Ants getting "preserved" in aluminum ASMR.

Nothing like watching ants die before I fall asleep.

I love that you finally started speaking and explaining to your audience exactly what you are doing...much applause

I’ve seen all of your videos, and I’m looking forward to some more up-to-date castings. You do a great job and make the pours very interesting, especially with your commentary. You are so knowledgeable on this art and you make it look easier than it probably is.

Gotta say, for a miniature death-camp this looks pretty cool.

I love how you walk us through the process! I just first want to thank you very much! I love how enjoyable, and informative all of your videos are, and not at any moment do I ever want to click away! I cannot wait for the next video Sir! I hope you are doing alright and staying safe! 👑🙏🏽🌹

When I was in kindergarten, we had a fire ant colony in the sand box. I fell down while playing on top of the hill... I'll leave out the details, but the colony was not thrilled, to say the least. So, yes, fire ants are very aggressive and an invasive species. Also, these are pretty awesome to see the behavioral patterns of different ant species and how they work with their colonies.

At 3:15 when he says “back up” it sounds just like the “BACK UUUP! put it in reverse terry!” video clip. LOL. good one nolan!

I’d like to see an underground bee hive aluminum casting

My wife and I find these videos amazing!!!

Fire ants destroyed by fire. Ironic? Poetic?

You found a great niche on the Tube. Maybe add some nice still pictures with a mirrorless camera and a black portrait background. I could stare at that for hours

Property for sale, 3 acres, some holes in the ground but absolutely no ants. Will consider trade for similar property with ants.

Amazing and kills horrid fire ants. Ended up going to hospital thanks to them.

Yes!! Happy to see you've now got your name on the ingots!! And yet again, an epic video, can't wait for the next one!

I just watched a couple of other people doing this and You by Far have the very best techniques and outcomes. You are the best! Hope this continues to interest you. Who knows but one day an art show will want to feature your works of art. Many are so beautiful. I like that you leave bits of roots or rocks in the finished casting.

Simple fantastic. What a gorgeous casting!

Wow! Just stumbled onto your channel. Fascinating!!! Watched a few of your videos so far. New sub for sure! Now I am assuming you sell these maybe as art? I think they're amazing. I can't imagine you're not selling these. They are so awesome! Can't wait to watch more!

I could watch these videos all day! This is sooo cool!!

Thank you. This is my next best thing after trying to get over bleackheads videos addiction

You should put a mic near the mound when you do this... So we can hear thousands of screams! Muahahhaha Muahahhaha MUAAAHAHAHAHA 😜

Do you have a site where i can purchase one of these?

one of the best so far

super nice man, love how it turned out, love the details at the end, never really paid attention to the ants after the casting, but seeing the charcoal ants was pretty cool, I will definitely look for that next time. and then obviously you will have to figure out how to cast a star fruit!!!

That would look awesome in a big fish tank! Well done ! Subbed!

You're getting a lot of views .. your subs should be much higher.

Really like the way you walked us through all the steps - nice! And great result.

Regarding the roots...as shown at the end of the video do you leave them, considering then part of the “art”, or do you try to pick/pry/pull them out completely? Enjoying the videos!

Ant Pompeii.

I love that you explain so much about the process and the reason you’re doing it! It’s nice to learn these things.

i always thought fire ants would immediately become cremated with that type of heat!

What do you use the molds for? Seen you preheat them but not use them yet

Nice looking casting! Great video and very informative. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, that one is super looking! Great pour and a beautiful cast 👍 Nice job!✌️

Hobby?! It's a way of life! Keeps my blood pressure to a minimum!😁

How much aluminum do you use for one pouring? Do you have an online school/class

The satisfying sound of ants getting burned and crispy

Good job you two!

Have you ever considered using a metal detector to figure out how far the castings extend?

Wow amazing work ant did underground ..great pour

Where did you buy the stuff to melt aluminum I've got ant hills in my yard and would like to do this

When you're done, do you fill the hole back?

That didn't kill them all? Huh; the molten metal must have started to solidify before it reached the outer passages and chambers. Hope you got the queen and the brood chambers, at least; the rest will be dead within a few months with no queen.

Anyone's who been attacked by those vicious monsters should enjoy this

I wonder how it would look like if you used clear acrylic instead of aluminum...

So... Do you sell these or anything after you clean them up?

It would be pretty cool if you can find the Queen.

Really cool piece bro! Good job.

Do you sell these castings? Where?

so do you sell these things?

That would make a nice little Christmas tree.

So glad these things aren’t around where I live. How often do you find a new hill on your property? Do you do this on neighbor/friend’s property as well?

I'd be dressed like I was an astronaut! I hate even oven burns lolol

From what I remember from school (many Moons ago), you heat Aluminum Oxide to the melting point of Aluminum, then shoot a HIGH VOLTAGE electrical current through it (AKA "Frankenstein"), this is why Aluminum Foundry's are always found near power plants (or they used to be).

给您一个很好的建议，將此件艺术品加一些裝饰品，若是買到的话！可以在底部位置放一些类似灯饰的装饰！或者在空隙位放一些亦可！不錯！

That mound looks awesome. We can bearly get a couple days without rain, hoping for a few weeks of no rain this summer.

What's the best time of the year to do that

That's really cool. 😊👍 what do you do with the castings once finised?

To remove all the roots do you use a tub of acid / water mix? The other thing do use led lights inside your works of art?

How does a person buy one?

Anyone else feeling phantom ants crawling on them after watching this?

You should get a stamp to imprint your casts they are so good☮️

Very cool!

So just curious, from start to finish, approximately how long does a task like this take? From the sand perimeter to melting the aluminum to hosing off the artwork....this is awesome 👌

What size crucible do you use?

Do you sell your castings? I want one!

Would it be possible to purchase one of these? Serious question.

Charcoalized . I’m putting that in my dictionary.

great video

Any ants that come back are in a post apocalypse

This is oddly satisfying.

12:47. Dead center. Looks like one of those theater masks.

Nolan’s Anthill Castings and Baby Starfruits

Nice!!!

They're the opposite of friendly, they're un friendly

What are you going to do with the root that goes through it? Are you going to try to burn it out, cut it out or just leave it and maybe carve it into something?

If you used a long skinny metal tube for a nozzle and stuck it in the ground around the hot casting and injected the water around it while hot, I wonder if the boiling action of the water would loosen it and maybe help uproot it

How often do you roast marshmallows while you are waiting for the aluminum to melt??

Make sure you get them all. You don’t want an ant John Wick to come after you!

I'm always confused that no one connects the top to something to support its weight. Like a hook or a strap

Ile takie coś może kosztować?

Nice video. If you preheat your spoon too the aluminum won't stick to it when you scoop out the dross.

Is this the premise behind the pokemon Durant?

I guess as a kid it just wasn't enough for this guy to kill ants with a magnifying glass.

I wonder how many ants were harmed during the making of this film.

Really cool underground city. Built by skilled workers 😁

Came across your channel today, interesting. Have you ever thought about using these new age resins they have out today, thinner than molten Aluminum, can get deeper into the nest, slower to cure which allows it time to do so, and can be mixed to mimic any color, including Aluminum, and it won't burn you.

Please tell me you're wearing eye protection.

Some casters use the bottoms of cans to shape the base..

How do find all the ant hills

Nice 👍

Did you grow your star fruit tree from seed?

Looks like Mount Vesuvius and Pompey.

Very cool

It looks like a bunch of people dancing and twirling alone and with each other. Weird how I seem to see that.

Great

what does molten aluminum smell like?

This one is nice.

I was wondering has any try glass

Interesting what we may see inside metal under X-RAY or ultrasound etc
