This bronze Bison really turned out well. Not perfect but well. I will make some more and hopefully get some up for sale soon. Casting bronze is not an easy craft. There is a lot to it. Lost wax casting is one of the best ways to get a detailed bronze. Some day I’ll get a 3D printer but for now I do things the old fashion way.

When I learned to cast, we would brush the wax mold in soapy water before pouring the plaster to help eliminate air bubbles. We also weren’t making anything quite as large and did not have access to a vacuum chamber.
Learned some more about bronze 👍 last couple of days since finding this excellent channel I notice that you try to repair with the tig welder…..might I suggest a smiths little torch, I just got myself hooked up with one and an oxycon machine, it is soooo fine for very small soldering I’m sure it would be good for bronze delicate fixes, esp with copper solder. My suggestion for a make would be a ‘wolverine’ or ‘snow hare’ jumping…..on wind blown snow of course.
Very nice result. I was drawn to this by the title. As a dental lab tech of 45 years, I am experienced in lost wax casting. That's how nearly all dental work is made. A suggestion. Get a dental handpiece. They are not expensive, and are much less bulky than a Dremel. This allows you to hold it like a potato peeler, inside your fist, so to speak. Then use your thumb as a brace against the casting. You can work much more accurately this way, do very delicate movements. Good luck!
That’s good advice. I’ve been wanting to get a better dermal tool.
Very impressive skills! It turned out great!
Love your video!👍👍
Sooo cool!!!
There you go resetting the bar again, another fantastic project!

Did I tell you already that I love your work! 😉
Love these videos wolves would be cool
Mis respetos 😮
Excellent job on that casting 👍
Silicon Bronze is so malleable that you can almost bend it a whole 180 degrees.
@@mevk1 As a metal caster in the UK I di not know that but then again there is a lot I don't know! 👍
Turned out excellent nice work. How about a leaping tiger that would look very good in bronze.
That would make a beautiful bronze!
Masih bagus buatan Indonesia
👍
I love you 😘❤️🇮🇶💞😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Low heat braze on the little things
How do you get it to stick? When I try brazing on he body I can’t get the body hit enough with a torch to get anything to stick.
Do you still have the stalamite on?
I always see you use traditional investment, have you ever tried ceramic shell?
I never have. I want to at some point. But suspenda slurry is expensive. Plus the sand. And the room to store it. It’s kind of delayed my entry into the ceramic shell world.
Its known as Dokra art from India
Saw it on Facebook and followed you over here. Looks awesome! What is material is your filler rod when welding? Bronze, too? You’re using a TIG welder.. I was not aware you could TIG bronze. I would have figured you’d have had to braze it with a torch.
It’s a silicon bronze tig rod. Tig welding with bronze works really well.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Thanks for the reply and the knowledge! ✌🏼
@@lundgrenbronzestudios do you use 100% argon? Might need to do some in a week or so
@@grantballard4362 yeah do use 100% argon.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Awesome! thank you so much! I've been binging your videos :)
Amazing! I tried a bronze / brass Crawdad today........didn't work......
How did you try it?
@@lundgrenbronzestudios I tried to burn it out like your scorpion. I don't have a kiln, so I used the foundry forge. I think it would have worked over all, but I did everything wrong. Plaster paris, unknown brass/bronze mix, and a too cold mold. I don't have a way to vacuum cast either.. I'm learning slowly! I'll have a too long video tomorrow. Mentioned your channel, hopefully you'll get a sub or two.
Awesome! It’s fun to try things. I remember using my foundry furnace to try to do burn outs before I got my kiln. Very limited success.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Yeah, I think it burned out OK, but the plaster did crack some too. I tried it in a bean can that completely fell apart.
What type of investment powder do you use?
I use Ultravest from Rio Grande jewelry supply.
What is the whit stuff? Plaster?
It’s called investment. I use ultra vest from Rio Grande Jewelry supply.
Holy nice,! How many hours in this One? Etsy Item? I'd like to see a dog or a cat made.
Because of the hole by the back legs that I couldn’t repair it won’t be on Etsy. But I will eventually put a nice one on Etsy.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Maybe a tiny welder like one of those tiny Smith gas welders could have accessed that smaller hole?
An eastern style Buddha would be challenging.
I really like you vids. I have a Devil Forge, want to start some bronze casting., Say what model Dremel do you use?
I use a dermal model 200. But honestly I would like to upgrade. It gets the job done but it’s kind of big. It like a smaller variable speed dermal at some point.
