This video is about how I melt a pewter ingot to pour into a silicone mold, to make an injection mold.
It is something I've been asked about more than a few times, and since my "regular" episode is held up, I decided to finally tackle this topic.
As stated in the video, a pewter injection mold IS possible, but care must be taken during casting to ensure the pewter makes it into all the corners and details. Additionally, the mold's temperature should be monitored if it will be used for longer periods of time.
I make regular videos with the help of direct support.

My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
I am a product development engineer for a printing company. We make labels that are placed into injection molds. Your videos inspired me to pursue a rapid prototyping system for injection molding using high temp 3D print resin. You always inspire me artistically and now you’ve inspired me im a way that’s helping me make career advances. Thank you Crafsman. You are a truly amazing soul.
Brent, thank you for watching, and for such an excellent comment! This comment means a lot to me.
I know it's not the same as what you're talking about, but when we were experimenting with getting paint to stick to plastic, I tested stickers. The idea was if we produced the "A-Mod" figure, to have professional die-cut stickers made to fit the specified opening. :) Thank you again, very much.
I love this comment too
Nice.
It's never cheating, don't make yourself trapped in that you "need" to upload to the content machine that is YT. Just go with the flow, at your own pace, enjoy what you do and most importantly have fun with it. We appreciate you sharing with us your wonderful creations, no matter how short or lengthy the videos are. Thanks for inspiring us all!
It's helpful to know these things. Some of us in the lower income side of the hobby are lucky to have generous youtubers like yourself. Especially willing to use your knowledge and materials to help us avoid these potentially wasteful or costly mistakes. Keep up the content Crafman. Probably the best Hobby content on the platform ♥️
100%
For the record, I love these short shop logs. Not that I don't also love the longer videos but, I've said before, If you did a couple of these shorter bits a month and that gave more time for the longer animation videos once a month (or what ever schedule works for you) I'd be delighted.
What I'm trying to say is you do you brother, just mind yourself and don't ever feel like you're cheating.
We got you crafsman
I second the love for the shop logs. I love to learn about the hows and whys of making things.
I'd like to *BUMP* this comment.
Thank y'all so much for this, each one!
Agreed! You do you Crafsman!
Agreed! It's these little shop experiments/tips that get me fired up to go to the shed👍
This was a great video, don't discredit yourself. By you making these videos, you're answering questions that could help expedite the process in the future. We need innovation and it comes from experimentation. Love the shop vlogs and love you.
Couldn't say it better
Every time you say "I love y'all, and just keep on steady craftin" I just have to throw you a like because it warms my heart inside!
I just like the way you say it.
As a metal caster this is great to see, I do a lot of pewter casting too and I'm always looking for fun projects or new things to try. Thanks Crafsman! 👍👊
Funny that you say these little shop talk videos feel like cheating. These are some of my favorites!
The vintage video effect on older footage was a nice touch
Please never feel you need to apologize for making shorter videos, or needing more time between uploads. Us steady-crafters appreciate everything you do! Seeing a new Craftman upload is always a highlight and even if it was only 30 seconds, that's still 30 seconds of pure joy & entertainment for us!
Short, long, doesn’t matter as long as the craftsman graces my feed.
It's not cheating at all to put out these videos 👍 we love them big and small
Actually, it’s videos like this that inspires questions of “could I…”. Great vid !
I love watching these with my kids ☺️
I got into this over 20 years ago. I have an industrial size vulcanizer where I made lots of rubber molds for metal. It's basically car tire rubber and I've poured stuff up to 700 degrees in them before. It cuts down on the life but it works well.
Hey Crafsman, don't feel bad about having to do shop logs! I love your work, especially when you take the time to experiment like this.
Gotta thank you for your videos, Crafsman. Your first one on pewter got me into lost wax casting a few months ago and I've even tried out other metals since then making sculptures and figures and things. Many thanks for the inspiration!
The transition at 7:40 is great. It really shows the level of care you're taking with these videos.
Thank you, Marc! ;)
I was having a really rough day and was starting to let it get to me, but seeing a new video from you has brought a smile to my face, thank you Crafsman!
I've watched you from the start, me and my daughter (5) love watching you. I've often wondered how you could entertain such a age gap(me-41 daughter -5)...then it hit me.
If Jim Henson and Bob Ross had a love child and Mr. Roger's was your baby sitter.... the Crafsman would be the result. I think you for everything kind Sir,keep being you.
Crafsman, it’s never cheating to give us a video. All your stuff is groovy!
This isn't cheating! I love these sorts of videos!
I love the shop logs. I don't always have time to watch longer videos so these sort ones are wonderful. I really enjoy watching these short takes on crafting.
I think the corn starch started decomposing leading to the offgassing, something inorganic like fumed silica might be worth trying with this process as a flow promoter. That said a small gantry CNC engraver machine is only a few hundred dollars and could make a flat 2 part mold like this in aluminum or brass, CNC cutting is now more than viable at garage scale and with a small budget.
Thank you for being so awesome crafman. I love all the videos you put out. Every single one of them has been pretty neat. There way you present your content blows me away. The sincerity and concern for the people that watch your videos is on a whole other level. Love ya buddy. Thanks for all your videos and thanks for steady craftin
I will soon need a workshop of my own just to try all the amazing projects you have presented on your channel.
I love these shorter videos (especially when they give tips like this)! My attention span isn't what it used to be so it's great to have these little updates when you haven't uploaded a longer video in a while (or even when you have). Any content from you is good content!
Sorrow tv sent me here and I have to say your videos are the equivalent of getting a big hug from your favorite uncle when you're feeling down, every time I watch your videos it makes me happy that I'm alive and happy that I am able to create an use my imagination I'm very grateful to have found your channel, never stop crafin
I'd love to see a min video/ cartoon / claymation of u building something and then making a story of some sorts out of your crafts. You my sir are an inspiration and a genius!
Thank you for this feedback! And for the extremely kind words!
Happy to see any video you put out, Crafsman. Always informative and a lot of fun. Thank you.
I’ve been watching everything you’ve put out since you showed up in my feed about four weeks ago. I’m so delighted by your content that I’ve literally shared it with around 20 family and friends. When I introduced your content to my brother, he already knew you and started talking like you! We have similar tastes. I wish you the best in your CZcams career etc. I just love what you’re up to. I don’t think you should worry about putting out a shorter video. It was helpful content and visually excellent. Keep up the good work.
dude your voice is so calming . came to watch an art video and ended up relaxed .
You have the most comfortable voice on CZcams. I love your videos, thank you so much for sharing your process with us!
It is very relaxing to watch these videos with the birds singing in the background and the soulful voice and great tips!
Keep these shop logs coming. They are some of my favorite videos.
You are so good at what you're doing I have a pure joy watching you.
Your voice and tone is sooo stress reducing :) the birds in the background is also a nice touch.
I love that you not only give interesting information, but also create an atmosphere for your videos. The pewter mold idea was a fun experiment. The birdsong and your Cajun Bob Ross vocal tones put it over the top 💖🤗
I love relaxing over a new crafsman video. Perfect timing on this upload.
I love you crafsman, always inspiring me to try new things ❤️
It's HOT! That was informational! : )
Overall great info. I love your shop logs.
I'll admit it, that hot liquid metal scares me a little too!
Nice work, you're an innovator!
Love your videos.
You just happen to cover all the craft things I happen to be interested in.
And you got a chill laid back voice.
You have the most original and funniest crafting channel on CZcams. Please, for the love of God, do not stop making videos!!
I love your content! I have always been so interested in mold making and art figures, but it always seemed out of reach. I still don't know that I will ever get around to making them myself, but I love watching the process and learning about the different materials and techniques that can be used. Thank you for the entertaining and educational videos.
You're the only one who does this! Amazing content.
I always put in headphones for crafsman’s videos. You have such good sound mixing, keep up the great work!
Always a blessing to see you brother.
This channel puts me to sleep when I have trouble sleeping. Not because the content is boring but that voice is so soothing. Keep up the great work
I use to watch your videos alot and now ima mold setter at a plastic injection department at my factory. Now I'm even more intrigued! We work eith polycarbonate, polypropylene, Valox, nylon, acrylic, and several other materials
Love ya crafsman thank you for this video, brightened my week drastically.
I love the short shop videos. Especially ones that show and explain why we should or should not do something.
I don’t normally comment on the narrator, but the accent is cool and makes the commentary easy to listen to👍
You're work is so enjoyable to me and my family that I am proud to be in your credits!
don't worry Crafsman, I don't mind videos like this especially because you always have some neat or insightful advice. plus I know the projects you are working on are more worth the time. :)
it's so cool to see you try this Crafman! I love these quick little videos. there's sone great learning and experimentation going on up in here. Woot!
Love these videos Crasfman!
Crafsman I was secretly hoping you'd do a video about this! No need to feel like you're cheating. Keep up the great work
My goodness your voice over work has improved dramatically! And your use of old footage with the film grain is a nice touch too. :D
My day is complete! Thank you Crafsman! Huge fan of your show!
My first time watching any of your videos. So cool! I love you mild manner of expression and so informative. I look forward to viewing more of your videos soon. Keep up the awesome work.
Don’t feel like you’re cheating when doing these shop logs. All of the videos you produce end up being informative and enjoyable to watch, no matter what format they’re in or topic they cover. 🙏
Thanks for the video. I am not into molds n stuff but i find it inspiring to see you play around
So Pumped for a vid!!!! love ya brother, Keep on Steady Crafn!
Thank you so much for the vlog I love these shorter videos too Craft Man! You answered so many questions I had, I'm very new to craftin but I'm keeping it steady and learning a lot. Thanks again and LOVE YA!
I used to do pewter casting with my high school students. Made moulds from either desktop cnc engraved mdf or hand carved cuttlefish bone. One shot moulds but very fun to make.
love the shop logs, mate
I love watching pewter melt, it always makes me think about Terminator 2. Thanks for the Shop Log!
Awesome video and very informative!
Craftsman shop logs are both informative and entertaining 👍
Keep ‘em coming brother 😎
I love these bonus extra videos
I would love to see a posable injection figure with the wire inside (like Gumby). Does anyone still do that?
great video, I was just thinking about this process myself and this came out at the perfect time
I was just listening to a Kevin spacey podcast and then i hit this video with this accent. Perfection.
I like these short shop log videos.
Thank you for the update crafsman!
You are the Bob Ross o makin stuffs.
Keep craftin!
Absolutely love it!!! You should do a shop log all the time! I make molds for pouring silver! I 3d print a object. Then pour investment plaster around that. I make sure no bubbles are in it by vacuum sealing it and running my finger around like you taught us. I then melt out the 3d print then pour silver in its place. I’m still working on making them come out with less pitting. I’ve handed vent shaft but still have pitting. They look amazing tho!
Listening to him just makes me happy 🙂
Thank you for posting this.

Man, you're entertaining! Love the last little camera's All-Right move. Classic theCrafsMan!

Nice, any bit of info is great, thank you for posting!
