    Wow - I can't even find the words! I am a Nerdforge fan and thought I would meander over to your channel to see some cool aluminum pouring. I didn't realize how much work goes into casting a single metal piece. You are so skilled at SO MANY things! Sketching, wood(?) working, mold(?) making (so fascinating I watched that part four times), metal pouring, all the finishing work and all that sanding - my gawd the sanding you have to do! I am seriously impressed and fascinated. Thank you for introducing me to this art form!!! (my apologies for not using the correct terminology)

    Putting a vent hole in on the far side across from the sprue will help the melt spread throughout the mold. Speaking from experience as someone who tends to pack the sand too tightly. Nonetheless, excellent work!

Это пока тайна для нас, как и способ, которым оно будет нанесено! Ведь не бональная гравировка, правда? А страницы? Уж не тиснение ли по коже? Идея с книгой просто шедевр! Заслуживает продолжения! Что будет дальше? Гальваника? Инкрустация? Мы ждём!

    Ciao, prova a fare dei piccoli buchi con uno stuzzicadenti per permettere all'aria di scappare e migliorare il cast, sicuramente un elemento così sottile non è facile da fare, ma forse con un po di sfoghi per l'aria il flusso dell'alluminio sarebbe stato migliore! Buon lavoro!
