I'm 53. Graduated in 83. Anyway we had metal shop in those days in highschool. We learned how to cast things. We had a small foundry. Great video!!! Bought back fun memories. That's also where I got my interest in welding. Still doing it today for a living.😁😁
You should do a series where you do budget builds. Instead of using tool people might not have, or materials not available for them, you make something using low cost materials. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Dude! This is awesome! One day I will build a house and have a workshop just like I always wanted. It may seem odd, but for me, being able to make stuff is the feeling of power!
Fascinating! Really. I didn't know you could do casting like that at home. What talent you've got. Thanks for the video! Cheers, BH (P.S. at last video background music that isn't awful.)
I don't really comment on UA-cam but I really admire the high standard and effort you put in. I've seen aluminium castings on here but non take the time to sand the styrofoam. It was amazing to see what a difference it makes to your end product if you put in more effort. Great video, definitely subscribing. :£
Thank you a lot mate, really appreciated :) And yes the finish of the foam makes a huge difference on the casting, It always amaze me how much detail it can be transferred!
I am truly enjoying your videos on making aluminum castings. Got to figure out a way to make my own furnace to smelt in. I, though am more interested in making brass and bronze castings. Your videos are very instructional in how you are making your forms and then performing the castings. Thank you for providing so much information. Have a great day.
Thank you a lot!!! :) Brass, bronze and other copper alloy melt at much higher temperature than aluminum, consider to make a gas furnace and buy a nice graphite crucible to melt them :) Have fun!
Was planning on the gas furnace. Any suggestions on building one? And where is a good source for the crucible? Sorry for the questions, but you know how it is. You have to get the information somewhere. Thanks for any and all help you can provide.
The gas furnace I like the most are the one made by "Brian Oltrogge" and "myfordboy" here on UA-cam. For the crucible I have no idea since I never bought one, but I heard you need to heat cycle them before using because they are prone to cracking :)
That riser looks very nice. I bought myself a bow with an aluminum riser some years ago, but i disliked the weight, (a bit on the heavy side (as you mentioned), and went back to my old wood-riser bow. She is still the love of my life when i have to take a bow anywhere.
Hey Black Beard Projects, Good day to you. This DIY Takedown Bow Riser! Aluminum Casting turned out FANTASTIC! Thank you for sharing your time, great ideas, easy to follow instruction, and Super Creative Fun Videos. Take care, Wishing you the very Best, and I hope you have a great weekend. Peace & Joy. Back to more videos :P Liked & Shared :D
How to build your own riser: Step 1: Buy riser Step 2: realize you now have a riser which is of superior quality to anything you could make Step 3: go outside and enjoy shooting with your new riser
@@roxasparks To answer a question you asked 5 months ago, the wooden riser is better because it has attachment points for sights, stabilisers, pressure buttons etc. We also try to stay away from cast risers because they can have defects in them that make higher draw weights unsafe. No one wants their riser to crack mid shot.
Bradley Hinton don't use that as an excuse not to start. If you got the interest and a sound mind you can start making things, building the skills you'll need for larger projects
nice work bro... but i'm afraid i can't do that in my home because it's seem using complicated machine and also you have technic and skillfull that everyone just like me only adore your job....
Do the same thing for that diy knife. Shape a handle and push the blade into it before casting. Drill a few holes for more secure handle if you think you'd want it.
That is so cool! I love your casting videos! You should also try casting a playbutton, or maybe even the youtube rewind button! Great vid, Great channel, keep it up!
The same sand was used for the entire mold :) At the bottom is darker because I placed the sand I already used many times, the one on top was still new. Thank you :)
You're a really good builder, and that now looks sick as hell but if you look at the demo when u shot the bow, it was very weak, do u intend to just put it as decoration or actually use it? Either way, very nice job.
Thanks! :) I intend to use this, the string there was on the loose side so you are right not much power there! Hopefully tomorrow I will upload a quick comparison video between my old wooden recurve and the one I built with skis limbs on :)
Thank you my friend!! :) Yeah the aluminum one weight a ton more than the original. This way I don't have to work out shoulder at the gym, at least the left one xD
Pretty clever on the sand mold that way; most will pour from one end instead of the center like that. And before I could ask if you had a flap wheel for your grinder, you showed it off. Well done, indeed--now it's time for me to get my own furnace together...

That casting went so nicely it actually looked pretty cool as-is from the form. Thanks for sharing your beautiful workmanship
Yeah! Kinda post apocalyptic looks out of the mold :'D Thank you mate
amazing how well it turned out. i did some aluminium casting some 25+ years ago. this is a very good use of the technique.
I see you have constructed a new lightsabre. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful as the emperor has foreseen.
Nice! I envy people that have the time, money and equipment to make things like this. I love archery too, so I really like this project!

Will check out their videos. Will also let you know regarding the crucible. Might be a while, but only because money is tight for a retiree.
I understand :) Have a nice day!
great cast! that thing came out solid
Thanks!! :)
Fantastic job!
I love this guy, he makes cool stoff and gives my inspriration for my vids

Thank you sir! :) Yeah I prefer my wood riser too... It's fun to shoot a high draw bow from time to time, but not all the time :'D
You are a very cool creator and artist
ottimo risultato!
Grazie :)
good quality video you sir have gained a subscriber
Thanks man! :)
Great job man!!
Thanks!!! :)
the movie is awesome, the bow looked like a professional it can now as it has already turned into a reflector it can now make a compound bow to do :)
that's truly impressive!
Thanks my friend :D
That was crazy good! I loved the foundry.
Thanks man! :)

Wow. You don't get it at all, huh? Enjoy never making anything because someone else can make it better than you. Sounds like a great philosophy.
What makes the bought riser better than the one made?
How much would it Costa to build a resin one?

nicely done Bro, I really admire it.
Thank you bro :)
Haha, what a coincidence.. I was just working on a bow myself! :) Nice one!
Oh yeah! :) Looking forward to that video over to your channel mate :)

Great job buddy! Really like it :)
Thank you a lot :)
Do you sell these aluminum risers? 🙌 this rough, rustic, heavy type is wonderful in my opinion, the one in the video was amazing

wow. Cool casting and result.
Thank you!
that was really cool how you made a perfect replica in styrofoam then turned it into aluminum :)
Thanks mate! :)
@@BlackBeardProjects q
I still confused,
Are styrofoam disappear when touch melted aluminum?
@@c4t4phr4ct1 yes it's like plastic foam, it melts but since it's such a light material it seems to disappear
@@mynamefrank6567
I got it
looks great!
Thank you! :)
I love these projects! I wish I could do this kind of stuff but I have a few more years before I am old enough
Bradley Hinton don't use that as an excuse not to start. If you got the interest and a sound mind you can start making things, building the skills you'll need for larger projects
Bradley Hinton mate I'm 14 this year and already I make knifes,sword,axes like a pro don't worry just do it
Precisione e tecnica. Thumbs up!
Much appreciated ;)
What an amazing pour! Good job getting that so clean straight from the cast.
Thank you my friend! :)
Sharp Works
Now that is one of the coolest things I have seen! Nice work! ~Dawn
Thank you my friend!! :)
Your video is good, I like it
Nice job, really !
Thank you sir! :)
Very nice !!!!
Thanks!!
Complimenti ormai metto like appena apro il video perché so già che sarà un progetto fantastico. Continua così bro👍
Grazie mille Anton X :)
Black Beard Projects what is the name of thos song or melody?
molto bello, il bel contrasto alluminio e legno meritava qualche ripresa in primo piano ;)
beautifully done. I would expect Nothing less!!!!
Haha! Tanks brother :) :)
Dude!.. awesome
Thank you!! :)
Wow great video
nice work bro... but i'm afraid i can't do that in my home because it's seem using complicated machine and also you have technic and skillfull that everyone just like me only adore your job....
Thank you bro :) You can try aluminum casting!
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!! :D
Oh i see, very understandable... Thanks very much, have a great day!
Nice work
bro is one of my childhood vids
Wow, that's awesome😳
You're got some talent! Or really much Practice!!
Great work and a bullseye haha 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Haha! Thank you my friend :D Once in a while I have a lucky shot, but thanks to the magic of editing that's all you'll see xD
very very nice
Thank you! :)
That looks amazing!
Good job!
Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! Was that a blade made from an old hacksaw? If so, good job!
I'd like to make this myself, but I'm wondering where to find a riser to trace from...
very nice project very nice results
Thanks!! :)
Love it, I'm in!!
Thanks!! :) :) Glad to hear that
Man i like this
Thank you!
Amazing man,!
Thanks!!
what a fantastic casting, complimenti,what type of sand did you use?
Thank you! :) I use a specific oil bonded sand made for casting :)
What was the "sand" you used in the bottom of the mold ? Nice build :)
The same sand was used for the entire mold :) At the bottom is darker because I placed the sand I already used many times, the one on top was still new. Thank you :)
I noticed that your arrows porpoised in your test shots - is that a normal thing with recurves?
Very nice
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks! :D
you have a cool job
I own a 1967 Z cam Ben Person! I still shot and hunt with it. Carbon off the shelf with fingers
Cool.. Now make the limbs out of spring steel, polish it up and it will be the T-1000 bow!
I'll try again making steel limbs for sure one day :)
Very good
Thanks!
Great video, and a great result on the casting too. Thanks. Subscribed!
Thanks mate! Appreciated :)
how heavy the finished product of that aluminium riser?
and how much draw weight it can sustain?
Awesome, I really like, but, what do you add to the aluminum in the minute 3:57? It's like a white powder!
Roberto De Faria borax
Thank's friend :-)
I use Sodium Carbonate as degassing and "lite salt" (a mix of Potasium Cloride and Sodium Cloride) as flux :)
Wow, okay, I ask you why I plan to make my oven to melt aluminum, but before, I'm grabbing advice, now, that mix, exactly where aluminum helps?
Show de bola um belo trabalho
Thanks!
nice video!!!!!
Thanks!! :)
Plss subscribe my channel thank you
I will check out your vids, casting is fun
You're a really good builder, and that now looks sick as hell but if you look at the demo when u shot the bow, it was very weak, do u intend to just put it as decoration or actually use it? Either way, very nice job.
Thanks! :) I intend to use this, the string there was on the loose side so you are right not much power there! Hopefully tomorrow I will upload a quick comparison video between my old wooden recurve and the one I built with skis limbs on :)
The limbs make the power, the riser just holds them in place basically.
That came out awesome.
Thanks brother!
Pretty slick
impressive!!
Very Very Cool! Is there any weight difference either way?
Thank you my friend!! :) Yeah the aluminum one weight a ton more than the original. This way I don't have to work out shoulder at the gym, at least the left one xD
Very cool
Thanks!
That is sick how he did that with come core
Thanks man!
I don't know if aluminum is heavier or not, but I can't imagine there would be a huge difference in weight
Pretty clever on the sand mold that way; most will pour from one end instead of the center like that. And before I could ask if you had a flap wheel for your grinder, you showed it off. Well done, indeed--now it's time for me to get my own furnace together...
