  1. If your are near any marina, you should look into casting zinc. I have had marinas give me as many used zincs as I wanted.
    You can easily melt it in a steel crucible, and is casts well.

  2. Ay mate top notch cast that one – the clay gets extremely good detail – got a good collection there mate, keep you busy dusting them all waiting for metal to molten lava haha — keep up the great content bloke and have a good weekend

  3. Awesome skull, that should ward of goblins trying to steal your stuff 😀

    Also small idea, if you have a lot of tiny scraps or slag (dunno if that's the right term for what you scrape off the surface before casting) did you think of melting that together into a frankenstein ingot of mixed metals? Don't know how feasible that is though, I know some metals evaporate and release toxic fumes if overheated.

  4. That crucible that you got there is too new, it's best to use them once they are broken in a bit. That thing looks like it just came off the bloody assembly line!

  5. Cool video. As joyful as always 🙂

    What you could try to do though would be hard, try to very nicely handwrite your YouTube name on a styrofoam slab. Though make it thick so obviously… it's not gonna be just some wiring. Though that would be interesting.

    And once you wrote the name just cut out the name using a hot metal stick or whatever.

    Keep it up!

  6. Easy to critique safety while watching a video, but isn't that crucible very dangerous at this point? If it breaks and falls out of your tongs, you might have a bad time.

    That being said, the skull looks like a good cast. Why not cast a more lifelike skull though?
