collective art piece -make an art piece without talking -try to make a song! -throw and host the craziest party on a limited budget LOVE YOU JAZZA
I made a spaceship for a stop motion school project out of cardboard and tin foil. Impressed my teacher so much it's now permanently on her "wall of fame." That was my one and only art achievement.
0:09 I'll get the door for your, sir. Feel free to "roll" by again sometime. Okay, I'll see myself out also. On a slightly more serious note, I absolutely adore your creativity and passion. As much as I enjoy art in my everyday life, it's very up and down. It's inspiring to see someone continually be expressive and creative and I always find myself wondering what you will come up with next!
Iron Giant is the bestttt I can't believe people haven't watched it!? This sculpture is awesome! I showed my other half and now he wants me to make one. Iron Giant was one of his favourite movies growing up
Jazza along with many others I think you are fantastic. I eagerly wait for each new up load. on top of everything else you are very easy on the eyes and its a joy to watch your escapades.
Ahh it looks brill. 😎 Every credit for persevering! I learned a couple of things through trial and error whilst working with tin foil to make birds that i then decoupaged. Trick 1: Use really cheap tin foil... it is thinner making it more malleable meaning less hard lumps and bumps to smooth out. Tip 2: Use the cardboard tube inside of the foil as a battering and shaping device, it's quite a thick tube and works surprisingly well to compact and compress and smooth the shape. 😊👍
We have the Iron Giant on VHS. My kids have both watched it probably more times than I ever did as a kid. My 6 year old son says you did a great job with this. "You can fly? You can fly!" "You are who YOU choose to be." And of course my favorite clip is when Mansley gets his face shut in the bathroom door because he's a weirdo.
I love the iron giant so much. Jazza is out here trying all kinds of things lately, and it's awesome and always inspirational. Just try new stuff, just do it! Great work!
Most of the people in the studio haven't seen it!?!?!?!?! Well then, sounds like it is time for a team movie night! ;) Very cool, thank you for another great video!
I love making cavas painting with alleminium foil. You put a drawing with hot glue on a canvas then i put foil on it 3 or 4 layers with pva glue and top layers with spray glue because that dries faster. When you do this then scratch on it in paterns or random , after 3 days it was dry and then it looks like sheet metal that you bang it in with a hamer
I think one technique that might work to create detail would be compression. Make a stamp and use pressure to stamp it into the surface of the crumpled foil. You might need to use a strap to go around the structure and press into it from all sides.
Jazza, Jazza, Jazza, I love this video! "Whyyy?" you might ask, well, I'll tell you, I fuckin LOVE Iron Giant, I haven't seen the vid yet, but I'm already in love! Edit: Dude, I'm pretty damn happy with that! I almost think the rough nature of the difficult to work with aluminium adds quite a bit of charm to the lovable cute giant. Excellent job Jazza, keep pumpin out bangers!
I love these types of art with a few simple things that we all have at home that we could actually emulate if we pleased, so many creators do these huge sculptures with loads of expensive supplies that we just couldn’t afford and instead of feeling inspired you actually feel empty that you wished you could do something on a smaller scale but don’t have the right stuff. This is fun, entertaining and possible I love it 😍
There is this Aluminium-Folie Tape. I use it to make my books look like they have metal covers. Taped over gears coins and so on. With a pen it can be "engraved" to give it some texture. There are also people who engrave or impression aluminum Foil (and fill the back of it with plaster). There are some really impressive aluminum arts out there . This time I think Jazza didn't even came close to find out what foil can do.
As an alternative to this you could find an engineer to help you machine some metal parts rather than spending a fortune on aluminum foil. Colinfurze would be perfect for the job.
I love the Iron Giant. I appreciate the movie more as an adult than I did as a kid. Love the sculpture!!!! You should do something Treasure Planet related as a sculpture.
yes jazza finally I love this type of sculpture I make little sculpture with tin foil only then cover them with surgical tape and cover it with paint and it with some extra tweak works surprisingly well
Jazza, I feel like you've really fallen into a rhythm of creating content that YOU enjoy, and that makes it that much more entertaining for us. I remember when you were struggling to find your "niche" or who you wanted to be on-camera, and your content has just gotten better with time. Your personality shines through in every video and it is such a joy to watch you create! :D
I love the final result! Tin foil is a PAIN to work with and I think this came out pretty amazing. I love the Iron Giant, too. Definitely an underrated film with real heart.
Jazza! If you look up, you can make foil smooth! People on TH-cam have made foil balls in smooth round foil balls. I think it would help in this project.
Hey Jazza, I have a video idea for you: making Alpha knotted wall hangings. There are a few youtubers who make (chevron) bracelets and wall hangings. Its basically painting with wool/string and knots. It could be a challenge and a bit different than other vids you make. Also: you should have a movie day with your studio (call it team building) and watch the Iron Giant. It was one of my favourite movies when I was a child. Whatever you do, I love your vids (like this one). Stay awesome, Jazza! ♥️
You can actually get a nice smooth foil after scrunching it by rubbing it with the back of a spoon with medium hard pressure. You can shine it up and smooth it out beautifully. My kids do this when they use it to make space suits and things.
Jazza, you have inspired me to start drawing again and start doing character designs. Lately I've been drawing along with some of your older tutorial videos. They are so helpful. I love the direction you have taken with your channel and that you have remained authentic along the way and so supportive of the art community as a whole.
Iron Giant is just so... *chef's kisses*. Definitely underrated movie, I hope after seeing this video at least some viewers who hadn't seen it went and watched it.
how the heck has most of the people at your studio not watched The Iron Giant?! Thats a war crime right there and I think we need a video of you forcing them to watch it.
Don’t know why but watching this video made me cry (in a happy way). When I was younger I loved making crafts but we didn’t have a lot so one day I used tin foil to make this little whale family. I showed my mother and she just yelled at me for “wasting all the foil”. Wish so badly I could show my younger self this video back then. Thank you so much Jazza for this video.
There was a period of a couple years in my adolescence where I was fascinated with what I could make with aluminum foil and would make all kinds of different birds, this was an absolute treat
I love the defiant little hairs on the back of his head.... they are like children when you are in the middle of a meeting on Skype.... just popping into the back ground every now and then..... And to be clear, i am not making fun of his hair or the fact it isn't perfect, i am just Anthropomorphizing strings of coloured keratin into deviants because it brings me joy.......
Jazza: Tries to melt tinfoil
Tinfoil: Is used for baking all over the world specifically because it doesn’t melt
Aluminium melts quite easily compared to iron. Just throw it in a hot campfire and it'll melt
It did though
Only zinc and lead have lower melting points than aluminum aside from liquid metals like mercury. If you wanted to do casting of metals at home this is likely to be your choice to begin with. it melts around 1200 F or 600 C Would be pretty tragic if an oven could melt the stuff
It does melt easily but in fire not like heat
@@thewatershopkeeper what does that mean? Fire produces heat which in turn melts the aluminum.
The Iron Giant is still a fav of mine. What a fantastic film. Brad Bird did a good job along with his team of creative animators and writers.
Facts
One of Vin Diesel's best rolls.
*grabs torch* “I swear this will be useful later!” Jazza we all know you wanted an excuse to play with fire
Jazza was probably a fire bender in his past life 😂
🔥👁👄👁🔥
*I swear this might be relevant
🤣🤣🤣
Can we get this to 420 likes? I'm the 414th!
This weird content that’s coming out is unbelievable!!! I love it all!!
I’ve gotten back into the channel from a few years ago :)
Its not weird its ART
@Don't read profile photo you’re gonna rickroll me
🔥👁👄👁🔥
@Don't read profile photo wut

WHAAAAAAT?
The stuff Adam savage uses on his prop swords ?
@@stevenstocker9873 Yes, that. It's magical when using aluminum foil to bulk out armatures! Solved all my frustrations with the foil wads falling apart lol
@@stevenstocker9873 Just looked him up, and yes!
Or sticky plastic wrap
I've been LOVING the larger, one-off videos with a less conventional art product! They always turn out so much better than I could have expected!
Every restaurant within a 3 mile radius: Where is all the foil!?
Jazza: It's a *medium* for my expression.
😂😂😂😂
nice pfp lol
Starting with the foiled joke is exactly the humor I wanted today 🤣
Aren’t you glad he got it out of the way? Poor Gareth, the pun police’s work is never done.
It warranted a sharp exhale through the nose
..And how he started the video by saying "I have a plan" 🤣
It's the humor that I wish I could confine myself too... but, unfortunately, I can't restrict myself and my most common type of humor is offensive...
No, no i am not going to give examples... I also have nothing too add I the case of conversation... I always slip my jokes into conversation, where the jokes are relevant...
Can we all agree that he is just the most creative and amazing artist? His creations just wow me.
Saaaame he’s honestly so creative and talented
fully agree
Yea! Even whenever he tries something new he’s already really good at it :D very inspiring
Bot
I mean... He's just not the best artist it would be an insult to all the others. However I agree to call him the best stuff maker
Love that jazza is still able to learn from zhc despite his feelings towards his youtube actions
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONED IT
i was thinking the same thing
I was legitimately surprised to see that clip. But good on him.
I love the iron giant! I remember watching it as a child. It’s soo underrated. Very impressive for tinfoil sculptures.
You can tell that Jazza was having fun. Keep the art and creativity coming Jazza!
And dang that robot is cool. Could definitely tell it was hard to get contrast between the textures.
The foil jokes are honestly funny tho, XD
Never get old. Cuz of the alumninium oxide layer.
He should look at "Japanese Tinfoil Ball" - because that's how you make tinfoil look smooth.
I said that too
Now I have to look that up...😒🤣
Adam Savage did a smooth ball by hammering obsessively for days, that’s about it.
Fabulous! Everyone NEEDS to see the Iron Giant! One of the best animated movies ever!!
I love Iron Giant, I cried so hard several times at that movie and I never understood why it was a box office failure. It was BRILLIANT! Your recreation was delightful and I applaud you for even trying it. I can only imagine how good it could be if you'd let yourself put clay on, but I think it would have lost some of it's charm. :)
I know I wish someone did a cross over of walle baymax next gen Ron astroboy and atia battle angel and chapie and irobot and maybe transformers 😅
Basically a bots meet up
One of my favorite things about Jazza is that I truly have no idea what video he will come out with next! I love how he has such a wide variety of traditional illustrations, digital illustrations, animations, sculptures with a variety of materials (clay, felt, foil, etc), and more!
could we just appreciate how much time Jazza spends his time in these videos??
I'd love to see Jazza do the thing where you compact a roll of foil into a sphere with a hammer, and keep rubbing and hammering it until it's a beautiful polished ORB
Treasure planet, iron giant, the list goes on. i’m so glad that jazza shares my passion for these amazing classics i grew up with.
Jazza! I have been watching you for YEARS. I have ideas for you!
-rice art (drawing on a grain of rice)
-making a lamp!
-going on a hike and making art with the things you find
-the nail and thread art thing
-3D art with paint on a canvas
-jean art
-photo collage art (go out and take pictures, then make it into an art piece!)
-follow art directions in another language
-make a mobile?
also ideas that are not nessecarily art but would be fun for you and your team :)
-the biggest dopest blanket fort!
-get drunk and make a collective art piece
-make an art piece without talking
-try to make a song!
-throw and host the craziest party on a limited budget
LOVE YOU JAZZA
This is so validating. I LOVED making art with tin foil as a kid. I regularly emptied the whole house of foil to my dads dismay.
Hi! I did this in middle school! We used sandpaper to smooth out the surface for my detail work!
And just as you think Jazza’s done it all, he comes out with another video like this and it just hits you like a brick. I love it.
Damn Jazza probably the only channel to make consumerism and waste seem so wholesome and fun 😃
I love how you have ‘a collection of ridiculous giant statues’ that you can add to 😂
I made a spaceship for a stop motion school project out of cardboard and tin foil. Impressed my teacher so much it's now permanently on her "wall of fame." That was my one and only art achievement.
0:09 I'll get the door for your, sir. Feel free to "roll" by again sometime. Okay, I'll see myself out also.

This sculpture is awesome! I showed my other half and now he wants me to make one. Iron Giant was one of his favourite movies growing up
Love all of your videos! I would love to see you sculpt your old character designs 😊
I love Iron Giant. Grew up watching it and still watch it with my kiddos. Awesome job
Definitely agree with the statement about the Iron Giant movie being a really great underrated animated film.
Jazza along with many others I think you are fantastic. I eagerly wait for each new up load. on top of everything else you are very easy on the eyes and its a joy to watch your escapades.
I swear no matter what he makes or how he makes it his projects always end looking so amazing it’s crazy!
How theeeeee !!!!????? Your ideas are more and more impresive.
Also love how you presented him at the end
Ahh it looks brill. 😎 Every credit for persevering! I learned a couple of things through trial and error whilst working with tin foil to make birds that i then decoupaged.

The Iron Giant is such an underappreciated gem! I'm so glad you're showing him the love he deserves!
Most of the people in the studio haven't seen it!?!?!?!?! Well then, sounds like it is time for a team movie night! ;) Very cool, thank you for another great video!
I am in love with your chaos energy I wish I had the motivation 😂
Jazza kept saying it would be bad and then at the end it looked amazing!
I have always loved the iron giant. This made me so happy. Thank you Jazza.
This is Greatness! And the Iron Giant is one of my all time favorite movies!
The iron giant will always be a classic in my eyes. Watched it til the vhs tape broke as a child. Good job Jazza
“I will not be defeated by any medium”
What about candy Jazza?
I never forget about the candy video.
Using a ball-peen hammer in a similar method to making the once popular polished aluminum foil spheres might also work for making sculptures.
I love making cavas painting with alleminium foil. You put a drawing with hot glue on a canvas then i put foil on it 3 or 4 layers with pva glue and top layers with spray glue because that dries faster. When you do this then scratch on it in paterns or random , after 3 days it was dry and then it looks like sheet metal that you bang it in with a hamer

“The iron giant you have at home” is pretty spot on, but I love it
Jazza, Jazza, Jazza, I love this video! "Whyyy?" you might ask, well, I'll tell you, I fuckin LOVE Iron Giant, I haven't seen the vid yet, but I'm already in love!
Edit: Dude, I'm pretty damn happy with that! I almost think the rough nature of the difficult to work with aluminium adds quite a bit of charm to the lovable cute giant. Excellent job Jazza, keep pumpin out bangers!

This is fun, entertaining and possible I love it 😍
Not the iron giant we needed but the iron giant we deserved !
Great art as always, your crazy is showing in the last few vidéos, I love it ^^
The, “Iron Giant,” was one of my favorite movies as a kid. My kids love it now! That movie pulls at your heart strings ♥️😩
Ooh thats wierd the iron giant is my current clay project, its interesting to see your process
There is this Aluminium-Folie Tape. I use it to make my books look like they have metal covers. Taped over gears coins and so on. With a pen it can be "engraved" to give it some texture. There are also people who engrave or impression aluminum Foil (and fill the back of it with plaster). There are some really impressive aluminum arts out there . This time I think Jazza didn't even came close to find out what foil can do.
Guy's I think we need to send someone to check on Jazza. I think he's going insane with all these weird art ideas.
But... it's the good sort of insane. :)
I think he has just a lot of fun trying new things. He does what he loves, look at his face, he's so happy 😄
And behold, you've succeeded. Thanks for showing the possibilities that come from not giving up. 😁👋🧡
Props to his consistency, and the amazing art
You are so talented. I love watching you create your magic. Thank you for sharing your skills!
I can't imagine how hard that was to do! But it looks so good!
The "this is a stapler" on the tape dispenser was the laugh of the video 😂😂😂
I’m no artist but i LOVE these type of art
The B-roll at the end of every video might be a little over dramatic and silly but I love it!
As an alternative to this you could find an engineer to help you machine some metal parts rather than spending a fortune on aluminum foil. Colinfurze would be perfect for the job.
But then it wouldn't be all his own work.
Jazza isn't Damien Hurst.
@@HappyCynic He's done collabs before. Some of his best work has been a joint effort.
Iron Giant is probably my favorite movie of all time, so I'm all for this.
Jazza: no this plan has already been “foiled”
Me: no no no, don’t u ever do that again no
Jazza: I’ll go
Me: YES
I love it.. Oh gosh. Superman.. I love how Jazza never loses his psych and motivation to create anything out of anything.
Iron Giant is one of the best movies ever. Still good to watch as an adult. Love the reference and the final build. 👌 well done jazz 👏
Love watching you make the Iron Giant with foil! It came out awesome! We have that movie also. Great job! 🥰☺️😁❤️😃
I love the Iron Giant. I appreciate the movie more as an adult than I did as a kid. Love the sculpture!!!! You should do something Treasure Planet related as a sculpture.
Foil is like the greatest material for textured scapes and structures, in my opinion
yes jazza finally I love this type of sculpture I make little sculpture with tin foil only then cover them with surgical tape and cover it with paint and it with some extra tweak works surprisingly well
Jazza, I feel like you've really fallen into a rhythm of creating content that YOU enjoy, and that makes it that much more entertaining for us. I remember when you were struggling to find your "niche" or who you wanted to be on-camera, and your content has just gotten better with time. Your personality shines through in every video and it is such a joy to watch you create! :D
It's interesting watching two chaotic artists (Jazza and Bobby Duke) take completely different approaches to the same medium!
I have found if you staple the lumps of foil together it creates more solid shapes but it also makes a dent, so.
I didn't expect a foil robot to be cute, but aww, he's cute =)
I second the recommendation to watch the movie. Get a hanky ready, though.
I love the final result! Tin foil is a PAIN to work with and I think this came out pretty amazing. I love the Iron Giant, too. Definitely an underrated film with real heart.
Jazza! If you look up, you can make foil smooth! People on TH-cam have made foil balls in smooth round foil balls. I think it would help in this project.
I love the iron giant-it is such an underrated film
Hey Jazza, I have a video idea for you: making Alpha knotted wall hangings. There are a few youtubers who make (chevron) bracelets and wall hangings. Its basically painting with wool/string and knots. It could be a challenge and a bit different than other vids you make.
Also: you should have a movie day with your studio (call it team building) and watch the Iron Giant. It was one of my favourite movies when I was a child.
Whatever you do, I love your vids (like this one). Stay awesome, Jazza! ♥️
‘It’s not the best thing I’ve made, but I’ve learned things from it’ would be good jazza merch JUST based on how often he says it in many videos 😆
You can actually get a nice smooth foil after scrunching it by rubbing it with the back of a spoon with medium hard pressure. You can shine it up and smooth it out beautifully. My kids do this when they use it to make space suits and things.
"maybe it'll look better two-dimensional" that's a cool thing to say before smashing something with hammer, I need to remember this one XD
Jazza, you have inspired me to start drawing again and start doing character designs. Lately I've been drawing along with some of your older tutorial videos. They are so helpful. I love the direction you have taken with your channel and that you have remained authentic along the way and so supportive of the art community as a whole.
Iron Giant is just so... *chef's kisses*. Definitely underrated movie, I hope after seeing this video at least some viewers who hadn't seen it went and watched it.
how the heck has most of the people at your studio not watched The Iron Giant?! Thats a war crime right there and I think we need a video of you forcing them to watch it.
You post so much in just a few days and they are brilliant videos your amazing 🤩
just finished watching the Reboot.exe redo episode you just streamed, and then you released this! Well done!
Iron Giant is SUCH an amazing movie! & this is a great sculpture
Don’t know why but watching this video made me cry (in a happy way). When I was younger I loved making crafts but we didn’t have a lot so one day I used tin foil to make this little whale family. I showed my mother and she just yelled at me for “wasting all the foil”. Wish so badly I could show my younger self this video back then. Thank you so much Jazza for this video.
im loving every ounce of these recent videos!
There was a period of a couple years in my adolescence where I was fascinated with what I could make with aluminum foil and would make all kinds of different birds, this was an absolute treat
Perhaps... can we 3d scan and print a 2d, paper and pen character? How many perspectives would we need to draw to render any detail? Always a joy.
Very well done jazza👏. I wouldn't have got very far with a challenge like this. Huge like 👍⭐
I love the defiant little hairs on the back of his head.... they are like children when you are in the middle of a meeting on Skype.... just popping into the back ground every now and then.....
And to be clear, i am not making fun of his hair or the fact it isn't perfect, i am just Anthropomorphizing strings of coloured keratin into deviants because it brings me joy.......
The greatest crossover I never knew I wanted
YESTERDAY I LITERALLY THOUGHT “HEY, I WONDER IF JAZZA WILL EVER DO SOMETHING WITH ALUMINUM FOIL” AND GUESS WHAT (HOLY COW)
Thank you for having Murray in your video again. I always get so excited when I see him.
Honestly saved me. I ran out of things to watch but I always get so excited when Jazza uploads so this video was like a god-send
being a huge iron giant fan i love this i agree that the iron giant is pretty damn underated
