Making your own small lost wax castings is great fun and very rewarding. We set out to create a simple system to enable folk to cast their own designs with minimal bench space, time, money, or prior knowledge. These videos are intended to be encouraging showing what can be done often in a deliberately "home spun" way. We hope you enjoy watching, and have a go too.

New style Vacuum table from steedcraft
Переглядів 4,8 тис.6 років тому
Vacuum casting is now much easier thanks to the price drop in vacuum pumps. Previously we have suggested a solution with a holding tank and a valve to allow for a cheap easy to find pump. Now that good quality pumps are affordable we can do away with the plumbing. These pumps are also very good for de gassing investment and silicone rubbers used to make molds.

Making a crown ring with 3 stones Part 5
Переглядів 3206 років тому
THe ring wants to be thick at the top in the crown where the stones are to be set and then thinner in the band with a nice symetry. The indexing feature of the lathe allows us to find the center of the crown, move to the start of the thinner section and take cuts right around the band and stop on the other side of the thicker crown section.

Here we cut the ring band in with indexed plunge cuts on the lathe. We find this much quicker and easier than lots of marking out and filing by hand.

Ahh I meant to post that on the texturing video oops.
Hey mate, I was just wondering what the pot you heat your wax in is? Also, can you texture harder thicker waxes like this, I use a green carvers wax. If so, at what temperature? Cheers.✌️
Lovey job so simple that it hard to just think of if you get what I’m trying to say (no) 😂 👍🫵
Think it would light and work using like a 20lbs propane tank?
Flash back arrestor?
Thank you
Blast the jet with the butane nozzle 🤷🏼 problem solved
I was thinking if there might be a rubber pipe cap that can be fitted on the back end to keep dust and dirt from accumulating on the refill valve? Maybe most of the contaminates are external and not from the fuel source?
Will these torches work with silver solder that melts at 1325 deg. Fahrenheit?
I've lost the disc while trying to clean it. Years after, I've managed to make a new one out of soft drink aluminium can. I measured the hole in the torch, then I took a belt hole puncher (pliers) got the appropriate size and made a small disk, took a needle and made a very small hole in the disk, works perfect.
Hi. I guess that I lost some O-ring of mine and I get just lightning like a candle. Can you take a look into the valve or burner to check it out and tell me please? Thanks!
After watching your video, i bought from online this pen torch just for fun... looks cute, i have a Mapp gas torch for refrigeration... thanks
Usa gas butano?
Great video mate. Wot the connection on the cooking can? I have had much luck with those torches. Had one purchase years ago and worked great. Purchase 2 a coupe years ago. One for brother. His worked and mine didn't work from new. Good tips mate. Cheers Graham.
Thank you . Ive had one of these since 1990. Cleaned and soon to be Upgraded !
خوب توضیح می دهی اما من انگلیسی متوجه نمی شم چونکه بلد نیستم 😊ای دل غافل
That's why it's cheap then it's 💩 basically isn't it 🤣
I got to get me a few of these
Nice thank you
Any plans on making a oven with programmable PID for resin burnout schedules?
Way too slow to achieve a quality finish. Use the devices that connect to a Fordam flex shaft
Also, that is so damnn sketchy. No flashback arrestors….no hose clamps…..non gas rated hose…. modified butane torch. Jesus Christ.
Go to a smoke shop because they sell x2-x10 filtered butane cans. I’ve had mine running for about 2 years now with no issues. The more filtered the better….it will be a bit pricey.
Thanks !
omg thank you! This little torch has been nothing but a problem since I got it and your video helped me solve all the issues I was having with it.
i have one question were did you purchase the adapter for the bottle ,? what's it called ill buy on Amazon
great advice don't even have to try it personally 1st to know it would work..thx for the informative video
Hi Thank you for this valuable video. Is the wax gun you use is designed for this purpose or general wax gun ? What is the name of the gun ?please
Is it not necessary to use flux?
Sir I am a wax product factory and I have the wax you need. I hope you can use our products, I can send you samples, we have the best quality and can meet your needs
Put the camera in macro mode. Thank you! Greetings, Jeff
Where can I buy the hose?
Hi, where is i can get that purple jar? What product is it?
Thank you! My jet die some days ago... Now I know how to fix it! 👍
Es interesante en castellano se podrá
Hey can you make a video on how to make a solderig torch tip that can fit on any butane torch or just how to make one period? If its possible i mean thank you
Great video .. very helpful thank you!
Yo tengo un microtorch y la flama ya no sale fina si no demasiado gruesa ...por favor dígame que le pasó al soplete
So I will cut straight through the back of the pencil tube to insert it into the silicone tube but do I have to remove anything else from inside the pencil tube or that's it
Very smart idea ,thank you for sharing.alexandria Egypt
great idea.. thankyou for sharing
Can you lower the flame any lower
Ok what is the blue cylinder for, is it a safety buffer between the vacuum pump. So if the investment breaks
how long does the burnout process take?
???????????///
You could have used a vice grip to hold the neck instead.
Dude, you need to blow torch your fingernails. LOL.
Any broken AC or Fridge, or Freezer has a good compressor you ca use for this. Please just empty freon first in an enviromentaly friendly way, and youll have a free vaccum pump
Very nice indeed…. Not seen that one before… just discovered your channel… look forward to enjoying going through your vids…thanks …nick
