    Nice work brother. The polish job really makes the skull pop. I'm just starting, but have printed some models I'd like to cast. This video helped me make a decision to try sand casting first before buying a vacuum casting machine and kiln.

    Very cool! I have an idea, that would make it pop.
    If you etched it, so that it was all covered in black, then polished it again, wow, it would look very cool too, because the lines would be very visible!

    Thank you for this video, I love seeing your process! Did you cut the wax ring in half to avoid the molten silver cooling before the entire cast is filled? As in, making two separate parts to ensure that the silver fills each mold fully? I really wanna try sand casting myself and this is super helpful!

    • @thatoradebe_trj
      @thatoradebe_trj  3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much for the comment, it is much appreciated. That is partly the reason for cutting the wax in half. The main reason is because in order to sand cast you need the 2 sand rings to be separated to remove the wax. If I were to make the entire ring and then separate the rings, the mold would break apart due to the shank (the part where your finger goes through) breaking through the sand

    Excellent job! I've been polishing pieces with a Dremel and it takes forever and it's difficult. What type of polishing machine did you use? Also, is there a certain "spec" as to the polishing wheel you used? Thanks.

    • @thatoradebe_trj
      @thatoradebe_trj  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. The polishing machine is a standard polishing machine which I got at a place called goldsmith and jewellery supplies in Johannesburg, South Africa. I don't know what the brand is.
      I use a "hard" and a "soft" polishing mop. And I use a compound called "unipol"
      I hope that helps

      If I put a curb ring on a steel cylinder tube and print it down on the sand for the actual imprint
      Then replace the steel cylinder with one made of sand and place that in the print
