My goal for this video was to show you how you can sand cast at home with minimal supplies and financial investment. Super sorry for the blurry part, can't be bothered to reshoot it but might someday. This ring was cast from 925 sterling silver. All of the supplies I used in this video can be bought from PMC Supplies or Rio Grande (for US people).
Let me know what you want to see next! I'm thinking of learning how to do lost wax casting and making a process video for that and also a video showing the wax carving process
Please do not attempt to recreate my methods without doing your own research and taking all necessary precautions. I have been screwing around and learning on my own and most likely do not know the best way to use these tools safely and efficiently.

Awesome piece. This was the most chill video I’ve ever watched. Think I got a contact high just from the music

To answer your question as to what would happen if you don't make air vents, it wouldn't fill the mold. Since air and metal can't exist in the same space and the air has no way to escape the metal kind of sits on top of the air and doesn't flow into the part that you actually want formed

Thank you so much.

Love this simple casting Video. I think it will make people want to try it because it’s not easy but if you just put a little time and you can make some nice castings. I had purchased some wax rings already formed for casting, but I’ve never use them because I wasn’t quite sure how I should do it. Thank you so much God bless and have a happy holiday

nice tutorial and the ring turned out cool

I really appreciate it! Still learning both silver casting and video making so thanks for the encouragement

@alseyb5198 6 месяцев назад

Great tutorial-thanks I’ve always had issues with rings not fully casting-your huge sprue channel is what I will do next time. If you add a flex shaft to your Dremel, it will make it so much easier for fine control.

Thankyou for this tutorial. I have all kit just havnt made anything yet.

@landcraftworks 8 месяцев назад

Get at it! Super fun. Btw I messed up like 10+ mounds and had to start over before I made anything right, and I still mess up a lot, so push through that initial learning stage and keep at it!

you can prepare the crucible where you melt the silver with borax salt to clean the impurities, and you can also make the alloy with 5% copper so that your jewelry does not become too soft and has greater durability over the years, the silver pure damage, easy, a good league can help you, this was translated by Google, I don't know if you'll be able to understand hahahah

@landcraftworks 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, that makes sense! I actually did add some Borax but didn’t manage to capture that in the video. I was fumbling a lot between takes haha. I will try adding copper, I was wondering why I was getting scratches and dings so easily. 🙏

@landcraftworks 8 месяцев назад

Sorry I have a question about this, do you add 5% copper as measured by weight or volume?

@scotts4134 2 месяца назад

Nice ring! Can you explain what "conversion" you used, to calculate how much silver you needed? I didn't grasp it in the video too well! Also, what kind of compound did you use to polish it? Thanks.

Muito bom! poste mais gostei do video e a legenda automatica esta perfeita consegui entender tudo mesmo sendo brasileiro e não sabendo ingles!

@landcraftworks 9 месяцев назад

Obrigado pelas palavras gentis! Estou tão surpreso que o RU-vid tenha sido capaz de traduzir minhas palavras murmurando, mas estou feliz que sim. Mais vídeos por vir. Algo em particular que você queira me ver fazer a seguir?

@anniecoutanceau1691 8 месяцев назад

Thankyou for your tutorial! Im going to try this one day! Can you please tell me where you get the cylinder and nozzle from? Is it butane gas? I live in Aussie...i like the idea of that small cylinder. Im silversmithing just using small butane torches.

@landcraftworks 8 месяцев назад

Hey! You’re very welcome. :) I’m using this: www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/welding-and-soldering-tools/welding-accessories/2197408 I just picked it up at my local hardware store here in California. MAP gas is I think one of the hotter burning gasses that comes in a can. You should be able to get it in a hardware store in AUS. Make sure the torch you get is made for MAP gas as I understand some that are made for butane or propane can’t stand up to the heat!

do you need to pickle after casting?

@landcraftworks 9 месяцев назад

Hey! I’m pretty new to this and am not really sure but I did not pickle it. I think that is mostly necessary after soldering which I did not do here. I just buffed it out with some polishing compound to get to a mirror finish. However since this video I made a blackening solution using baking soda and sulfur, then polished to flat surfaces! If gave it a pretty cool look! I’ll make a video on that soon I think.I’ll try and remember to let you know when I learn about pickling :)

@manalmahmoud2854 4 месяца назад

Hi, thanks so much for this video and answering my question :). My only other question would be how do you get rid of the extra metal from the sprue after sawing it? I only have a flex shaft, would I just file it down with sticks or is there something I could put on my flex shaft? @@landcraftworks

What type sand is this bro?

@landcraftworks 5 месяцев назад

This is Petrobond sand but i've since switched to Delft Clay! if you're willing to pay double for the initial investment in the sand I would recommend Delft clay... will save you a lot of time and heartache
