I just don't got my own place to do it sence hurricane ida hopeing that's going to change soon if family just helps us get into a place is it expensive to start up or ?
We know what eyewear you use but not the 3d scanner ?? Why
This is the scanner I'm using czcams.com/video/sGQQ3lOmgmQ/video.html
Does anybody knows how some jewelers make glow in the dark pendants? Thanks
Plaster link? Am I blind?
Have been making jewelry for about 15 years... you pretty much summed my last decade and half in 16 minutes..
😁👍 I have been really trying to make videos that get straight to the point. 😅
Very nice, do you have the ring square up- tool. Where to buy ?
Was school worth it now that Google youtube teaches you more for free?
3d printing 15 years ago?? U sure?
They said making jewelry for 15 years, not 3d printing. I'm sure they are referring more to the lost wax casting part of things seeing that it's been done like this for a very long time.
What most people don't think of when watching these videos is the amount of cleaning you do prior to filming. Your entire workshop is spotless, and it makes for a much more enjoyable experience!! Great video Randy😄
Haha well thanks and oh yeah lots of cleaning. I'm about to go out there and do a full clean after doing this video so I can start on a new one. It's crazy how messy things get when working and on top of that recording a video
This video is THE standard for these types of videos. Excellent presentation & explanations. Great work! Thanks for your effort! 🤙✌️
I work in a dental lab and the similarities are always fun to watch. I do think the lab process and tool we use makes it a lot quicker
This was the densest but best CZcams videos I have ever seen. Huge thanks-this was phenomenal.
Thanks 👍
Yep, convinced me that I'm not ever going to try this.....
This is my dream, having my own 3D printer and cast my own designs from my home! This is so badass. I’ve been teaching myself for about three years and doing it all by hand, and thankfully found a jeweler who casts them for me ( and gives me greatly needed tips and criticisms) it’s an expensive hobby but gosh I wish I was better. Really wish there was a class I could take in technique
If it makes you feel any better about getting into this I learned how to do this just by doing it and learning from my mistakes 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations Wow that’s amazing, and is very encouraging. Don’t ever stop! And esp since you can also do 3D modeling the possibilities are endless!
Wow! The ammount of Tools, Machines, Equipment, needed to accomplish this! Thanks for sharing this! It was very organized!
finally I understand the purpose of the tools and machines in my mom's workshop when i was a kid!
Beautiful pieces! Thank you for such a well-made, detailed video and commentary. I love your videos.
Wow this video is so dense and full of tips! Excellent video! Also you did really great with the objects! Thank you so much!
what a workshop....stunning....so many machines and all so fancy and it goes to show this has come a long way since I was a student doing my fine arts degree where I chose silversmithing as my major. I loved it but wow...my fingers were so sensitive with all the filing we did, it was worth it and my favourite was casting. I know it was complicated with the kiln and hot wax and getting the measurements according to what you were doing. This has brought it all back but with a new eyes now that I see there is great advancement with such machinery and tools ...I loved it and thank you for such an insightful tutorial
One day I'll get all the stuff I need to try this, I've wanted to try lost wax casting forever. Your vids are super helpful and straightforward.
The ring looks sooo good! Great job 👌🏻
Spectacular delivery 👏🏽 appreciate the presentation
Genuinely ur the best, I really appreciate the amount of dedication you put into ur videos, super informative yet succinct
This is superb amount of info and the filming process just makes things so much more understandable. Thanks for the great work and making the complex simple again.
I'm happy to hear that I was able to get all the info across clearly in a short video. 😁👍
Wish all YT vids were like this, spot on and to the point. Great rings and coin!
Thanks and I have been trying to make my videos like that as of late 😁
This one video is an amazing resource, incredibly thorough and concise.
Thanks
God bless you man for sharing all this knowledge. Loads of thanks!
I can't thank you enough for this video! Every step, every necessary machine or tool has been explained, leaving no questions open. Phenomenal job
Dude you even listed every machine and alternatives including links in your description. This is unreal
Thanks and yeah I really do try and make it easy for people to find the tools I'm working with
This was awesome! I’m really trying to learn how to do this and I’m sooo excited
this is the most informative video regarding lost wax casting on whole youtube in 16 mins, We just want more of this video frequently . thank you so much for your great video again.
This isn't the only video about it but I do think it's my best video on the topic.
Here is my first video about it czcams.com/video/bBAkI78--cE/video.html
The immaculate level of detail has left me very happy. Times, materials, substitutions, possible issues... Bravo 👏🏻
Thanks for the lesson
😁
Wow! Great job explaining. And great work!
Video is beautifully done.
Loved video. Exactly, what I’ve been looking for.
Best how to I’ve ever watched. Covered everything, but wasn’t too much. Good work.
😁
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you for directing me to this video GMC! I'm going to recommend your channel to my jewelry friends.
No problem and happy to hear that you liked the video 😁👍
Great work all around, thank you for the knowledge.
Thank you for sharing!!! Wow there are so may devices and tools that are needed, this has slightly intimidated me :)
Awesome video dude!!
Great resource of information. Thank you for all the great tips and all the links!
No problem and I'm happy to be able to people looking for info 👍😁
Thank you for such a great info video. You do great work.
You are so detailed... thanks so much!
Excellent list of parts and alternatives. Thank you so much.
😁
You have really becomed a master of the molds during the videos of yours done concerning the results! I think you're now graduated!
Amazing info and so clear! Thank you for sharing your process.
No problem and happy to hear that you liked the video 😁👍
Probably the highest quality video I have seen on the subject.
Well thanks 😁👍
I have been watching videos about this for days. Your vid does an excellent job of tying things all together so that it makes sense from start to finish. I am interested in making small brass or bronze parts for some models that currently make use of resin printed parts that are not quite durable enough. I think that this is the direction that I need to go. Not cheap to start from scratch (I already have the printer and associated support equipment) but it seems like the only way to reliably get accurate small metallic castings. Thanks for the nice vid, it was quite helpful! As are the links.
Well I'm happy the hear that that video was helpful and yeah it should make better parts for you.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Brilliant concise video . Great you got so much information into one video👍
Well thanks you very much and if questions come up from people I can always add them to the blog post that goes along with this video to help out others with the same questions 😁👍
Super cool video!!🙂↕️ great ring!
😁👍
Awesome video!
This was fantastic. I already have casting experience from 3D printing and casting silicone molds in pressure pots. I knew metal casting was similar but different enough that if I ever wanted to do it I'd need to do research.
I'm currently debating printing and metal casting prop dagger or if it would be better to just print it in resin and paint it/faux gold leaf it. Pros and cons to both I feel
Thanks so much for making this. Super helpful!!!
Thanks and I'm happy it was helpful.
This is an amazing amount of work you did for everyone to learn about casting. Thank you 🙏
😁
So cool. I’ll have to try this at some point in my life. Also, that scanner is amazing.
Thanks and yeah it's a very interesting thing to to and you can make all kinds of things doing it seeing that it doesn't just have to be jewelry. You can make small custom parts using bronze.
Yeah that 3D scanner is really good at what it does. I didn't have to do any 3d modeling at all to the scanned ring before printing it.
@@GomeowCreations what scanner is it? Maybe I missed it in your tools list?
Great video thank you !
Dayum man. You have all the damn nice tools and machines in your shop!!
Haha yeah I have a lot of cool tools at my disposal 😅👍
@@GomeowCreations well I only started about 2 1/2 years ago so I am getting there. Do you think that I should get a torch and tank set or should I invest in something else if I am using butane torches and making turquoise rings earrings bracelets etc
Amazing and fun, I think I found my job for when I get retired.
So cool!! I had no clue this was a thing!
i watched this whole thing like i'm about to get into this tomorrow
It's a phenomenal video, Thank You so much.
Well thank you very much ☺️
Lots of great information here!
Thank I really tried in this one to make thing as clear as I could
Those pine cones are bad ass and those skulls beautiful
Yeah they are, I really need to try and make some like that some day
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
Very cool, we use glycerine in dentistry when light curing composite fillings to harden the oxygen inhibited layer
Very good and explanation video... thank you so much
I AM SPEECHLESS. HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD. WHAT A PROCESS. Bravo. I was thinking I can make something like that - but I dont think I can. Just wow. You are incredible.
I do feel like if you have the right tools and some know how, anyone can do this. That being said getting all that doesn't come cheap 😅
This is a Master class thank you!!!
Lol really? 😅
Excellent video!! Thanks.
Well thank you very much. I was hoping the video would turn out good seeing that it took about 2 weeks to shoot and edit 😅
this was a huge mini-master class for casting in lost wax, props!
Thanks and I'm happy it's coming across like that 😁 this video was a lot of work to get done haha
😲 Bruh! You have so many of the coolest toys now. Your hard work is paying off. It has been quite the journey. Keep on crushin it, while i watch & drool a bit longer... 🤤
Thanks and yeah I do have a lot of tools now that I never thought I would when starting out 😅
Nice job. Very cool shop...
😁
Your video explanation is one of the best I have watched.
Thanks 😁
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks and no problem at all 😁👍
Thanks for explaining this!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Much appreciated.
Thanks 😁
Amazing vid bud!
😁
Great reference video for new and experienced users
Thanks, let me know if you want to post it on your website 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations we will product it on our page with a reference to the channel
Amazing video
Very well explained, I knew how
To do already but still nice video !
😁👍
Thanks for such a detailed video! Lots of helpful content.
Just a question about scanning the initial waxed ring- is there a particular 3D scanner/ program software that you would recommend?
What a great video!!!!!
Thanks
Very cool info!
Glad you think so!
If you get it right (temp and pouring speed) you can take the peices straight to a buffing wheel and polish it up after cutting them off
Short answer, this is not something I want to get into yet. Long answer, great job explaining how it works and providing me with all kinds of information that I did not anticipate. Thank you very much.
No problem and I'm happy to hear that I was able to help.
Very informative video thank you for sharing this unfortunately I have none of those tools
Very suitable for those who make handmade items. Small but very professional.
😁
Great video, thank you !
No problem 😁👍
Grate video and information thanks for all tha content 💪
😁👍
Hello !!! Thanks for the wonderful video
I have a question ?
At what temperature should the carving be before pouring the material ?
Such a handy video thank you! It has been very helpful while setting up my own shop.
Quick question though; what is the name of the hard wax you used to fill in the voids of your coin? I'm having difficulty finding it.
Thank you so much again for all the information in the video!
Great Video loved it! I have question If I want to manufacture A idol can I use same wax to create multiple cavity or make copy of cavity because 3d printer takes 12 hours to create wax model.
Hi Gomeow, thanks a ton for making this video. I’m learning how to cast right now and it’s made me realize I can do it. One quick question for the investment process, do you have to mix for the full 4 minutes or get it fully mixed in under 4 minutes?
Same with the vacuum, do you hold the vacuum for 1 minute and then 2 minutes and then release the vacuum after the full minute or two?
Thanks.
you can also use warm water + salt to get rid of the remaining plaster. fell on this video by accident, and the whole process is alot alike what we do in dental prosthetics.
Great video, but so much equipment and work needed !
Thanks and yeah
My good video, what resin did you use? Can you use a standard resin or should you definitely use a castable resin?
The centrifugal force one is what dental labs have used since the beginning of time and is highly reliable.
Hi, love you video, watched it multiple times ❤ what silver is tarnish resistant for casting? Is it possible to use the vegetable glycerin multiple times? It seems a bit wasteful to chuck it each time. Can you put the glycerin in the vacuum chamber to remove some of the bubbles?
amazing, awesome video, thank you so much!! I can't wait to try working with wax :) There are some places in my area where I would be able to get casting done for me, so I could actually try working with wax sometime in the near future 😍
Yeah I would be interesting to learn how to make things using wax and if you have places you can go to get them cast that's even better.
GoMeowCreations -- Randy: I'm gob-smacked at the amount of steps and the long list of items needed!! Wow. I want to make a professional looking chess set that I have never seen anywhere before. I think I need to start with the PLA you mentioned. Also, I know DIDDLY about all this! I would probably need a class to start. By any chance are you in Western Canada?! If not, I think I'll have to look up courses and THEN come back and follow your advice. Thanks SO much for the long list of great uploads and the detailed lists. I take LOTS of screenshots on your recommended settings and items.
id recomend you find a maker lab in your area... these are three skill sets: making the wax, casting, finishing the pieces.... i'd recomend you offload the casting process to someone else, it's probably the most expensive skill in terms of equipment needed,
Really nice
😁
Olá gostaria de agradecer pelo vídeo e pelo o compartilhamento de conhecimento sou do interior do Brasil e estou começando agora por aqui tudo é muito caro e de difícil acesso mas como vc disse para um seguidor vou aprender com os meus erros até chegar a excelência!
Amazing vedio Fren Gomeow
Hey ! Really nice video, all we have to know is here ! But, what about the casting temperatures in the kiln ? I don't understand fully the graphic you show on screen, and you said you break it down but... So i you could explain, that would be the best video on the topic
All the equipment needed for this stops me cold.
Thanks!
😁
13:19 That is what she said and thank you for the video!
Love your videos! What 3D scanner do you use?
