Casting An Aluminum Skillet From Start To Finish 

Thank you Tito4re, this is the only casting video I've seen that showed the whole process, wasn't 32 parts, and didn't waste time on pointless tidbits. Thanks for sharing.

I was literally thinking "please cook with it - this video will be complete with a cooked meal" and then you started cooking with it. Definitely pleased.

I like that he cast a skillet to cook an egg, but then ate with his hands. Cast a knife and fork next! Great stuff! Really want to give this a go myself.

Tito, no one else takes that much time to make a cast so perfectly that you get it right on the first try. Nice Job!

You gotta admire a man who not only can cook eggs, but can make the pan to cook them in.

You would be a handy friend to have after the apocalypse. I'd be stopping buy to pick up cooking pans, knives and toy guns.

Awsome. Make more casting vids. Thanks for showing.

This is one of those videos I like because no one talks.

For lifting the iron pan out of the mold, I recommend using a strong shop magnet to minimize the risk of damaging the mold.

i love how you get straight to business

Thank you. You've actually shown a step i've been missing. Should make my next casting project much easier

Nice job, looks pretty usable! Here's a couple of thoughts, though: Mold the sprue with the part, not after removing it, that way you avoid messing up the mold. I saw a Romanian dude using wedge-shaped sprues to make his pots, so he'd just hammer them off instead of sawing. You could also place the sprue away from the mold altogether, and connect them with a runner. Molding a pouring cup/funnel makes it easier with aiming the pour. Unless that baby powder is actually just talc, there are better materials to use as parting powder. Graphite powder, for example. Don't go throwing and mixing sand on top of the parting powder all willy-nilly, be more careful with the sand layer immediately after the parting powder and you'll get better results. Make yourself a proper crucible holder, you'll end up getting burnt using just those pliers, not to mention it's not really the safest way to hold a crucible full of molten metal. Hope that helps!

Большое уважение к человеку труда! Старательно изготовил сковороду, молодец!

Good job, in spite of all the "Oh no Aluminum is bad!" nervous Nelly posts. Having, just a few minutes ago, lost a pour when my stainless steel crucible burnt through, I was delighted about how well yours went.

Frying an egg at the end, definitely a nice touch 👌

It is always good to see a craftsman doing his thing, nice one guy.

That was pretty cool!

This guy just won't shut up! Talk, talk, talk, talk. Its like an episode of "The View". ;)

Great job on the pan,thank you for the vid.

Yes!!! You read my mind by frying an egg in it at the end. Not sure why anyone would give this a thumbs down though.

Good job. That was really neat to watch. Don't forget the bacon next time.

Time to cast a fork!

Wonderful job👍 Thanks for sharing. It was quite entertaining.

Excellent work.

time to smack some heavies with that skillet

Id like to see a copper version of the pan. I think that would be interesting.

no music (can substitute own). pure skilled work. no BS. upvoted. thanks!

nice job. its satisfying to create things....

Good job 👏🏽👍🏽

mold your play button when you get it

That was quite impressive, well done.

your mold game is on point. great video, man.

Awesome. (Also, now I want eggs...)

I dont know howi found your channel but i watch your videos to relax :D Great Work ! Thumbs Up Greetings from Germany

Very nice! Excellent work.

Finally a casting I enjoy them a lot

"What would you like for breakfast, John?" "Oh, I don't know, honey, how about some Alzheimers?"

Would love to see you make a copper fry pan, look into aluminum toxicity.

Great job! If you will degas your aluminum before you pour it you will get smoother cast less bubbles. Use about a tsp of sodium carbonate forced down in the aluminum.

Love these vids of casting, keep it up!

Nice cast! I want to replicate an old griddle of my mother's. It's aluminium, so I'm hoping it will be like the original. What kind of sand do I need? Is there anything special about it, or anything that needs to be added? Thanks in advance!!

that is really quite cool. one thing though. that egg was the nastiest thing I've ever seen lol

You, Sir, are amazing.

Love the new type if video bro! Great change of pace! Keep up the great work!

You wouldn't download a frypan

This Is So Satisfying.

You are an excellent craftsman, keep it up, love your vids.

Still here 2024 loved these videos when I was little

Can you reuse the play-sand or is it one use only and scrap?

Can you do a video on how you made you furnace?

Great video love watching your channel

That is some dedication to making a pan. Awesome to see it though. Im just getting into castings myself. Maybe one day I can do this. Just think if you did 3 holes perfectly you can make a pan with legs to stand over a campfire and cook right on the fire.

dude your really good at this shit you should do a giveaway for a cast item a cast of a fome sowrd will be really cool 😊

I loved the casting but please tell me you don't normally cook eggs drowning in oil like that.

this video comes up multiple times in my sub box

Awesome! I love that you cooked using the same furnace you used to make the pan 😄. Great job

Wow, the casting came out really good (at first I was worried that your green sand doesn't have enough clay or it's too dry, but seemed to be good enough). How about trying plaster next time? It can be used to cast all the nonferrous metals that have a melting point below that of iron and it definitely gives you a better surface finish (MUCH less touch-up is needed afterwards). Oh and BTW you don't need that much oil for the fried eggs. Just a light coating of the pan (which barely covers the whole surface) is enough. ;)

Cooking with aluminium is rather deadly

Great video love the ending

Excellent. I like it very much.

let's just deep fry an egg

you are supposed to frie the egg, not boil it, ease on the oil there :D

Buen trabajo hombre.

You deserve another award. Keep up the good work 👍.

lol my dude really cooked an egg😂😂😂

People that flip fried eggs just are the devil, nice pan though

Great Job Man Your Work Is To Be Appreciated👏🏻👍🏻

Really awesome man

hey bruh my grandma needs a Tortilla warmer u think u can make me one lmfao

that was a lot of oil for just one egg

i was waiting for the wire wheel lol good cast!

That is hella dope!!!

Can you actually use that skillet to cook? Without it melting?

Was that a deep fried egg? I thought I was having a partial heart attack watching you cook and dump all that salt on there.

I'm digging that stove

the salt and pepper was a perfect finish...nice job on the pan.

But you should use cast iron for this because aluminum makes food unhealthy.

it needs more pepper

dont know why i love this so much

Thanks so so much. This is the best and easiest video for me.

First time I've seen some one deep fry an egg. Way to much oil.

so basically u used a pan 2 create another pan

Ok may I give you a little advice about molding? Your method is perfect but the way you press the sand is make it not pressed very good and give you a bad surface on your casting Here's what you should do : Cut a piece of wood about 2 by 2 inches then make one side of wood like a pyramid ( for weight distribution ) after you filled the mold with sand use it instead of that peace of wood you have, simply place the flat side over the sand and hit it with rubber hammer ( coz it suck shocks and distribute weight more evenly) This thing good for 2 reasons First it make the inside of mold welly smooth and second it press it more which make the line between to parts stick better and less aluminum will exist and you'll have better edges . Just don't be afraid of using force, hit it kinda hard but use less force on second mold with that you'll have a perfect flatness between two molds Sry 4 bad English 😅 Love your videos keep it up 😘

Same way I eat my eggs, that looks delicious! Great looking pan!

why r peolpe saying the egg looks gross it looks yummy

Enjoy your aluminium poisoned egg.

Subscribed; Keep up the good work

Que chingoneria hermano!!

Thats a lot of oil man.

Do you want some egg with your oil

I watched like all your videos so far lol 🙊 so interesting!

Very cool video! I definitely wanna get an apprenticeship in this

all that effort just to fry an egg.

why reupload?

Very good and thank you!

great job!!!

wayyy too much oil

I like the video. hate that you are using it for cooking. It is a health risk using an untreated and unsealed Aluminum surface for cooking. Even more if you cook with acidic foods. As a person that does a lot of casting, I would advise against this. Even just melting the Aluminum can be harmful to your health because of the vapors that the Aluminum makes when melting. I am not saying don't cast Aluminum, just take the proper safety precautions. .

απιστευτος! μπραβο!

Can we stop making fun of how much oil and just appreciate how awesome this videos lol
