Sand Casting - From Start to Finish 

So fascinating, thanks for showing us what this is all about. Loved watching your amazing demonstration!🎉❤

That was awesome video I really had never watched any silver casting and I learned pretty much everything in this one I'll take over from here.

for better results need to make a few holles in the delft clay, why ?for the gas result of melting metal can escape and the object will be much more perfect.

Fantastic silver casting tutorial! Really enjoyed ♡

This is great. We will have to try this some day!!

Thank you for this great tutorial 😊👍🏻!!!

Marvelous Melissa, thank you for sharing.

Great technique, thanks for sharing!

Thanks that was just what i needed to understand how the flask works.

Excellent instructional vid. Thanks.

thanks mem for give your precious time for answer

Great piece. I'm curious as to why you didn't create any vents in the mold. I thought that was a "must" procedure. Thanks.

wow, what is that turning disk/stand? looks very handy

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I would have loved commentary on what you are exactly doing and why. Also, can this be done with bronze? The music is a bit distracting.

How beautiful and thank you for your help😍. No matter how much I searched, I could not find this clay in my area😰. And since I live in Iran, companies can not send to me😕. do you have a recipe of making this clay? Thank you sincerely🙏

🌷

Wow i also try tomorrow

thanks for this helpful video, can't wait to get started! :-)

I’ve been trying this using the MAP gas tank map pro tank and my metal (I’ve tried brass and silver) never seems to stay liquid long enough. I get the metal past the melting point as I would for spin casting but it seems that every pour just goes cold too fast. The only successful pour I’ve had has been bismuth. Any suggestions?

anybody knows substitude to delft clay? can`t find it at home and no possibility to order delivery

Is the trough that you cut around the piece used to allow displaced air to escape? Is there a circumstance where you use air vent holes - like for a large piece?

I'm with you Carrington. Melissa does some fine work. I also would like to know what type of grinder you use to clean up your artwork?

Hi - Can you use the same crucible for melting copper / silver / gold? Or do you use separate crucibles for each metal type that you cast...?

I take it that is baby powder? I am starting to get into casting. Will be trying it here in the next month or so. The powder is to keep the item from sticking? thanks for sharing and great video.

Oh I'm so going to get that kit!! Thanks for sharing :) P.s - what kind of enamel was that?

What's the materials i need?

thanks!!..

thanks to share

hermoso gracias

Very informative Thank you for this video.. I like music of the beginning of the video , what's the title and the musician ?

Would this be possible making a curb ring this way Thanks

mem in the end you use black liquid what is this and where can find and how much time for dry

That looks good. Can it make any money, though?

Wts the red sand u used

What do you use to make the patterns to make the cast out of if I was starting out before having an already metal castes one?

Hello that is silver? or aluminum?

Hello! What is that black liquid you used at the end? Thank you

I would like to know if you use vent in the molds?

How do you know how much silver or other metal to use

What is the powder used to separate the mold halfs?

Where would I get the casting equipment?

What is the black?

What’s the white powder called?

Where did you get the flask?

What is your torch setup? :)

hey what powder did u apply to the piece ?

I know talking in fron the camera is annoying but a little information would be awesome. Such as paint your using as well as the talcum powder someone asked about. Have an outstanding day

Is that silver you are casting?

Hi what is white powder?

Wait, a time skip happened at 3:28. So how long does it take for the metal to melt? Cuz I read that sand casting was supposed to be one of the cheaper and easier manufacturing methods. 4:09 Wait, don't you need some kind of exit hole for air to escape, so the molten metal can pour in? 4:15 I think you kinda skipped the sand removal part. So we didn't get to see whether you performed the shakeout by vibrations or waterjets, etc. 5:51 Wait so how did you wipe away the excess paint? Dislike.

When I was in school no music .Teacher would tell you what she was doing. Why did you v out the edge.

If you look at Andrew Berry’s Videos on Delft casting, you will see what I believe is a better way to do the casting, and it has a very good commentary.

Could you speak up please, becuase I cannot hear the instructions, it must be the blasting music-AGAIN I think I must going deaf
