First attempt at casting aluminum. Next casting video (if there is one) will have proper male/female dies.

Thanks for watching
what?! love it!!
hi been watching you for years. Your my favorite youtuber currently. So glad others mention you in their videos. Can you do a video on
@@MichaelMantion Holy cliffhanger batman.
Hm, there was no cliffhanger, he just asked for a
Robert Haáb CZcams must be censoring these comments. Don't know why they wouldn't let you talk about a
@Maybe, maybe not. Username relevent.
Best use of diamond plate I've ever seen
Now I know how to get that perfect 'stack of dimes' look on my welds!
Ron Covell hi Ron ;)
Lol. Yeah then just glue it on!
Maybe it’s just me but knowing Mr Covell watches your videos has to be an honor
Still saving for Your chopper build series Mr.Covell. I haven't worked for two years to care for My Mother full time but I'm saving penny's and dimes and will own Your video set. It broke My heart to miss Your visit to Minnesota (I live 10 minutes from where You were) but Mom was not doing well when You were here last year. I'm guessing the "Class" was great. Take care.
I once used a TIG to make a rod of steel red hot so that I could bend it as I do not have oxy-ace - but this is another level
I've used my TIG machine at work to test some 400watt HID high bay light bulbs. *shrug* If it works...
I do the same all the time, the bending that is, not the hid bulb thing. Argon is cheaper than acetylene in my town
Some People use mostly the right side of the brain, some people the right one... You use them both in every video!!! You are the Messi of the welding techniques
You mean most people use the left hemisphere (rationality & order) and some people the right (creativity & the unknown). You might like "Hemispheres" by Rush ;)
I think he's using the top, bottom and the little-known dusty bits too!
@@grippimatt thumbs up for Rush reference
@@PixelSchnitzel I was thinking "The Cerebellum"? But yeah, there are a lot of odd corners in there, I suppose. Why shouldn't THEY have a turn? This seems like something that might have come up in a dream. It might be mentioned that a lot of molds are made of material that has lower thermal conductivity, like sand and plaster. Someone once told me that they had imagined molten metal being prepared for a small casting by shooting MIG wire into a crucible!!!
So THAT is ACTUALLY how you get your welds looking so awesome.. :-)
Welding CGI...
Nazim Malik this is amazing
You had me at homemade end mill.
He got me at tig
probably the first time i have ever subscribed to a Chanel that might be of useful
That's the strangest die cast aluminum I've ever seen. Very creative.
You’ve inspired me to start welding school. For that I am forever gracious
Duna about you but the haphazard shplat and then end result was MOST satisfying.
Setup at 350A was awesome!
I thought it was one of my old mates sharpening that drill!!!
Yeah my mates are good at dulling drill bits on the grinder.. No matter how many times i show them how to sharpen
Ok that was the neatest thing I’ve ever watched in my life
That's gonna work the duty cycle, lol!
Marvelous it's only apparent that you don't sleep wheels aways turning lol.
Great work as always man, I strive to emulate you. Keep it up.
Super cool it’s like a little arch furnace
Awesome, now I can finally scrap that smelting furnace!
Yes, and then spend a small fortune on tungsten.
You still manage to satisfy me with your vids even though the last few are very short.
I get the feeling that you are up to something big very soon....well I hope you are.😁
So this is how I make my stacks look immaculate. 🤔
Welcome To The Madness except you don’t have stacks nor make them.
Lol!!!!!!!! That is AWESOME, lol. That's got me laughing! Now that's how you get a perfect stack of welds every time! Wish I had that back in high school welding class. Love the videos!
Seem to recall a certain crazy uncle from up north doing some electrode assisted casting not too long ago. Nice work 👌
That's wild bro. Never would have thought of that
That was awesome! gatta try it.
Hahahahaha!!! You have some wacked up sense of humor! I approve.
How the hell did you think of this?? This is so brilliantly funny! LMAO!
Oh, it's the old "Use your TIG welder as a DIY Arc Furnace to pour a perfect casting in a custom mold made with a profiled endmill hand-ground from an old drill bit" trick. Like I haven't seen that a million times . . .
I was not expecting that. Very cool.
This would make a cool fishing lure
That is Art my friend.. congratulations!
I would had never thought of doing that!! Awesome!
Now i can make glue on weldbeads to make up my work. Thank you.
That was actually pretty cool.
You definitely think outside of the box Sir.. Made me laugh on this one.
So, why does metal that's molten through welding need sheilding gas, but metal that's molten during casting doesn't need shielding gas?
You never disappoint man, you Crack me up !
I swear some guys actually do this on Instagram weld pages 😂😂
This is how a passed Welding & Metal Fabrication at Dunwoody.
You know you're an ally boss when even your cuts on a mill look like a stack of dimes😂😯
I didn’t know you could melt aluminum like that with a welder!
Hmm... If you give the endmill more of a round grind so you get more like a stack of half balls, then make two of those and weld them together. Could look rather interesting I think 😁
And sorry for my bad English
You're an artist for sure, but what is that thing you're using that just melts metal like chocolate??
Now I can finally make perfect welds!
Epoxy that stack of aluminum dimes to steel plate and blow everyone's mind.
Next step, weld a bead around the outside...😁
damn, just JB weld that bad boy on what you're working on and make it look like you're stacking dimes
may I ask how much AMP you used to melt the aluminium? ^^
Nice work
You do some of the greatest crazy shit I have ever seen. Keep up the great work. I love it.
another slow day the shop :)
TIG furnace... that's a first one on CZcams :))
I love your channel, and i love you! (no homo)
woooow you are best welder in the wourld
aluminum can explode on a cold surface! if anyone tries this on something bigger, PREHEAT THE CAST!
steam from moisture causes the explosion and that's a a real problem in humid climates, not so much in the desert.
Awesome content. Keep them coming.
You sir, are THE BALLS!!!!!!!
Amazing 👌👌
You are a Genius 👍
Wow, neat job.
This did make some inspiration. Thank you
Mind blown!
Yet another cool idea. What are You going to use a casting like that for ? Neat. EDIT: Sorry, just saw Your possibility's post of keychains and bottle opener's maybe. Again, neat.
SO, we've reached a limit here, where it's ALL BEAD, and no base metal! This might have looked a little less crazy if there was a CRUCIBLE to hold the metal, little graphite shot-glass looking thing. They are easy to buy, they conduct electricity, and arc-melting is not unknown....
Now that's just being silly. Awesome inverted 'weld' there, hee hee.
Epoxy that onto the joint, presto ...😂😂😂😂😂🍻🍻👍
Very smart, love it. So when are they available in your merch store?
Hey dumb question if I put an 1/8th Tungsten in a stinger at lower amps can I do this or do u need that AC to get it hot enough and not blow a hole through everything?
Crazy. Thank you
Pretty cool
how much does it cost to fire that thing on 350A /s ??? (Sascha is asking)
what was that furnace made of that it didn't melt away as well...?
I love your videos, especially lately you seem to have been influenced by howtobasic.
Such nice table
Will you ever make a tig button for a Vulcan protig 200? I have a rotary but I don't like it I think I would like that button. Thanks
Love it!
I would love to have that on my key chain.........
Subscribed! Thank you for the awesomeness.
Step 1.cast aluminum welds.
2. Glue them to a piece of aluminum plate
3. Take pictures and put on instagram
4. Enjoy your #weldporn.
That's so cool!
Very cool 👍
I learned several things.
That's cool.
For 350A on aluminum what size electrode do you use? At 220A, my water cooled 1/8" 2% lathinated electrode was starting to disintegrate.
You are a master. BTW what are the specs of that TIG machine? could that be done with a low cost TIG machine?
Dude, you are wild!
You should Mill 6061.com into the top!
One way to test the duty cycle of your machine
At 0:44, I was "whaaaa?". At 1:12, I was "NO WAY!". At 1:30, I was "ROFLMAO!!!"
TIG graphite electric arc furnace when? i bet you could actually just replace the damn tungsten with graphite from a pencil for this little gig, could CO2 work as shielding gas in that case?
this really dazzled me, being an avid metal caster.
Must have been 3003 diamond plate?
This is currently the only way I could make a tig weld
Freaking Genius! And so simple!
Please for the love of god make an aluminum guitar
How do you keep the main large puddle from solidifying?
im new to this and curious of how you get the excess of the sides of the piece
Grinder or belt sander will do the trick
That was cool
All you need is a bunch of these in different sizes and curvatures and some glue and anyone can have beautiful welds😂😂😂
10 hertz and 350 amps will give you the same shizzle my dizzle,whats the bigest bead width you can run on that Dynasty ? haha nice casting man
What the hell?! 😂
Well that was epic
OMG!!! BRILLIANT!!!
