[mrfrog]

You never fail to surprise me what side hobbies and skills you've got. Well done mate.

[dusanstanic]

How to cast smaller and much finer and more detailed stuff? Is there some finer technique than this sand? Thanks

[extremelydave]

No one can say you're not willing to show different things!!! Did NOT see this one coming!!!

[sapelesteve]

Terrific work eNm! That turned out looking beautiful and would make for a really nice gift! 👍👍

[phillipbaugh]

Very good video on how to do this. Thanks for all the info and for explaining what you were using and why. I'm going to start my own jewelry business next yr

[abjmetal]

very nice job... thank you for sharing

[Elites-asthetic]

Can you do the same process for gold with the polish

[TheFutureisTheFuture]

looking to getting into making silver bars/coins/copper. The inductive coil method seems the quickest/cheapest but the crucible also seems quite small. Would you recommend going with this furnace version instead? I like the idea of the silver melting in like 8 minutes instead of an hour it takes with these furnaces.
Torch is also an option but also seems a bit less safe and lots of room to accidently burn the house down. 🙂

[ededmonds]

I 💘 to 👀 your Work.I wouldn't attempt that.

[Rusty-ic]

Ummm why does it still show the draw when it’s disconnected but when it’s hooked to the battery it shows 0?

[domingodelatorre]

Can anyone tell me if a 2Ton Arbor Press will exert enough pressure to imprint into a .999 fine silver bar?

[LarrySkunK]

Can u do this with a 3D printer pendent

[miguelcastaneda]

Hmm arent you soupposed to add borax to the silver as you melt it clear out the impurities amd skim.off the top

[darexdarex]

Doug, where did you obtain such specific knowledge of dental lab techniques? It's too intricate to be just casual.

[JT-lqyd]

How do you know all this stuff?

All I know is that a process similar to this is how car engines are made and many other things.

[ProlificInvention]

Great video. I have that same exact electric metal melter, but mine refuses to heat up anymore after 4 melts it was used for. Any ideas on troubleshooting or fixing?

[TheOldBlackCrow]

I love your videos... The detail is military grade.

Did you use the crucible that came with the furnace? If not, why? Thanks again!

[tarstarkusz]

Is this a re-up? I seem to recall seeing this video before. It could be my imagination, but I am almost certain I saw this video before.

[trench]

If you do a lot of that maybe best to collect the silver filing and particles.
isnt the casting sand soft enough to not scoop out and just press the object in?
despite I wont do most of your videos and would do some of them slightly different method on the projects I still watch them to see how your brain works which I feel every time I watch others videos I feel I will get stupid which I dont watch ticktock or trending. LOL
In the end I hope you make videos since you enjoy it and track your projects which it a lot of work but you make it seem easy. :)
