Not impressed, those spoons and things are much more attractive and valuable then those “coins” of yours

Finally a perfect how to!!! I love that you showed trial and error. That helps a lot. Thanks and GORGEOUS work!

Damn this is really cool! Love to see people get creative with precious metals

Hi from the U.K. I found this very inspirational. I have the same furnace and still learning how to make something beautiful. I have a brass casket about 6'' in length x 5'' high that I want to recreate -pouring into 12'' flask with petrobond mold; poured 1 kilo of silver only to find that the base plate section of the mold was all I managed to cast. I'll keep going though until I can develope the technique. Thank you for putting this video together, it has helped me realise a couple of things.

I always enjoy the intros. Good job figuring out the process for great pours.

Thank you for a no bs video. Much appreciated

I had problems with sterling silver myself, glad ya fingerd out about the torch trick, tricky, but it works! Great video!

ill pay ya half of what its worth now lmao

In the end they look awesome! I want to start doing this hopefully this winter! Wanna get a forge asap! Once the process is figured out it’s all up hill!

Everything needs to be hotter, way hotter. Go to about 1100 on the silver and pre heat your moods for at least a few minutes before the pour. Also a little borax wouldn’t hurt 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It’s like you said practice makes perfect it’s always the first several coins you pour will be difficult but it gets better and better after that lovely looking coins 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊

Trial and error + patience and lots of heat = excellent pours. Well done, sir.

It's an art... hard to master, but you got it! Love the commentary! Nice pours!

What lens do you have that made the crucible glow purple? Looks awesome.

BEAUTIFUL

Great job brother

AWESOME Howto!!!

I've always wanted to try doing that with silver. You must be in the upper Midwest, I saw that Menards bucket. I'm in Minnesota.

Beautiful artworks.

Great video, starting to play with pouring myself. How do you know if the spoons/forks/salt shakers got any pewter/lead weights in them? Usually silver knives got stainless steel for the blade part.

OUCH! Some of that was painful to watch hahaha. Tough learning curve. Glad you figured it all out and showed the process. Was worried it was all gonna burn haha. Looks great! Going to try my hand at it next week.

Watching things melt always reminds me of the Terminator movie. 🤣

I truly sympathize with you! I poured my first piece yesterday, into a graphite mold. It didn't work! I found out my mold wasn't hot enough and it solidified too quickly. I had NO idea pouring could be such a pain in the a@@! Great video though. I'm really happy that you finally got what you wanted.

Nice job! What is the apparatus you used to melt everything? Was it Propane powered

Wow those are nice!

you should really use some kind of mask that protects you from the fumes. nice video btw👍

That’s cool

how much is the portable smelter that you are using?.

Where did you find all this sterling silver?

What is the purpose of changing the shape if they are still .925. At least with the scrap everything is marked and verifiable as sterling. After you melt it, it could be anything. I guess if it were refined I could see the point a bit better.

Does the consistency issue have anything to do with the purity?

My sterling always turns black even after I clean it does using borax really help that much?

With all metals heat is super important at the pour. Your mold should be hot as you showed here to avoid shock and so your mold doesn't cool the metal too quickly. Keeping heat on the pour after will help smooth it out as you have found out. You can also purify your stearling into pure silver as well by using a cuppell and separating the copper and zinc from the silver. Good luck to you and keep those videos coming!

Melt at 1050 F. Pour into tall column of water slowly to make shot. Then weigh out the amount of silver required to fill the mold place in ceramic melt dish and melt with hand torch. Better to use oxygen and Mapp or acetylene gas. You could also just place it inside a gas or electric furnace. The only way you could pour it straight out of the crucible is back your mold with block that has a sprue and riser.

Awesome

irregardless...they came out awesome. I got to try melting silver someday

Interesting

.925 silver one oz. at a time takes less than 10 min in a mikerowave!

what kind of furnace is that I saw one similar from Amazon?

Isn’t borax pretty corrosive to graphite?

Bro you really shouldn’t have the fuel tank on the table when you’re pouring. Anyways all love man thanks for showing how hard it actually is to do this work

"wonder who's rich mouth that one was in" 😁

Is It best to insulate, as shown, with Fire fibre resistance material fibre just In case? I have the same electronic smelter that is offered, & takes "FOREVER," Next move Devils Smelter & Gass, much better as I have seen for myself! P/S, great video. Please keep them coming

Why is all this, what purpose and beauty is there in this?😀

I did my first pour to day with sum silver shot that I got from rio grand it came out real bad black and cooper looking iam new to this help.

Hello, new viewer, and subber! Do you sell any of your finished sterling?

Try melting just enough to fill the mould

did you add the borax and mix it then scrape the impurities off the top? the sluge could be the garbage you should of scraped off the top. also if some of that was zinc or nickle it couod give you issues because i believe it would float on top. you can also try a little hotter temp. i think ur good up to 1100 but by the way it was rough pours inthe beginning with the top of the batch leads me too believe its because of alag on top or accidentally using zinc or nickle. it also could be the 7.5% of the sterling that is nickle tin or copper floating to the top. try mixing it really good

Have you ever tried using clay and pouring a silver round?

Did u buy sterling 925 babycup

Make sure you heat up the molds to 400-500 with a torch before pouring and add some borax flux

Waaaaaaaay HOTTEEEEEEER!!!!

If you turn the temperature up on your furnace, the silver won't freeze so quickly. cool video though. Subscribed liked and rung the bell.

Noooo... not the small spoon... those sell for double-triple silver price... EDIT: like for all of your struggle... My struggle is ahead, I collected some silver and going to purify and pour... looking for advice... This will help me much...

I'm just getting started on melting silver myself and just about to go get the mapp pro gas. But I now see MAPP Pro is not going to be enough. I need to get that smelting machine you got as well. But thanks for the video of going through the good and bad. I learned a bit. Especially not to let those hit my bench to burn it up. haha! SH@t Happens eh? But no, seriously, thanks for the video. I'm just wondering, are you wearing a mask with some 3M filters while doing this?

I can see why you use the other furnace now.

👏👏

👍

Heat your molds more should be 400 f I found pouring on the floor rather than at waist level is better and give your self room you didn’t have much s-ace between you and your work area you were having to be careful not hitting camera etc give your self Heepz of room makes for nice steady pours! Keep it up!

Barstool ✊

It's never to late to give up......

That little “heh heh” when you dropped a spoon in there was my favorite part. The reason being, I did the exact same thing when you did. It was awesome.

Arent you supposed to strike the coin? Less piur? I know nothing btw

i cast hotter 1020 and it works just fine!

Yes I was thinking not enough heat. and more borax. but turned out well.

I read mold should be about melt temperature

better coat the graphite Crucible with boric acid

Practice makes perfect. FYI, what you have produced are not coins, but Silver Rounds and or Bars

Apparently he had no clue that the time and effort was of value only to other clueless people.

are you going to chemically like purify it more down to make it 999 pure

have you tried this with a microwave?

im no professional but you can pour much better coins if you raise your temp to 1020

Why borax?

Really nice work shop you ave there. Good work as well, thanks for great videos here and I wish you all the best

People who buy and sell gold and silver even if the item is worth more as a piece, they buy by weight. If I were him, I would put 9.99% pure silver 24 pure gold. Hold on to your silver coins. The gold and silver are a good investments to buy and sell things.

Naw, that's the first video of pouring I have watched I'm sure you got it down pat I will watch more

Maybe watch a video or two on investment casting r sand casting because you are dng the cmetel wronge and with a the impurities you should be using a bit of borax

Ok Favorite episode 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼My middle name is Sterling 😆😆😆Shit you not.

🙏😎👍

Do you sell your creations and if so do you have a store or website

Clam like molds would yeild you a better result, or failing that make a sheet of silver and stamp out the individual bullion coins. Not to sound critical but your method here is on the dangerous side.

If at first you don’t succeed . Try try try try try try try try try again. 😅

I think he skipped the pouring class.

Those flower spoon fork are worth about 400 bucks know that you smelt before you devalue it but over all good video

Please please don't use gloves when using any high speed turning drills laths, bench sanders, bench wheels. You will break all your fingers wrist be and possibly elbow. Gloves is no no on any high rpm wheels

You need better grips!!!

You need less coffee and steady hands

Looks like pewter not silver.

do yourself a favor and use some of that silver to get yourself a good camera you will thank me for it later I promise!!!

Wow this is painful to watch. Yikes

It is actually not sterling silver ... Dteling silver is 92.5% pure ... Tuff that you have is 80%
