Casting a solid aluminum bat that leaves a good impression (Success/Fail) 

Why would ANYONE want to skip the production?!?! That's the best part!

What the hell, That is the coolest way to use a lathe

S class hero metal bylat!

attack rate: 210 durability: 15

I couldn't stop laughing when he was acting all cool and shit with his shades on and swings it and the bat breaks 😂😂😂

How to make this easy: 1. Drill a hole into a hollow bat 2. Fill with liquid aluminium 3. profit

I like how creative you are and not afraid to show your processes to the world both successes and failures.

I like that he didn't hide his mistakes :)

Great video!! Well done !!

Very nice! Even with the fail! I never saw anyone use an angle grinder on a lathe before. Very cool idea!

7:00 *garou has left the chat* 7:35 *metal bat has left the chat*

You did better than most of us, which has never done it. Keep up the good work and hope to see the improved version soon. SUBSCRIBED!

the main flaw is that the aluminium is cast instead of formed into shape. in order to make aluminium strong you need to organize the crystals in the material and then CNC / Lathe it into shape.

Casted aluminum is about as brittle as aluminum gets, a better approach would be to use a forged piece of aluminum (e.g 50x50mm bar, 6082-T4) and simply turn it in a lathe.

I really like that you added a skip button for the video, I don't skip the making process but it is nice to see you give people the option.

Dude you did amazing and don't listen to the haters because I play baseball and thats an awesome bat

Cool project, but the obnoxious music and faux tough guy persona really turned me off

Ohhh I get it, you were melting down the scrap for ingots to use for other projects. *Subscribed*

7:37 the worst weapon you can get in dying light

big baals for showing the fail !!! respect .

molten metal is fuckin crazy...

The music is all kinds of fucking terrible. But that bat? And that process? Damn dude that's fucking kick ass!!

just watched this in an auto queue & you look like the smartest guy in that queue...full face shield & dust mask...thanks

I love this kind of stuff! Idk why it's so interesting, but it's cool

Try running a steel rod up the centre for added strength.

You need a good aluminum alloy like aircraft 51, pure aluminum is little use in high mechanical streght applications.

Once again, a well done video. And your always readiness to admit your mistakes is refreshing. Impressed as well with your grinder/router work. Keep it up, please. I doubt that you know how much you help others trying to do the same things you do.

Great Vid! Something about melting ingots make my leaf go wood! And at the end when you swing at bricks make my wood drip syrup! LOL

I think you would be better off getting a solid block of aluminium, and just shaping it on a lathe. It's gonna be so much stronger. And i think it could be done without any fancy tools, since aluminium is so soft.

Maybe some feedback? Do you want more or less of pattern making, mold making, casting and finishing the casting?

sugestion: Should have done a “Slow Motion” video when you were hitting the items with the bat! Would have looked A1🔥🔥🔥 Great video tho I love watching things get built from scratch and your channel provides that!

Your tool collection is impressive.

Thanks for labeling the music I'll be sure to never listen to it again!

When it first came out of the mold I thought it was an accidental sledge hammer!😂

I love a good process, great work mate !

I wish to one day reach this level of manliness. Straight up just building my own stuff.

the damn music is too loud, otherwise great video

Your design is flawed not because of the recesses or grooves in the handle, but because of the technology used to make bat the. Instead of using cast aluminum, you should've used cold formed aluminum (but this is waay advanced technology, and by default too expensive), or cold rolled aluminum bar and cut it out on the lathe. Many people think that cast metal is stronger than some other forms of creating metal object. NOT TRUE!. Almost everything made of cast metal is very brittle. It can handle pressure, but not dynamical forces, such as hitting brick wall with cast aluminum bat. This is because metal makes rather big crystals while it cools (think of it as glass) and these are divided by something called crystal boundaries which on microscopic level create this effect that you think grooves on handle are responsible off. Weak points from within. So, when you (hot or cold, and for aluminum its better cold) deform material, you get to deform those crystal bodies, bonding them, not into bigger crystals, but rather bonding their boundaries, intertwining them, twisting...and so on. This is what gives it strength. So, when you buy quality tools, for example, and you see label on them: made from cast steel. This is not just taken out of the cast. It undergoes process of, usually, hot forming by the means of negatives-forms of the shape you want to make. This is why those tools are much more expensive. It is very tedious process, with quite a few steps in technology. Cold rolled bars of aluminum, underwent this process, and are much stronger from within material. So... just use a lathe, and cut it out. Much simpler, much cheaper, and any machine shop would do it for you real cheap if you supply an aluminum bar for them. This is much better for you also, because you get to choose quality of the bar yourself. Cast things are much better at absorbing vibrations, that why quality power tools as circular saws are great if they have cast construction. Peace!

straight to the point, I like it

looks awesome mate

Lost foam casting would have been a shitton easier.

I'd really hate to get glenned with that thing..

Amazing work dude!

This channel is fantastic I'm subscribing

4:25 farcry 5 What I see: 4:25 What you see:1 silver bar

Could you have done a vertical pour instead of lying the bat on its side ?

Excellent video. That bat is beautiful

Dang, that is a work of art. Nicely done! Wouldn't want to be on the wrong side if that.

Those bricks looked like Glenns head after you were done with them

Glen how did it feel?

Very cool build!

Cool stuff bro!

wish I could do this stuff. I can't even get my lawnmower to work

could just fill an old bat with concrete

you have some mad skills wow you earned my sub

looks really good

it is pretty cool but why didn't you just take the one that you smashed the brick with and fill it with aluminum

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I do think you also should have given the bat a heat treatment before use. I'm no expert,but if it were steel or cast iron I'd definitly go with a normalization process.

Nice!very Nice!!Youre a Craftsman!!!

this guy is talented

In soviet Russia you don't break bat Bat break you

Wait u can break 3 bricks no problem but u hit a tv and it snaps in half😂

Awesome video's I like watching from the beginning to the end. Keep up the awesome video thank you

That bat looks smashing.

Maybe run a steel rob up the center

it looked great. personally i didnt think the logo sticking out of the bat looked good but its your bat not mine

AWESOME, WELL DONE.

The suspense is a killer.

good video, but the music is waaaay to dominant

Cool stuff... But the soundtrack is killing me with cancer :D

Well before the TV stiffed it, it was a beautiful bat. nice job m8

awesome bro,nice bat,i love it.

what if I don't have Co2? will the silicate sand harden on its own?

And sir is there anything that you saw on the crook that might be easily identifiable? Well, i hit my logo into him.

iam impressed, wow , I can't believe you went to that extent

looks amazing!!

come on negan Lucille is fine

Metal bat from one punch man would be proud!

Negan needs one of these.

i learned some interesting techniques from this video..

Where to I find your foundry?

Press start Geometrydash subzero

I already knew what the mistake was going to cost him.

That was so satisfying

Algum Br por aqui

how much did all of that alumimum set you back?

those bars are so cool

nice ...i like it how he put the fail too

When you say aluminum I presume you are referring to the element aluminium.

what would you charge me to make 10 with a custom emblem

nice work brother

Good job man

that's a lot of work that's a 300 dollar bat

tu esi Latvietis ja es nemaldos vai arī nē

Looks heavy but still cool! Nice emblem on there

You're a small youtuber but this is some good content

Who doesn't want to see the making part

Magnesium weighs 1/3 less than aluminum & has a slightly lower melting point, and costs less per pound.

Perfect job

Am i the only one whi finds metal melting sooo satjsfying ?
