-This is actually my first video - your feedback is highly appreciated.
This Video is about metal casting of chess figures with self-made gypsum molds. I'll show some chemical formulas about the hardening of plaster to gypsum. And you will see a phase diagram on tin and lead melting points.
=======chess===================
The quick chess sequence at the start is mate with 4 moves (en.wikipedia.o...) In Germany known as “Schäfermatt” (de.wikipedia.o...)
======= Materials list =============
- Plaster: regular “plaster of Paris” from DIY market.
- Metal: I use “LSN 30” that is typically used as soft-solder for water pipes, rain pipes, car repair. Can be bought in any DIY market. Any other solder does also work but is typically more expensive.
- Burner: self-made Ethanol burner.
=======Video production ==========
- Video shot with regular smart phone cam and app
- Video compilation: www.openshot.org/
- Soundtrack: mixkit.co/
=======Safety===================
- Be safe and know what you are doing
- Hot metal can cause severe burn
- Hot metal in contact with any kind of humidity can cause explosions
- Lead is potentially poisonous material. Although lead metal and its oxides can practically not be absorbed through skin - any kind of dust that might be inhaled is dangerous. So preferably use lead-free solder and pay attention to any dust that can be inhaled.
