This is revenge for Cyote Peterson. Bronzing a Giant Water Bug aka. The Toe Bitter! It’s the same process as lost wax casting but in this case it’s lost bug casting.
I told my little cousins to go catch me a praying mantis at the end of the video but it cut off for some reason. But I think that would be a super cool bronze.
I don’t know what happened, but the end of the video glitched and skipped the part where I thanked the boys. I didn’t bring my computer to Thailand so I can’t fix it.
I know girls are supposed to say eeww to bugs. And although he does look creepy, I am so interested in bug life. I love to find out what their super powers are. So this one was very cool. In my excellent opinion, anyway!
I actually told my cousins to go find me a praying mantis at the end of the video but it’s cut off for some reason. But I think a praying mantis would be awesome.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios I agree, insect look amazing in bronze. I have few suggestions to earn some $. Cast coins, belt buckles and other easier objects. It would be amazing to see you do Corinthian helm 1:1 scale one day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinthian_helmet Much larger but it could also be great in smaller scale as a paper weight. Also I would suggest getting something like 3DMakerpro Seal Lite to print in resin and cast. You would get more consistent models.
I made a few videos on how I do that. Here is the current one I am using. DIY Vacuum Casting Set-up/Build, Modified. czcams.com/video/hPV5ZO59FfQ/video.html
@@dcmotive I don’t drive enough sales to get a pay out from Amazon so don’t buy it on my account but here is the link to the one I use. Turns out it’s an 8 kg. www.amazon.com/dp/B0757X33KT/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_2R49N8EY1QBP985TV1FV?linkCode=ml2&tag=lundgrenbronz-20
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Thanks. It looks similar to an alloy i saw earlier, but was much more goldish-color. I would remmond You to try that: 95% copper, 5% aluminum
Dang it! Your right. I’m over seas and I can’t fix it right now. It would be either I delete the whole thing and re release it in 3 weeks ore leave it the way it is.
The bite of the giant water bug is really infamous. Great cast!
you can chisel off the flashing with a sharp little chisel and hammer right at the base of the flashing, works a charm!
That’s a good idea!
I love this cast. Thanks!
Great work! I'd like to see you do a praying mantis. Or maybe a tarantula. Can you do a fish?

So cool! The boys were hoping this one could come out soon! They just caught another toe biter in the net while smelting the other day.

I was hoping this was not native to anywhere I’ve been 😖
@@lundgrenbronzestudios bummer. They thought it was cool to see something they caught turned to bronze.
Awesome project

Thanks for watching!
Clean up requires such patience ... excellent job!
Thank you!
Very nice!
Bro, you are getting better every time. Cast some other bigger insects like big scorpions and auction them off pls. Waiting for the next video.

Unfun fact: the toe biter has the most painful bite of any insect
Ouch!
Good work, man
great job
I opened a channel for similar content in Arabic. Thank you. You are a creative and inspiring person❤
Do you also cast insects?
@@lundgrenbronzestudios
no I sculpt wax molds I still have a long way to go before becoming like you I wish you more success and brilliance
Nice!👏👏👏👍👍👍
Does the flashing happen in part because you cant vacuum the investment during the pour process? Or at least is that a large contributing factor?
No I messed the mixture possibly or I rushed the burn out too much. Those are likely reasons for the flashing.
Wauw, so cool,
Just a novice here. I recently got a half decent vacuum pump and im wondering how you set up your chamber?
I made a few videos on how I do that. Here is the current one I am using.

Hard to find crucibles that large. Where did you get that one? what size is it?
I got it on Amazon. I believe it is a 6kg.

Very cool, and skillful.
Do you cast requests?
I have a list of global political leaders that would make excellent live casts 😂👍
I do some suggestions sometimes.
Nice pour, bwhat is they investment, plaster?
Yes it’s ultra vest investment from Rio grande jewelry supply.
Snow? Where do you live? Montana? Or some old video.
I live in Minnesota. But it was filmed. Several weeks ago.
Hi! What metals have You used to create this alloy?
This was silicon bronze.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Thanks. It looks similar to an alloy i saw earlier, but was much more goldish-color. I would remmond You to try that: 95% copper, 5% aluminum
@@danieldombai7267 it’s a good color but not quite as good at capturing detail.
красава бро!
Can You cast one of your nephew in bronze
Probably not a good idea.
Your video gets cut off at the end :/
yeah, i also wanted more :(
Dang it! Your right. I’m over seas and I can’t fix it right now. It would be either I delete the whole thing and re release it in 3 weeks ore leave it the way it is.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios then just leave it for now. which direction did you go? europe?
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Fix when you get back, delete, and fire it up again. How are you liking Thailand, the big island?
@@mevk1 absolutely love Thailand. It’s a fantastic place. It’s incredibly hot now though. Hottest month of the year.
Bitters are added to drinks to enhance the flavor. Biters take chunks out of your toes. Also, your video gets cut short at the end.
Very nice, though!
Dang it! Your right! I’ve never had a video cut off like that. I’m over seas now and won’t be able to fix it for several weeks. Shoot!
