Beautiful work, does not look bad. The blowholes are difficult to prevent with the type of brass casting. We still did many of these steps ourselves in the apprenticeship. Result can be seen. Greetings from Germany.
You need to press the sand down with more force. The first layer on your workpiece should be pressed with your fingers. All the layers above should be pressed with a tool. Then you need to make holes in the sand to prevent steamexplosions. Regards 👍
Very nice. I love the idea... Really cool.... Feels more like an art piece to me, rather than something I would use. Hang it on the wall with the best side out, and just love it.... Really neat piece...
Functional? Pouring 1800 degree (Frankenstein) bronze onto the steel ruined the heat treatment he did to it earlier. That blade is pretty, but it’s a wall-hanger.
Simply gorgeous. While I know it is largely decorative, watching you cast the brass made me wonder how the heat of the brass would affect the hardness of the steel.
@@HvV8446 That's part of what has me curious. Brass melts at something like 1700*F. As I understand it, chopping blades are usually tempered to around 450*F. Pouring 1700*F brass into the mold would likely cause the steel to heat to a level that, once cooled slowly in the mold, would essentially just anneal the steel.
@@davidkbailey yeah, i dont know how else he can do that, its the only thing i can think of. But then again, it was only pine. I bet that if he used it on hardwood it will have dents in it in no time. Btw, im european, therefore i prefer the (easier) method of measuring temperature with celcius 🙂, only when its -40 i dont care anymore
@@HvV8446 Yeah, sorry about the Fahrenheit. My blacksmithing books don't even include metric equivalents. For length and volume, I can work pretty well in both metric and US Customary. I have never been able to get my head around Celsius, though. Who knows why. . .
Looks good. But from a mechanical point of view, it will fail. Brass is a soft, ductile metal. With every impact, the brass will compress a little and eventually the dovetail will loosen. The hatchet will then break apart. Still a very good looking hatchet.
Beautiful axe! How deep are the pits on the right side of the head? And looking back, do you think packing the sand would have made a difference in avoiding the pits? Thanks for the video! It's always nice when someone has a vision of something and then goes ahead to complete it! Very nice, functional art piece!
@@wolfgangornig3556 Of course! However, there ARE examples of castings like this that are excelent! Just because the tech is old, doesn't make it bad! After all, most of the items made today that are machinery parts are cast steel, of one type or another! However, there are newer technologies that are making even that, obsolete!
The pits seem to be where the melted brass was surrounded on three sides by cold steel. I suspect the brass cooled rapidly in those pits and shrunk when it hardened. I could be wrong about the shrinking but two vents in those precise places might have prevented it. I bet there's a fair amount of trial-and-error in production casting to sort out these types of issues.
awesome video ur inspiring me Thank you soooo much im from indonesia new subs I wish I had the knowledge to enable me to create things like this, amazing.
Absolutely f'ing gorgeous. Something a Viking off a Molly Hatchett album cover should be wielding. Imperfections from the pour actually complete its badassery. I generally like voice-overs on project videos, but you have achieved the art of non-verbal demonstration that only few here seem to be capable of. Keep up the good work.
I don't know what is more beautiful the final result or the fact that it was made entirely by scraps such a great job!!

Very cool idea pouring the molten metal into a mould attached to the actual blade piece itself to ensure that they fit together perfectly.
actually, this is a problem in his build. doing that basically undid the quench he did earlier,.

Me, too, but the edge seems to hold up ok whacking on the pine.
Well, he didnt temper the steel (at least not on video), to i think he relied on the brass to temper the edge

Compacting the sand more will help your brass pours out more next time.
Still turned out beautiful though...
What a handsome piece.
Looks amazing that little bit of pitting in the gold part was driving me crazy though almost perfect. Well done very awsome

@@Biden_is_demented From a mechanical point of view, they all fail eventually. But yeah, it will fail sooner, and probably in the way described.

Very beautiful and unique...I am curious about how the molten brass affected the heat treatment on the bit...but still beautiful!
That'll be why he didn't temper it, let the brass bring it down from glass hard to a useable level. Instead of a traditional oven or torch temper
You are a outstanding bladesmith. Let's say thank you to youtube that thanks to it 😘😁👍
This is looking very amazing
Hah! Cool!
The gas bubbles all come from the water in the plaster.
It needs to be ultra dry (and thin)
You could put it in an oven to remove the water
Nice job, i should make one of them too
Beautiful work… beard… well it will get there someday 😏
