I should have known metal casting was harder than it looks. This guy does it in a way that makes it look easy and cool, but here are the Behind The Scenes. Edit: A lot of you guys are saying the opposite that its actually easier. I looked through and some parts are intentionally failed.

He really cooked that hand grenade. Right? Right?

That first clip of the metal in water, the sound was exquisite

Casting is the equivalent of trying to let out a quiet fart while you have diarrhea

Should make a video explaining or theorizing what went wrong and how to correct them

bro just casually spills molten metal and goes “whoops!”

I've always heard about preheating metal mould before pouring. From what I learned a cold can sweat due to the temperature difference and in turn causes the poured metal to pop and explode.

Mad respect for showing off your mistakes and not just your successes. Virtual fist bump 👊 for that one.

Metal casting is on my bucket lists along with glassblowing and driving a tank.

"failed casting attempts" *Sees glass jar* I think we all know where this is going

This is a good video that all the time everything won't go perfect 👏

Have to keep your hands steady. Keep the flow going but don't rush. Focus on the middle while pouring

If you learned from it then it's not a mistake, yet a teaching moment.

The moment I saw the grenade my heart almost stopped beating 💀

The one before the last one was actually beautiful

Вспомнила , что когда была маленькой мечтала работать сталеваром.

I love the fails almost as much as the perfectly perfect work! Like bloopers for metal casting. ❤

I like the one before the ball with legs it was really smooth 🙂

I saw a guy in Afghanistan cast parts, clean em , assemble them and fire off a fully automatic Mauser Broomhandle . He made it in the sand ! 😊

"I poured molten metal into a glass jar full of water! How could I possibly have foreseen what would happen next???"

Ues! It's time for the blooper reel. We've been watching these people make incredible videos for years but at some point we need the outtakes. I wanna see more oops.

"Dude, give me this. I'm very thirsty..." "No, wait! This is..."

Only practice makes a man perfect 😉❤

This is why I've never done casting before. I would be so upset if I went to the trouble to make a mold and it just completely failed.

It's crazy how one false move and you've already got 3rd degree skin burns

so basically what i've learned is this dude has butter fingers.

Remember not only his wins, but also his fails, and appreciate his work

If you're casting in metal blocks, pre-heating your mold is extra-critical.

Some of these didn't look like failures, like the grenade and the last one

The 4th one actually looks sick🔥

Man... not to hate or complain on you at all, cause this is great stuff. But maybe I should start filming more casting projects that I do. I'm a blacksmith and have a small channel. Trying to build it up while I get my business of he ground and take care of family. I'd love 23,000 views. I mostly forge but I do cast parts when a project needs it, or by commission. And You deserve em! Fun stuff🍻

I love that you show this. Not a lot of creators show their fails and I think it's wonderful. It shows you've learned from your mistakes. Solid work dude.

I can't believe he did not say a single word after all these mishaps.

gotta be honest, that blue cocoon with the gold rays in the middle looked cool af

It’s might help if you scrape the slag off of the top before pouring

That glass said “I’m done. I’m seeing myself out”

Preheat the mould and create separate sprews for the air to escape. All those fails were from the air bubbles launching your metal out or getting trapped.

I like building grenades, they are usually oversized engines. 😊

When got fail, he suddenly get away from the model. How brave you are man, preserving your life. Your work is really good and so relaxing, thanks for it

We all fail stuff when we try and yes we all make mistakes we learn from them. Nobody has to be perfect in order to be a nice guy.

I can just _feel_ the frustration emanating from those times that you spilled the metal outside of the hole

Heat looks a little inconsistent, could be part of the issue. Do you preheat the moulds at all? I've seen that fix some of the boiling gas that gets released during the pour. Thanks for sharing the failures, lot of integrity and respect imo.

You need to add a vent and preheat your cast before you add the molten material. Any moisture trapped in there will turn to steam, as well as get trapped in lower areas of the mold.

Nothing comes easy. Keep doing what you love doing.

Your job is wonderful. You have my respect

Failure is the greatest teacher of mankind.

We gotta take a moment to appreciate the skill and work it takes for this man to give us these lovely satisfying videos ☺️

This is the best 💪😎

There's a reason the channel is called "Almost Perfect" It's almost perfect

Литьё в воду, кстати, вполне себе реально. Так получают дробь. А если заливать расплав в струю воды, то можно получить мелкую дробь, как порошок.

Первый момент 😂😂😂 ой банка загорела ❤❤

When I saw the metal ball at the end. My immediate thought was demon core.

My nightmare starts when he spilled that molten stuuf that looks like gold

Oh my gosh I’d panic every time

I like to imagine some kid got into his backyard and pushed him whenever there was a jerking motion and all the metal spewed out

Bro is out here with the courage to be showing his mistakes when half of us dont even have the courage to walk up to a girl and ask their name

I thought it was easy😅

I like the laughing chicken or ravens on the double Hole spill =)

Heat your molds to 1000°F then pour your metal. I cast jewelry for 15 years. I know it will help fill the mold completely. And less spilled.

The sound that the first one made 😫💞👏 Did kinda sound like a bird though

ay I love how you can see the progress

Wind is the opponent

It's such a pain to see these but at least I know that he worked hard on this

On second thought, I probably shouldn't go into this career considering I can't hover my arms steady.

My grandfather casted silver and pewter and always used plaster molds

I enjoyed this almost as much as I did the successes!

those first two sound like failure sound effects in video games

The main things that seems to cause the fails is wind and to fast of pour speed. This crap happens to me anytime I cast; all the conditions have to be just right

The cannon ball with legs could probably still be effective

sand seems to be the only way that works best. or what every that stuff is at the end. that looks like dark beach ocean sand.

still fun to watch

You need to vent the mold in the right places.use the right kind of sand,and the melting process helps aswell

It's Not a Failure It was an Experience

Dude, I got this video right after someone throwing a dud grenade. Coincidence? I think NOT!

Thats why its "almost perfect restoration"

that grenade was about to blow off

I’m always like you miss it quick scoop it up ! Then remember it’s hot metal 😂

Improper joining of the mold pieces or his greensand was too wet, as for the last pour... That looks damn near perfect .

I do not see failed attempts, i see progress

Nice little Sputnik there. It's got to be harder to cast metal than they make it appear that especially looking at these videos but still great work.

The first one you meeded a much bigger jar cause the metal is still too hot and when it touched the glass it caused stress. A big glass vase also would work.

The second one was really dangerous

The hand Granada was sick!

You should make a lapis lazuli knife (epic minecraft reference)

Slagg/ contaminate removal is tedious but necessary during cast process

2 clip is when you pouring molten and your best friend kicks you arm

Imagine the magma falling on ur hands

The First experiment sounds look like a birds bro, very nice

Last one (that ball) looked okay, what am I missing? 🤔

I've always wanted to learn how to cast

Kids, definitely do NOT try this at home. You can get severely injured or worse.

The concrete is actually a cool reaction

Appreciate showing fails

Life can’t just be perfect all the time ~ lesson

Moral of the video that this work are not simple which you are seeing his another videos and don't try at home but any one was professional in this work so egnore my word 😂😂😂😂😂

Still better than I could do. So I say... Neat :)

Can you post a video of the things you made ❤️

Painful…

Oopsie Daisy some spilled on my hand

When you're cad welding and forget the nickel
