Metal Casting with Pewter
Pewter casting is easier than it looks! With the right tools and a bit of patience, it's simple to create all sorts of detailed pieces. Let me show you how!

HUGE Gear Ratio - Making a Timelapse

I had several requests to upload a timelapse video of this gear train running, so I decided to document the process of making it happen! My Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/SomethingUncommon

A follow-up to my previous video. I wanted to show my basic process for creating the mechanism so others could try it themselves.

World Sim - Part 2

Just a work-in-progress. I implemented infinite map scrolling. This is a side project I've been working on to explore various procedural generation ideas. My plan is to have fully procedural NPCs, each with a history, that you can interact with for quests. Much of it is planned out on paper though, and I only work on it when I can.

The current progress for my 4-player work in progress. I added black holes! This is an ongoing side-project I've been playing with to see how well it might work. This is built in Godot. Godot Engine: godotengine.org/
FTL, Engine glow, etc
Переглядів 3246 років тому
Yet another side project... I've been wanting to try my hand at a 3D space simulation. In this video I'm demonstrating multiple solar systems, the FTL effect, planet shaders, and engine glow. I've also implemented basic weapons and salvaging of derelict vessels, but those aren't in this video. All built using the Godot engine: godotengine.org/

    If pewter had the color of brass or copper it would be perfect.

    the issue with humidity and lack of detail from the mold due to moisture can be solved by pre-baking the mold or leaving the mold in dessicant overnight

    i think you could redesign by a 3d print and making more spaces between the teeth so that tightness can be reduced, as well as well as making the diameter of the circle by a few mm to let it move freely. when done, you can also design a new box so that it will have more space and less friction then put lubricants

      you can polish pewter in a tumbler but use steel ball bearings as media, smooth ceramic chips work as well.

  • @tinayoga8844
    @tinayoga8844 Рік тому

    As far as using baby powder. There has been a switch away from Talc and it has been replaced with Cornstarch. (also called cornflower in some places) Baby powder with cornstarch is not a good replacement for talc in metal casting. You need Talc, talcum powder. Check the ingredients list before you buy/use it.

    This just popped up in my recommended, great to find someone who does metal casting pewter too, I love how easy it is to melt and remelt and takes all the details very well. I usually cast in silicone molds, but I am going to look into this method for sure! Subscribed and rang the bell for more. Hope you upload again in the near future. 👍👊

    Amazing video, I was just wondering if pewter could be used for really small shiny pieces. I was wondering if I could make a metal tooth cap, usually grillz for teeth are made with silver or gold. Would lead free pewter work in an easy cast replacement of this?

    This was good. I’m wanting to pour some metal into a wood inlay just like the one you had. But instead of pulling it out I want it to stay in the wood, then sand it down so it’s flush. What do you think about that? Could you make a video?

  • @MaxSMoke777
    @MaxSMoke777 3 роки тому

    Worth noting that Copper Sulfate can give a nice patina, it's dirt cheap, and should be flushable. You can buy it for cleaning roots out of pipes or algae from pools. It's a plant killer (hence using it to remove roots from pipes) but fine for sewage/septic tanks. Plumping supply stores and pool suppliers sell it by the pound.

  • @dustyoldroad

    It looks like the mold can be used more than one time?! So the powder and heat do not deteriorate the mold?

    • @SomeUncomm
      @SomeUncomm 3 роки тому

      The mold can definitely be used more than once! You'd think the heat would break down the glue in the chipboard, but apparently it is able to withstand quite a bit. For basic molds, I've been able to reuse them up to probably 10 times, but that's normally because I make some iteration and start over with a new set. So it's hard to say exactly how long they last. That said, if the mold is deep and contains thin lines of material, it's easier for the cast to pull bits of it out when you demold it. For me personally, if the detail is very thin, I'll try to keep it around .5mm deep, or less. The thicker the detail, the deeper you can go.
