I love that u can understand everything he says. Most people that do these videos either talk too low or u can't understand them. He also knows what he is talking about. I just found him looking for silicone mold making. I finally found someone who knows what he is talking about. Thanks Robert
I don’t quite know how I got down this rabbit hole but this guy is my new favourite human. He’s so fun to watch. If there was a job opening in a shop with this guy I’d be there!!!! What a joy it was to watch this whole process.
I just love the passion! ...................... You may be up at 2.30AM making moulds, doesn't stop me from being up at 3.00AM watching you! ; ) Actually, that's when I do my best work, in the middle of the night! TURK
Really enjoyed this video. Trying to learn how to make a mold to recreate the ring posts for a 1986 WWF LJN Wrestling Superstars Bendies Cage Match Challenge Ring for a friend and this was just so incredibly informative. Really appreciate the attention to detail.
Just watching one of your videos has given me a large book of information. Your ability to show why and why not to do a particular step, and show it clearly, is a gift. Thank you for your patience, interest, and time.
Hey good morning, super grateful for your videos Rob! Find myself constantly referring back to them as a bit of a base source for moulding and mould making! Have a good day !
Robert, part one of the mold making was amazing! You can think out of the box when it comes to each project. I loved how you handled my project. I’m pretty meticulous when it comes to my model work and I can see from the video, you are as well. Thank you for the care and determination you show on each project you do. I can’t wait to see part two!
I've made dozens of molds and watched probably hundreds of molding/casting videos. I feel like this video has addressed most of the issues I have encountered. Love the channel, looks like I have a lot more videos to watch. Thank you!
Robert, you are so adorable and knowledgeable, like a very sweet grandpa. Loved the video and very informative. Probably the only UA-cam channel that I was happy to see a commercial come up! You deserve the revenue for your content
Que bonito ver esa preciosa energia en tu mirada. Me encanta ver personas de tu edad y con un gran canal. Maravilloso!! How nice to see that precious energy in your eyes. I love seeing people your age and with a great channel. Marvelous!!
I'm Astonished about what you did there, A really nice job! I'm actually trying to figure out how to mold a piece from my car that is reducing into bits due to it's old age and buying a new one is costly and wouldn't be resist enough if it's the same material. But with your video I might found the solution on how to proceed and that could be really awesome. Cheers
Thanks for posting such detailed vids. Really helpful. So, you know when you said "this I the most important step" well, my two mold halfs bonded last night. :( sad morning. Either I used the wrong stuff or didn't use enough. Thanks for sharing your material list.
Your videos are yet another reason I like Fridays! I’m curious to see how long the “hardest project” title will last. Thanks for all the knowledge you share.
Pretty sure the next project in line is going to replace it. Actually, the next four projects in line are all miserably hard to mold. Who’s idea was this anyway? 😳😃😃
This is some hardcore mold casting. I was listening to a spotify playlist containing the epic movie score "Once Upon a Time in the West" composed by Ennio Morricone, from the 1968 western film of the same name, while you were taking apart the second part of the cast. And when I saw how the mold came out... Forget about it! Epic moment :) Great content!
Robert, you are that dude! I love the way you broke it down to explain how each part was going to fit. I am your fan now!!..lol. Personality to go with your presentation... Awesome!! I will be subscribing to your channel. God bless you brother, and keep the videos coming.
Wow. I am learning so much. I am working on some very small bookshelves and I thought I needed to figure out how to make them with an open-back mold but this kind of mold will be actually be easier as far as clean up goes. Loving these videos.
Robert, I was at a production prototype shop years ago and they used the cut mold method as well. A couple of different methods they used could be interesting to you. 1. They used clear silicone so that they could see the pattern as they cut it out. 2. They used much thicker boarder walls to support the mold haves. This allowed them to use packing tape to join the molds before the pour. Some of their molds were the size of a small refrigerator. 3. To locate a perfect parting line on flat faces: They used 3M Scotch tape. They'd place the tape on the flat edge and have a good 1/4 inch flare sticking out into the cut area. They'd mark the tape flare with a black Sharpie so it could be seen in the clear silicone. The silicone doesn't stick to the tape so at that point you will get a flash, but you'll have a perfectly placed parting line. This trick does change the shape of the pattern by the thickness of the tape, which is about .0015 inches, so it is not a concern to most customers.
Hi Robert, love your videos! Have you ever try a mold box with LEGO? I found FANTASTIC! There are some UA-cam videos from makers doing this. You must try. Thank you for sharing so much information about casting.
You present your topics in a very clear concise manner, "just the facts" so to speak. You're an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! (subscribed 1/2 way through the first of your videos I watched.)
How absolutely fascinating!!!! I had no idea there was such a long and complex process to make a 2 piece mold!! I thought I could just make a whole complete mold, cut it in half, and it would work (spoiler alert: it didn't. I'm still trying to scrape hardened clay out of my microwave oven. This is what I get for trying to make a silicone rubber mold with no experience, all because autism demands equality in things I make and I would probably lose my mind trying to sculpt 4 paws by hand and get them all looking the same, haha. The clay leaked because the silicone mold deformed from the rubber bands and I didn't noticed until too late)
Hi , awesome video. I would like to make an induction manifold using silicone rubber to form the complex bends. What I had in mind was to make 6 silicone rubber sausages at 18 inches (457mm) long and 1.29921 inches (33mm) diameter with a heavy gauge fencing wire in the centre so that when removed from the tubing and adapted to fit the manifold it will retain the curves and bends required ready for the fibre glass split mold. The second part I’m guessing is to remove the silicone rubber from the split mold and reassemble and fill with Liquid Metal then remove the split mold and layer up with carbon fibre and then after curing melt the liquid metal out of the carbon fibre. Would love to see this process and of course would love any changes and input. Regards Noel
First video I've watched a video of yours, subscribed about quarter of the way through. I like the way you work and the mentality behind your choices of how/why you do things. Enjoyable to watch also.
I will say though it would have been really nice to see at the end of the video what you did with casting so we can see the comparison between the model part and the made part. Is what it is for a video 3 years ago. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos. I also look forward to learning some of your subtle mold making lingo and verbiage.
Quick edit, it looks like I am being prompted to watch another video where I can see what I just commented on wanting to see. Cheers to you sir I look forward to future videos.
I love love love this channel, I'm just here waiting for you to blow up to be as big as any of the craft youtubers. It's impressive the amount of quality you already have in sound recording, multiple cameras, visuals, lighting, editing, and not to mention craft skill. The quality here is of a 100k+ channel and I was surprised to see you at only 2.7k. I do have a project I'm curious on what your approach would be, but I'll think about sending that into you some other time.
Thanks so much for your comment! I put a ridiculous amount of time each week into my videos but it’s a lot of fun and the viewers make it all worthwhile. Looking forward to seeing your project; I really want the viewers to drive the content of this channel. You guys come up with challenges that I could never invent for myself!
What takes 30 + minutes videos seem like 5 minutes. The time just goes so fast and on to another ... no wonder I get nothing done all day 😂 they’re just all so good!
Hello Robert, love watching your projects. Watched you before, but this time I was totally intrigued! I have a project I've been trying to solve and need some help. Only problem is I am working on a shoe sting bucket. Need your help.
Oh man Robert, you are literally molding my mind with your priceless knowledge. Fantastic execution in video in combination with your playful attitude. Normally I would think that 30 minutes (31:55!) is an eternity in youtube, but I was glued to the screen from start to finish. I keep my fingers crossed that you have a vase in your pipeline :) Anyways thank you for sharing so openly. My warmest greetings from Denmark.
MU Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. My mother is Swedish and my daughter lives there now. I have been to Copenhagen but have not had the opportunity to travel around in Denmark. I hope that us disease ridden Americans will be allowed travel back to Europe sometime soon!
Simple shapes huh? I'm going to be molding a replica lynx skull and it's by far the most complex thing I've ever done and needs to be very carefully done in four parts, so I'm hoping for the best. I love the simple friendly way you explain what you're doing :)
Skulls are very difficult. Coming up on the channel is casting a 5-inch skull scanned from a real Tyrannosaurus. I also will mold it in several pieces. I’d love to see how your lynx skull comes out!
That sounds exciting, I'm subscribed so I'll keep an eye out for that, I'll let you know how it goes, waiting for supplies is the worst when shops are closed.
Hi. How are you? I am from Saudi Arabia. I am very impressed with your work and learning from it I made a two-part silicon template, but I had a problem. As the wax model dried out, it became very clear where to fill. When I tried to get rid of excess wax, the shape didn't look good.
This video and others I saw yesterday have been valuable. I'm going to try my hand at casting a scenery piece with silicone rubber. I had imagined most of the process combined with some videos I'd seen years ago. But this was awesome. I appreciate your design on the autoclaves, I have an old dentistry autoclave which I will be using both for pressure and vacume, but I will have a max of 4 bar pressure due to the door seal design. Your oval shaped doors with internal plates is an amazing and easy way to negate that problem. I fact everything I've seen you do seems to be the easiest way imaginable, no doubt learned from years of experience. Thanks for the great videos.
Please feel free to ask questions and tell me about the problems you have with your projects. You guys help me to know what issues to focus on and that creates the content of my videos. Thanks.

THANK YOU! There is not much I subscribe to, but fellow, you earned my name on your list! Just what I was looking for! A renaissance man! Part scientist, part wizard, and mostly artist! I am not too sure what I have is doable? At 66 I am restoring a 1963 Rambler American 2 door wagon: one of 1800 Ugly Ducks made and 1 of 13 known to be left. As the stripped down body heads off to my Friend Bill Kandy for sand blasting and epoxy primer, I am looking to replace all the rubber on the car. Miraculously every single thing is available for this car EXCEPT ONE! The Vent window seals.... you know!, those little triangle windows in the front of the door that blow fresh air on your face? They are complex and are even "bonded" to a thin piece of sheet metal using what is obviously planned flashing. I am going to root around here and figure out how to send you one to give a look. Thanks for giving me some hope that even if it does not work as a project for you that i might wind up being able to do it myself. WELL DONE! Stay at it!
I found your channel today and instantly subscribed. I'm gonna start making my own molds for my epoxy/resin and THIS project was exactly what I needed to see. I'll just have to find all the components here in Belgium and I'm off 🤗 Thank you, sir, following. 🙌🏻

About 3" for the diameter. I want to make a round hand soap.
This is awesome. I have a few objects that I need to do in a similar way.
Thanks Dayna, glad this video was helpful. I will email you about your project asap. It was a lot of fun to do and I’m pleased with how well it came out.
Top content. You're the boss Robert!
Antonio Hombrebala Thanks Antonio! If I was really the boss I’d fire myself and send me home.
@@RobertTolone no Robert! Your knowledge your experience and the way you share them automatically and without discussion give you that title. Thank you R!
This is an awesome channel and you are awesome. I'm getting ready to make my own casts and watching you is very inspiring.
Stumbled on the channel and love it and your videos. What is “the pot” and what are those rectangular metal boxes behind you?
Great information, nice demonstration. Great work.
Thanks for watching Franz.
That's a great job!
It was a great lesson for me!
Thank you~!
Very interesting hobby and top presentation!!
I would like to make a copy of a Viton ring for a bread oven (nor available anymore). It should resist 250°C for hours. Any suggestions for making the mold and the materail for the replacement ring is very wellcome. Thanks
A high-temperature-tolerant platinum rubber should work fine.
Can you do a tutorial on the bees wax and the machine you use to "weld" the funnels and what not to the project?
I have not done a video just on beeswax but I frequently use it in my videos about making the molds. The wax tool is a Foredom wax carving pen.
