I had no idea you could get a PhD in metal working, I would have thought it was a trade-track profession. Is it an art degree or something people would get for more general purposes as well?
Thanks a lot, I've done much silver brazing and understand the requirement of flux, but had not considered the idea of a reducing flame to cast, which is what I would like to do, lots of good tips and great set up
Really amazing, I have some pure silver beads that have a bad surface because of oxidizing, how I can melt them again to get a shiny silver without oxidized surface?
🤔How does this compare to a small eclectic melting furnace? I bought the 1kg Tilt-Pour Electro-Melt Furnace last month from Pepe Tools and have yet to do any silver casting but plan to. as I currently understand, the furnace will create a near-free oxygen environment...and I can pore it like a jug of water into a mold minimizing exposure to air.
I love this! I earned a Master's degree in metalsmithing/jewelry and as soon as I finish my doctorate I'll be smiting metal again.

The best and simplest tutorial ever!
That looks amazing! Great tutorial too. Im going to try cut a crucible. Thank you
Excellent advice and well presented. Thanks!
Very cool explanation!! Im just starting to learn about pouring and this certainly helps with quality of final product!!
OK Jim, I can tell you've been watching Clickspring. Welcome to the club.... Nicely done.
Thanks James, is that Craig Dabler's pouring set up?

Great video - does it matter when you add the flux? e.g can you add it a the time of placing the grain in the crucible?
Good demonstration

Would anybody know what is the brand name of the torch Mr. Binnion is using in the video?
This interesting!!! But my question is i couldn't melt nickel chrome alloy to liquid using oxyacetyelene flame. What do you suggest me??
really good!
What to do if the silver already has absorbed enough oxygen to be a problem?
Use borax too extract waste
Nice
I THINK ITS HOT BUD!
Borax
