      The only thing I didn't get was silver. I was thinking there were like two different kinds of steel. It looks like the steel that's used is fairly high carbon, but I'm not experienced enough to know for sure.

    I had a project idea for TKOR: a vacuum casting setup. Be able to 3D print things and cast them in metal without all the mini air pockets you get when you normally cast aluminum. No clue how difficult they are to make, I can't imagine it being much harder than a vacuum chamber lol

    You could also just use @ 1:35 you could also use 8" nails and just put a 1" collar under the head so it only goes 7" down. You coule use something as simple as tape to make the collar. That way they're easier to take out than the countersunk ones.

It’s a heartbreaking loss that still exists. This guy has out of anyone given the most grant worthy content since the passing of grant to date. The flow, the quick, his voice, the style. It flows and speaks of reincarnation of grant and it brings tears to me eyes. Thank you new gentlemen for doing this beautiful thing. I really hope you continue and hopefully more and more support will notice.

    This could save a lot of time for basically melting or reshaping metal but maybe block the back but also have small air hole so not a lot of heat escape but since your using propane or gas based heating that wouldn't be much of an issue i guess😅

Then again I don't have any personal experience with forged silver. Either way awesome and amazing video and I can't wait for what's next.
