Hey my friend! I’d like to let you know one thing on patina : google “Ancient Greek Sculptures Were Once Brightly Coloured and Patterned” because I can’t really put a link here for whatever the reason my message gets deleted. This must Be your best one to date. But it would be nice if you use bronze as it was intended like gold and patina only the hair parts with a brush maybe. Keep up the great work! You really are becoming a master in that. Also I want to advice you to try hammering in some bronze some holes you left in a bronze from air instead of re casting and maybe try making some pieces that consist of many and then hammer them together with minimal use of solder. If you want try also reading the “The development and formation of soldering technique on the bronze ritual vessel casting of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties” in google scholar .
Those came out Amazing!!! I can't wait until my mold making skills are as good as yours!... Well done my friend, I'm very impressed!!! Melt Happy...😉!😋
The time varies a lot. But it takes a few hours to do the clay work for the mold. And then the waiting for the silicone to cure. Several more hours of wax chasing depending on the quality of the mold and the wax pour. Then the casting process and several more hours for the metal chasing. All in all a lot of hours but it can be done in chunks.
Brilliant, glad I didn't have to wait long to see the finish, looks amazing, looking forward to your next one, a friend suggested wet newspaper to create a seal, maybe worth a try instead of the wet silicone.
Wow, those pieces are awesome. The details and the perfect fitting. I am going to spend hundreds of bucks in casting equipment and it is all your fault hahahahahahaha. I have been thinking about the vacuum pump that you are using for the vaccum casting. As you said, those kind of pumps don't withstand easely high temps so i am going to start by using a manual pump but i thougth it might be posible to cool down de pumped air using a heat exchanger. The viability of this idea depends completely on the volume of air pumped per second and the preasure loos caused by the exchanger. IDk, just a sleeples idea. Again, great work. I love this channel, your proyects and the results. Keep up the good work and I hope you continue growing as a channel as fast as imaginable.
You can build vacuum reservoirs to hold a substantial amount of vacuum. You pull a vacuum in one (or an array) and then shut the vacuum pump down and close it off from the reservoir. Then you can use the vacuum in the reservoir for a casting. Air tanks can be used for that purpose.

So cool! I'm glad your vacuum chamber is working so well
Cool really cool. You've made insane progress.
You creations and processe are Really helpful for me as I am new to casting. Keep up the good work.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SO BEUTIFUL
The door has opened and the sky is your limit. Great to see the fruits of all your labor, ey hoser?
That is so cool! Best one yet! That would look great sitting on a desk.
great project well done on all that chasing!
That turned out GREAT!!
It's absolutely the best I've ever seen
Awesome work!
Badass Lucas
Nice job.

What he said!! ... Pour Safe!!!😎😁
Coolest casting yet!
Amazing Dude
Hey Lucas, I'm thinking about starting my own journey with small sized bronze sculptures like yours, how long does it generally take?
The time varies a lot. But it takes a few hours to do the clay work for the mold. And then the waiting for the silicone to cure. Several more hours of wax chasing depending on the quality of the mold and the wax pour. Then the casting process and several more hours for the metal chasing. All in all a lot of hours but it can be done in chunks.
Very nice!
So cool!!
Man oh man! This is the best casting to date! Skulls are so very cool to begin with, and to have one cast in bronze ... fantastic! Well done, Lucas! 👍
2:03 - So that is how it's done. Innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnteresting!
Yep! That’s how it’s done.
Brilliant, glad I didn't have to wait long to see the finish, looks amazing, looking forward to your next one, a friend suggested wet newspaper to create a seal, maybe worth a try instead of the wet silicone.
Super cool! Glad to see that vacuum chamber is working out so well.
Your best casting so far. I can't wait for the next one.

That slomo was perfect!
