Casting Technology thanks

Thanks, I didn’t design the clips so I didn’t think it was my place to include any more about them

Thank ya thank ya

@@American_Innovation No problem at all, always happy to support my fellow content creators. I am looking forward to improving on my own current video format I have uploaded and, in the future, trying to create content as good as yours in the long-term.

No problem, as you can tell I am a very credible source

Yah but then it would look like a bumper plate whisky is not what I was going for

I almost see that more with copper, the heat this time was crazy though. I was sweating just standing next to the crucible after I poured

In theory, great idea, in practice I can’t pay for a new slag stick every time I melt cast iron. Well I probably could but I don’t want to

The clips weren’t my design, it’s on thingaverse. But my 3D printer is an Anycubic I3 Mega. It’s cheap, breaks a lot, but I’m young and broke so it does me good. 🤘

Honestly you might lose money on that, it cost a lot of propane to melt iron and the iron itself is expensive. Leave that to the factories. Invest in a 3D printer and make clips and plastic tools I have a video where I made a forearm roller too I imagine you could sell those easily to baseball clubs they love forearms.

@@American_Innovation plates are still going up in price. Soon it may be the case that bags of coal/ cans of gas and foundry with scrap metal will be cheaper than buying plates. I havnt seen 55lb for under 120 USD.

I love the idea of doing things right. However, it’s not really what I do on this channel. I like to fail just enough that it’s a passing grade, I can learn much more in a short time doing that than spending weeks or normally months on making a marketable product. Perfection is essential for only artists. I shoot for what’s optimal.

@@American_Innovation What? Why would you want to fail? I thought that you were doing this to give as a gift. Was this supposed to be a homework assignment?

I got my printer for $200, it’s about $20 per kilo of filament. It’s actually not that expensive although, who would want a loud machine to make tiny plastic things. Some do that but if you use it as a tool it is much more useful 🤯ik

Well maybe but depending on its composition it could become stronger. Definitely don’t take everything from Ant man although I love that movie. Also liquid nitrogen is out of my budget.

Thankyou, melting things was kinda my channel before January

grafito de arcilla (clay graphite crucible)

We have a concrete floor in the gym we had a lot of weight on the bar and the clip fell off so the weight fell and two fell on top of each other so it broke

Personally I can’t make 45’s my furnace isn’t big enough to hold that much metal. I also don’t have the greensand. In theory it could be done but I don’t have the money to do it. I got the plate from my baseball facility, some idiot was squatting with no clips and the weights fell on each other and somehow broke. I didn’t see it happen I just saw the plate and an opportunity.

@@American_Innovation Understand. But the possibility of cast iron plates breaking seems slim I seen that happen and no plates broke. I've also heard of them falling out of trucks lol

@@zachthamm9595 idk they were old and a little rusted anyway.

@@American_Innovation Even so rusty weights last forever I have some garage sale finds of plates from the 70s

@@zachthamm9595 okay what if that was the first plate to fall and the others fell at the same time and broke it?

Thanks, I like you’re jack o lantern

So this was sand casting done by a 15 year old w no money. Most of your weights at the gym are either sand casted, Milled, or injection molded. Meaning most of the time their molds don’t fall apart. Mine fell apart because everything I have is fairly cheaply made by me. Also the casted ones at the gym are normally 2 part molds, meaning they can cast on both sides, and they won’t have to worry about having one side larger than the other.

@@American_Innovation oh got it, thank you

@@michaelconstantine5149 yah np 😂

@@American_Innovation just one more question if i may, the jar you r melting things in from what material is it ? If it was metal y it is not melting as well inside the furnace ??

@@michaelconstantine5149 it’s called a crucible. Mine is made of a clay carbon mixture, you may know that carbon has one of the highest melting points of all elements. The structure is actually graphite to keep it strong yet not expensive. My furnace gets up to 2600°F and that isn’t near the amount needed to melt graphite. It will crack it due to thermal shock

So it would seem

They aren’t mine but yah I can do that

@@American_Innovation Thank you!

@@MatthiasSimons no

Np*

Aha sure but, I don’t have a welder.

Hey idk what random crap went down but somehow they did it

Sorry, already gave them away

@@American_Innovation it’s ok brother I’m all the way in Fiji 🇫🇯

Indeed
