Making a Solid Metal Coyote Skull | Casting Molten Tin

I made a catalyzed silicone rubber mold using a Coyote Skull and then poured a molten metal alloy made out of tin and bismuth. The result is a 5lbs solid metal skull doorknocker. Parts of the coyote skull where thin and delicate so I used modeling clay to make those parts thicker prior to creating the mold.

The Cerrotru alloy I used has a very low melting temperature so I was able to melt it all with a plug in hot pot.

Hey Nord, stop getting people to try to explain VPN's. It's not accurate.

This is the most metal thing I have ever seen!

[EthanCarterDesigns]

So freakin cool Ben! I can see so many applications for this technique - as always, I'm so inspired by your creativity and experimentation!

[BruceAUlrich]

Nobody else in the neighborhood had one of those! Very cool!

Soooo about the container home. Is the project over?

[noahcwb]

I absolutely love the concept and end result! but I wish the pivot point was a little more hidden.

Something different and interesting, thanks Ben.

[shadowblade]

really dig it, thanks your awesome ideas ben

[nelbamartinez]

Thanks. I love it.

Can metal tin be a soldering?

[raynoladominguez]

Well you know. What I said on I.G. Yes you are pretty brilliant.

That thing is going to be banging all over once placed on a swinging door.

Hi, I love all the wonderful things you make and the way you explain the process. Just wondering if you have ever made a parcel letterbox? I’m having such a hard time finding a tutorial 😕 I would really appreciate it if you could help us figure this out 🙏🏻 Thanks Patrice

The easiest way to remove mill scale and rust together is to soak the metal in diluted muriatic acid for 10-15 minutes.

At some point in the video, it reminds me of a kick drum pedal. That’d be better in steel I guess, so you can keep stomping on that mangy coyote

Esta bien!👍.Para mí, mejor más grande calavera de toro texano, si puedes probar. Gracias a tu video

Is the mold you used for this project reusable?

[Joe-znje]

does anyone know if you can cast a gamecube controller shell?

[oecypher]

now take a boat load of pictures and use photogrammetry to make 3d models for your youtube fans

[dfurey]

Cool, but all that effort and that cheap screw and bolt?

I am slowly getting over channels bypassing me paying YouTube for commercial free, I do mean slowly It still ticks me off. I don't understand how you are picking your sponsors, the Stupid VPN is not something 90 percent of people watching your videos are even interested in. I am a maker like yourself, 3d printing, Pyrography, I also am a professional jeweler. You might want to advertise something that is useful to the majority of your audience. However, I hate commercials soo much I won't be buying anything that is from a commercial especially if I am paying for no commercials.
