I'm still coming here for tips and help with projects I do because TKOR really did inspire many
Yeah sadly the best people, die young
Grant, a typical mix for green sand is 93-94% sand and 6-7% bentonite clay. You will want to do a couple of things. After mixing your dry components together slowly add water until the sand is moist but not sticking badly to your hands. Let this sit a while to actually hydrate the clay. The next step is to mull the sand. To mull you want a squishing sliding motion. The idea is to coat the sand with the clay you have mixed in. To test the green sand, take a handful and squeeze it into a sausage. It shouldn't stick to your hands much. Then break the sausage in half. It should break clean and not crumble. If it crumbles then you do not have enough water in it. If the sand sticks to your hand and the sausage does not break cleanly then you need more clay. Keep in mind you only want enough clay to coat the sand. Any more, may give you slightly more green strength, but you lose porosity which will affect your casting. I hope you find that helpful.

Thanks
Anybody else say "Oooooh don't breath this" when he opens the blender jar? 🤣
Sujat Miah Kitty litter smoke. Don't breathe this!
Breathe not breath
I had trouble breathing the whole video lmao
Grant Thompson: I don't want to use the big sifter
Uses big sifter
was looking for this comment lol
vic cobb same
lolz dido
me me big boi?
He did say explain it was for speeding up the process
You have to mix your Potassium Nitrate with Magnesium Powder in 50/50 and light this. It is Flash Powder and better than Blackpowder. Try some experiments with this.
Pls like that he sees it :)
that will be cool
123 likes!
yes especially the firecracker he made will be much more powerfull.
Ps: the most powerful flash powder is Potassium Perchlorate and Aluminium Powder in 70/30, but it is a lot more sensitive.
The crazy thing about all this is how easy it and cheap it is to make it if you know what to look for
lafi08 we literally Messed around with magnesium in science today....gg to this comment
YESSSS MORE CASTING! I love watching you cast stuff!
I like how you not only talk about alternative methods, but also *do* them so we can get an idea of the process.
The sand I have used for years is graded washed quarry sand. The powdered bentonite is ready to use from clay pottery supply shops and I use a mini mix cement mixer to do all the mixing. Dry mix sand & bentonite first then add water till it holds. Try not to use too much water or you will have steam pockets blowing through the casting. Degassing tablets & flux really make a final quality difference. Make sure you vent the sand mould thoroughly to allow the steam out.
Can you try making glass from sand?
Elggu nice idea.
Elggu I second that! people have been asking about it and he did make a marble melting video but I want to see him actually make glass! maybe even cast a glass pokeball or figurine!
When I suggest this people say you cant make glass from sand.
Pour some silica sand, some soda and a dash of lime (calcium, not the fruit, we're not cocking food here) in a crucible. Mix it up and heat to about 1700 degrees (that's about 3100 Yank degrees), and you've got glass...
Blahorga Slisk cocking?
These videos educate me more than my high school teacher does. XD
Pure Skhillz so tell me what have you learned?
I learnt that you should never ask your teacher what is love, cuz' they will always reply with "baby don't hurt me don't hurt me anymore..." -_-
Pure Skhillz what did you learn from grant?
Pure Skhillz yeah. But that probably won't help you irl. He didnt even give a full recepie
i agree
Some things that I would like to add. Green sand is only used for 'soft' metals like aluminum. It will not work with casting steel. You need oil sand for that. Also, when storing it, it doesn't hurt to mist a little more water on top. Especially if you live in a hot and dry area
and can you spray the oil as the water on the sand? Or do you just pour it? And which kind of oil?
Pool filter sand is much cheaper that aquarium sand and can be just as fine.
Darya h

works great for aquariums too.
H
can you make glass from sand
Animesh Sharma yes that's how glass it made
ask him to make it please
Synic okk
Niklas Jaaskelainen 😂 jup
WidowMaker its not straight forward at all
"Moist but not wet"- Grant Thompson
cpt. juicbox It's just like my name
cpt. juicbox haha
cpt. juicbox 😂
Thank you! Me and my friends have made the foundry and this is the last step we need to cast :D
It's a really hard work to do shifting a LOT of sand! You're the best Grant!
i just watch these videos without actually making or doing anything
has wijnen me too, I love watching it for no reason xD
has wijnen cuz its satisfying
They inspire creativity
I lack skill to do such stuff, other then that it's oddly satisfying to watch.
has wijnen I really want to make blackpowder or other stuff, but my parents won't allow it... (im underage)
But I did the matchstick rocket and the match armgun (?) (I forgot the name, soory)
I like your videos because they are really educational and scientific.....thanks for posting these kinds of videos!!!!!!!😊😊😊
J- Series Dont ask people to ask to subscribe to your channel. Its childish.
+J- Series
I just checked out your channel.
I love life hacks so I subscribed.
I'm here the day it was posted!!!! YAY! !!😁
"Make sure its a blender you dont care about too much."
SoonToBeANightCoreChannel He probably doesn't care about it but his wife does
The Magic bullet has many different blades that you add into the body to use. That's what he meant 😅
if you put water in a vacuum chamber then freeze it will you have crystal clear ice?
I do not know, but distilled water should freeze perfectly clear.
drippingwax I mean like water you can get from your sink
Aboody Buz no
Kingseeker GAMING but won't it pull out most of the bubbles
***** k
just want to say that I prefer these types of videos to those that you have been doing of late. It's my opinion though, I just like the more projecty videos
I'm really glad you made this video, I was trying to make my own and completely neglected to grind up the clay component
Who would've thought you could make sieving sand so interesting
I just watched an 8 minute video of a man making sand from sand wtf am I doing with my life
Sam Lashford you've never done metal casting evidently
Ha! I was just thinking the exact same thing lol😭
Sam Lashford W
Sam Lashford almost 9 minutes actually
Sam Lashford agreed
WOW.....FINALLY ! A VERY WELL THOROUGH VIDEO ON TH-cam ! I LOVE IT ! THANK YOU !
King of random, I just wanted to say that you have the greatest videos
can you make glass in the new foundry you made??
like if you all support guys.
Darshan Mathukiya that foundry can't melt glass.
Arc foundry can only melt glass.
Faizan Shaikh it can melt if Grant sir uses hi Power of Sun experiential Giant T.V. lens and put it on the top of foundry and propane Torches in the bottomand in this way he will get immense amount of heat and can easily melt or make glass.
Darshan Mathukiya the plasma one can melt glass easily! if you have all of the materials than yeah you can make it
Levi Steber let's see man I believe Grant Sir he will surely do this experiment in his own way.
I'm here enjoying your channel. I especially like the variety you have. It fits my eclectic mind.
Another option is to use a ball mill to crush the granular materials down to almost whatever size is required. The draw back is that it is noisy and takes a long time to crush the materials down the the grade needed, but the plus side is this would allow you to use more of the granular materials purchased as well as allowing you to create a finer powder then you could get from sifting. From here you could test just how fine a powder could be used for metal casting purposes or other experiments. This is my first comment so I gotta add that I love the content your posting. Thanks for keeping experimentation fun and accessible. :)
"Moist, but not wet." -Grant Thompson, 2017
that was pretty cool!
Clear and useful explanation, thanks a lot King.
The fun part of this video is that in real life I am a soil lab technician so that whole mixing the sand and water is what we do at my work, it's called the optimum moisture content, and it's the point where the sample has got water in it but isn't overmoist, and you use that water content to figure out how much you can compact the soil. It's what happens when you build anything so that the builders know you are compacting the ground enough so it doesn't suddenly sink a new building from the weight on top.`
you should make a pokeball that when you throw it explodes on impact
Stephen039 or when you throw it it transforms into a Pokémon
explosive pokeballs
I'm very surprised at how coarse the 'play sand' was. Here in the UK, 'play sand' is very fine grains, almost as fine as the aquarium sand.
I pour various metals. Silver,copper,aluminium and brass and I think I can definitely use this tutorial my friend !
At 1:45, I did the same thing years ago to cement mix. All I needed was the "morter powder" not all the pebbles. So I bought a sieve, sat down, and sieved enough mix to get the required amount of mortar. And the sieve is jow used in the kitchen !
"That came out faster than I was expecting" That's what she said.
Rip I’m watching this in 2019
So sad you are no longer with us. You will always be the king of random
This is making my patience grow thin because buying the finest materials is sooool much easier... come on Grant.
Who here his reading the comments while watching the video or wile the video is playing in the background?
I am! :D
JJGames - CSGO&More фак ю😃
me too
Who else always goes through the comments and wish you wrote that
Donovan Cassidy I wish i wrote that
i wish i replied that
i wish i replied to that reply
I wish i could reply to the guy who wished that he could reply to the guy who wanted to reply to the guy who wished he could reply to the guy that wished he could've wrote that who commented on a Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" video because he always goes through the comments and wish he wrote that
I wish i could reply to your mama
I've learned casting last semester on college, and yeah, moulding sand is great and easy way to do stuff.
And as for making it, "the finest" is not always better, there are lots of factors that play a role in making moulding sand, but since I've learned that in Polish, it might be a bit difficult for me to translate that.
Thank you! I have been hesitant to make my own green sand because I have not wanted to do this experimentation myself with limited resources, space, and patience
Hi Grant! Can You Pls Try Making The Thunder Cap Impact Powder But Use BlackPowder Instead Of The MatchHead Power! Thank You!!!
Pls Like So Grant Can See!
will you make a video about that homemade nitrogen machine that u made ?
I've seen some how to's for clear/transparent wood! it requires some strong acid, but you should give that a go!
Hey Grant, about the moisture part, you could speed it very quickly spraying water from a paint gun while you pour the sand from one bocket to another!
You should've had Nissan GTR, because we all know GTR (Grant Thompson ROCKS!!!)
Thar was clever😀
+Epicmonkeyman FTW not as clever as your spelling of that
nunchuck90 what does ftw mean
nunchuck90 oh lol
Hi Grant😁😁,
pls,pls,please make a detailed video on how to make liquid nitrogen generator.
Again guys,like if you agree👍👍
what kind of videos u make on ur channel
Literally everthing in the video is fine and ALSO the video and the song are fine
Grant, an alternative to bentonite kitty litter is diatomaceous earth. It's extremely fine bentonite/potters clay powder and can be purchased at any agricultural store and many pet shops. Even Walmart.
Try melting down magnets
Aj Maricano i dont suggest doing that.
I miss him, hard watch...
Yay more projects!!!!!
Thank you for great tutorial! You saved my day!👏🙏
Who's watching this in 2019
what happens if you add food colouring into melted metal
Can Onay evaporation probably
Can Onay ㄷㅈㅈ
Great video
R.I.P. Grant, we miss you brother
Help LinusTechTips to cast that heatsink
Hey Grant, you should've just automized the sifting process by connecting the big and small mesh using paper (like a funnel), then you can connect this system to a vibrator and voila: automatic sand sifting machine. All you need to do is keep adding the sand to the top part of the funnel with the larger mesh and get the fine grain on the other end. Cheers!
Mueed nice idea
Cheers mate! :)
I quick tip for getting fine sand on a budget: bake it in the oven a few times, the heat change cracks the sand. Parents used the method to turn regular play sand into a fine sandblasting sand (they were sandblasting a car)
Grant, I have an idea. So, take three birthday cake candles tape them together with a sticky not in between the candles. Finally wrap it up altogether with another piece of paper and maybe try to put gun powder in is. and you can try to fire off gasoline with it.
Can you make lava?
TheMati117 He has, with the arc foundry.
can u make a shield from metal foundry!!! that would be cool and it would be even more awesome if u made captain america design on it
Cookie_killz look up ZNA Productions he'll teach u how
TKOR FOR LIFE
Nostalgia man.. it hurts..
IN ORDER TO MAKE A MORE EFFECTIVE BLACK POWDER YOU HAVE TO GRIND IT IN A BALL MILL, SOMETHING I TOLD YOU BEFORE, CAN YOU TEACH US HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE BALL MILL?
"I dont like sand. Its coarse, rough, and irritating...and it gets everywhere."
thank you this answers alot of my questions
*The man with the most patience in the world*
can you caste aluminum with kientic sand ?? like this to make him see it please
up
up
I wouldn't recommend it.
It is for fun just want to what will happen
Jan Kadry what's that?
whatisup noti squad?
I also always wanted to know how to make casting sand. Thanks.
Hey Grant - the recipe I was taught (once and long ago) involved motor oil where you are using water. Something about steam really fouling up the casting. FYI. Thanks for the video!
I am Wondering If you could MAKE a Miniature THERMONUCLEAR REACTOR
It may Cause A Portion Of 2 Rads Per Hour Depending On The Uranium Isotope...But Is Is Worth The Risk Right?
Justt Suggesting Better Put on Ur Hazmat Suit Guys....😷😷😷😷😷💀
Chizuru Yoshida And why is does every other word in your sentence have a capital?
U know That Little Ncoear Reactor That Id Like A Childs Toy...But Homemade?
BTW Im 7 yrs Old So dont ask Why I Type This Way...
K
Chizuru Yoshida You have no idea what an isotope is, let alone anything about uranium, and don't start every one of your words with a capital.
Make glass play buttons.Like if you agree
That would be hard to make it clean
Anything's possible when it's RANDOM
Very informative thanks for sharing
A local sand and gravel supplier would have a variety of screened sand products in specific mesh values. You can get the exact consistency you want and it will typically be cheaper than aquarium sand.
Make your own airsoft gun!!! =)
that would be cool
First Fist Thirst.
hole - 1st drill press channel you don't upload much l, why not?
nope ;)
I upload one episode ev´ry friday!
hole - 1st drill press channel ok :) I'll be waiting then!
Huh??
You are great!Amazing!
I think you can use bentonite clay powder instead of kitty litter from the garden supplies store , it is added to soil to control moisture and nutrients cause it acts very much like a sponge and it is already a fine powder .
One Could say this video was.
Sandy :P
Moist
Ventiix hook
I don't get it.
No How did You come Up with that question? xD
Ventiix I thought you were going to say lit, and then dab. My friends have been doing that a lot to me lately after everything I say and every time they do a part of me dies on the inside.
May the Fourth be with you.
that profile pic tho
Cool I love all your videos you are a awesome guy
I love your channel keep it up
Please make diy kinetic sand
What happens if you microwave liquid nitrogen or dry ice
The Loner It can't smelt it will just slowly vaporize
I agree its the grain size that matters and all soil mixtures contain different ratio's of sand , silt , and clay so its figuring out the best ratio for sand casting. Powder clay itself i say is the best for compacted your mold in it would almost make it harden a little into modeling clay if sprayed with water a little. Then you demold the item and cast into it with vent and pour holes drawn in the clay. The clay is like an earthware ceramic so should hold form when metal is poured in. Heck it might even create a ceramic outer shell in sand .

From doing this for a living, instead of using water, used (then filtered) motor oil works quite well.
Try to put orbees in liquid propane/butane and then light it on fire and see what happens
Like if you agree
Madmagic it would be cool to see it but as the other comment said it would just burn and likely it would create toxic fumes
Madmagic they don't absorb lighter fluid
