    What a cool technique! I have seen broom casting, but not ever bean casting. The shapes of the metal over the beans is really wild. And melting metal is also fun, especially when it's done on purpose.

    I really liked this one. Especially the two peice with movement. I would love to see a bracelet done. Thanks for your enthusiasm and genuine spirit of sharing.

      Free-form casting is fun. I'll do a broom casting video sometime too. Thanks for the nice comment Bruce!

    That was fun, I enjoyed the field trip outside. So, I have done quite a bit of broom casting, and even rock salt casting, but that’s the first time I’ve heard of using beans. What a great idea. Now that Rio has increased the minimum amount of scrap they will accept, it’s always a good idea to have an alternate plan. The necklace turned out nice, and is quite unique. Now I’m off to try and comfort my dog. The yahoo neighbor has been shooting off fireworks, even though it is illegal within the city limits. Causes terrible anxiety and panic for my dog. Yay, Happy 4th of July.

      I was sure everyone had done this before:). Our animals are also freaked out tonight. Thanks Van!

    Very cool. I luv the texture & visual appeal of each poured nugget.
    Would definitely be up for a video of a bracelet as you suggested and/or a ring.
    Great video.

      Hehe. it would probably smell like when you burn coffee on the bottom of the pot:)

    Thanks for this demo. I was thinking of trying it but so nice to see the process in action! As usual very informative video. TY!

    Really enjoyed that Chad. I've always been a bit nervous about casting up to now and not sure that it was my thing but you've made me want to try it. Thank you!

    Love how the pendant turned out! Casting with the dried beans is a neat technique. So far I've only experimented with water casting which was fun and I did get some great results. I've seen it done with spaghetti noodles and fusilli pasta too resulting in some pretty cool shapes. Thank you for sharing!

    • @chadssilversmithing

      Thank you Rochelle! These ones almost always turn out well. I need to experiment more with water casting.

    How fun! I've done the broom casting, and water casting (usually just looks like casting grain 😅). I had a thought about soldering on components like the bezel; I think that soldering clay would be a great tool for setups. As always, enjoyed! 🌺🌺🌺

    I've not done the bean or broom casting, but I plan to eventually... I have done the water casting, and it's fun... So, give it a try sometime, I think you'll enjoy it. 😊
    The pendant turned out really nice... The subtle sparkle of the morganite suits it quite well.

    Try putting them in a cylinder with water donut with pine needles in water pretty interesting shaped I like the idea of being because it creates cavities were you could put stones in them and I have a question if you could help me with overlay jewelry like the whole peas did

    • @chadssilversmithing
      @chadssilversmithing  Рік тому

      I like how the cavities create good spots to add stones as well. Thanks for the comment Jake!

    You do great work, but please get a microphone that will pick up your voice better. Very hard to hear you at full volume on my Android phone..

      @chadssilversmithing  Рік тому

      Thank you. Unfortunately I'm not able to do that right now. I further adjusted the mic on the one I just shot to hopefully better pick up my mumbling:)

    I'm not that confident with my soldering I use yellow okra

    • @chadssilversmithing
      @chadssilversmithing  Рік тому

      Yellow Ochre is a good way to prevent solder flow, and many use this technique:)
