Couple of points for anyone wanting to try this 1. Dusting your moulds with baby powder helps to get a better surface finish 2. if you have something in your workshop that vibrates when its turned on or makes your bench vibrate put the mould on there pour the pewter in and then vibrate for a few seconds and this will help to prevent any sink holes as it settles the pewter into the mould and helps get any air out Happy casting :-)

Sweet video! I showed my kids how to do this years ago, and now we have a real furnace.

The evolution of the terminator is what all the skulls 💀 look like all lined up. Owl love them all. 😁 Nintendo controller is cool!

That was fun, thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of fun cast stuff.

I actually love that small scull witch has the most of those tiny bubbles.. looks like a bullet holes in terminators face. And creepy looking also. Awesome work Ralph!

Smoke your molds with a candle If you want to make them shinny drop them in a vibrating tumbler with some crushed walnut shells and a liquid car polish I use NU car polish in a orange bottle in about 24 hours or so They will come out beautiful

nice work Ralph, you cast pewter nice, I have the orange one in my collection of bit n bobs for casting lol i did not think to find your channel till now for some reason i dint think you had one , lol old age strikes again...try a dusting of talc in your moulds mate, oh watch the rest and you have lol soz

Very interresting content. I am inspired for some casting projects. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards from Treasure Island

Very Wicked Great Stuff Ralph 👍👍

Oh!!! I really like the PlayStation and Xbox controllers! Those are all so cool!

you must dust your moulds with talc or graphite powder before every pour.

I Think my favorite is the Owl And the Small Skull !!! They Turn out really good with Pewter !!

Great job well done thanks for sharing cheers 👍

I recently got two boxes full of pewter at a garage sale for five dollars! I think I’m going to buy myself some molds to make my own chess set

Preheat the moulds so the pewter doesn’t cool down before it’s fully poured.

I kept waiting for the metal to freeze up on you when pouring the grenade. I drop in and look for pewter at the local thrift shop periodically, but haven't noticed any on my trips, though I have found some decent and cheap metal molds that I've used a lot. Always funny going to the front and being asked if I bake :)

Great video Ralph.

very informative. the first skull, that would male a killer ring. might try heating the molds a bit before the pour. i find this helps with the flow and less voids in the cast.

I'm only here cause you like to melt and I like to watch! 😜

Pewter melts a lot easier then I thought 👊🏻

The controlers are way cool, all turned out neat.

Thay are fantastic ralph love the lego men 👌

Also preheat your molds they will come out better

hey man, nice content as usual buddy. Keep em coming =)

Nice I like the molds

So you know it's all jogging away..hahahah LOL Althought I've watched this on my tv before.. :)

woow awsome stuff ;) i also buy stuff from etsy and yes the tin get more shiny thats why i make ingonts first and then i remelt it and make bars or cool stuff great video ;) and nice stuff ;)

There all awesome

I canto find pewter in my country, but o wanna try that

Hey bud I saw your comment on diggers dens video and I had to come check you out and sub you. Awesome video and some great tips thank you for sharing. I was thinking about using silicone moulds but wasn't sure they would work. But looks awesome !!!

Interesting video with good tips. Was curious, what kind of silicon are these molds?

Wow there awesome

So you on Kev's live stream, thought I would just out the channel!👍

Nice video and how mush are they I wold buy some and I do like the small skull

i like your hobbies

With the ones with small voids in them; is it possible to fill the voids with a soldering iron and a wee bit of pewter? Especially when the object is quite big and the flaws are so small?

That's really good. I came across this video by accident and thought it was going to be rubbish. In fact it was that good I'm going to try this. It was fantastic. One question though. Where did you get your moulds from

time for some more vids man. cheers

Thumbs Up

may I ask do you use a mask? or have some sort of fan? and have a idea to help you get a old oscillating tooth brush, by holding it near the silicone it should get the air out faster

How many pours can you get with those silicone molds when using lead?

For pewter; are there any silicones that I should avoid? I would like to make some molds copying some things and creating others.

How much would a skull be. I live in the UK?

where did you get the molds

is the pot you're melting in cast iron?

It's not bad, but it's only 15 minutes worth of material stretched into 51 minutes of video. I'd subscribe if the editing was better.
