Listening to this about Chriist blood splattered garment, make me realize that going to "war" for your beliefs and there is "blood that is shed," is OK!
To me its for show only yes it can cut soft wood but dry oak? Not sure about how effective.. Looks great but i personaly prefer steel and brushed surface since i cut wood a lot.
Just a thought for you. When pouring it's easier to hit the target by positioning the spout left-right but not forward-backward, because the spout focuses the pour position L-R. The F-B accuracy is dependant on your flow control consistency, which is much poorer and especially if it's heavy. So pouring into an annulus should be done tangential not radial.
You could have replanted that tree it needed a bigger and deeper hole with decent soil! I like the look of you small axe maybe try it on green bone as it could be good for butchering a carcus!
How I upgraded my grinder,by replacing almost every part. Lol. Nice video, but I do wonder if just buying a better grinder would have been better for you instead of changing out loads of thus one.
have you ever heard of "Danielium"? it's a cast iron and aluminium bronze that was invented not too long ago by an italian youtuber, and was particularly resistant to shock and abrasive damage, maybe worth a shot?
That sand casting bench is a fantastic piece of kit. Inspired. You might also consider using the old Japanese katana trick of making a sandwich of your CU/AL alloy with a thin piece of high carbon steel in the middle, which would then be the cutting edge and would last much longer. The golden color of the alloy was very nice and I liked watching the process from start to finish.
I believe the “fin brakes” on roller coasters are copper/aluminium alloy, be interesting to see how this or pure aluminum would react to the magnetic eddy currents produced by the ball magnet
Can you do some sort of diping of the edge into molten steel or titanium or something then hammer it to put a harder edge on your bronze hammer? Like how candle wax is added to a wick to build the candle up?
Amazingly skilled work with the casting I can see years of mistakes and learning there. But yeah different edge geometry probably better for this kind of metal
Been Aware of this For a While, Strange as Copper is Not Much Magnetic(Diamagnetic) Would Love to Try With a Gold Tube, Don't have enough Gold😢 Had Wanted to Try a Sheet of Magnet, And Drop Fine Gold and Copper down the Side of it to see if it is Drawn to it. Would Be a Good way to sort Fine Gold. Have Sheet at Slight angle So Gold would Be drawn to a Slot opening, The Dirt/sand would drop straight down. Can you try any of this. You Are Better Equipt than me Right Now, Good Luck
Why is is called Bronze? Bronze is Copper and Tin. This is Copper and Aluminium. ...stuff all to do with what they had in The Bronze Age 3000 years ago. Fun to watch though :-) V would have swapped Helen for that Axe You just made.
A question for the room, thanks in advance. When melting the copper as in the video, the material was dirty as many here have said. If that ingot was sold at a scrap yard, what grade of copper would that ingot been sold at in comparison to the copper that he started out with that was contaminated? My question basically, is it worth it to melt into ingots if the material you have is contaminated similarly as in the video? Enjoyed the video very much. Thanks
I would like to see how it affects the mass of the copper cylinder on a scale. Is the weight of the copper tube increased by the amount of magnet if the copper tube is on a scale (even though the magnet is not touching the scale nor tube), or if you hold the tube in your hands while standing on a scale and someone drops the magnet through it?
It seemed so much like anti-gravity that it made me wonder how big a set-up would need to be to make it look like a person was in free fall in an SF film.
Ya know they still sell Carbon C-60 powder. I know it might be expensive but the end results will astound you!!! Did you ever hear about Jim Bouwie's Knife??
After cutting the dried hardwood, rather than 'grinding' a new edge, cold hammer the edge to both sharpen, and further harden the edge. It would have been nice if you told us to what angle you made the initial edge, and why you chose that angle.
