In this video I will be making a 6 pound (2.6 Kilo) Silver sledge hammer. First I 3-D printed the sledge hammer shape using a filament called Polycast. Then I coated the pieces in a ceramic material, called Suspendaslurry. I burned the plastic filament out of the shells in my kiln, and vitrified the shells. I melted 12 pounds of sterling silver and then poured it into the ceramic shell mold. Then I broke off the ceramic material to reveal the casting. Once the casting was complete, I spent several hours sanding and polishing it. Then I made a walnut hammer to attach the beautiful silver hammer head to.

OK, you HAVE to do Gold next. It's the next logical, accessible metal to continue the series. But maybe not the same size, just a tapper hammer of the same design. And you could cheat with electrum, or 'placer gold', which is an alloy of gold and silver.

a teaspoon or two of borax takes care of greatly reducing the bubbles inclusion. You can add it right when it starts melting, and gently stirring it up right before pouring, but like a baker, trying not to agitate the molten metal much. Just slowly and steadily swirling around a couple of times. Lovely shapes, color contrasts and attention to detail.

For filling in the air bubbles while sidestepping the thermal conductivity, I'd think about impact welding, such as the Dymet powder spraying technology. This instantly welds tiny particles to the main body by colliding them at the correct speed, so they stick like snowballs.

But that's just an opinion. You result looks awesome, that's a fact. :)
