[Maluhia11]

[francescafinejewelry]

This was a very enjoyable video.

I also love how you always work both rings together, including casting them in the same batch!

[byzzers]

Fun. I didn't expect the bell jar (to remove bubbles, I assume?) or the centrifuge.

Nice Video, but concerned about no safety masks during investment process. Investment powder is hazardous to inhale and they should be using masks to protect their lungs. Otherwise good representation of lost wax casting.

This is an incredible process, I am amazed1

[HarlequinPink]

This is truly an amazing form of art! Great job.

[MrEhud77]

really beautiful rings! are there any good books on the market that could help me learn this process? I know very little about investment casting or jewelery making but have always wanted to learn. I'm unemployed now so I might as well learn!

[mikebowman737]

wow that was a lot of work. how did it take your from making the wax mold to the final polished ring?

[ragemanchoo82]

I wish I could have got a better look at the original ring. :)

Light green injection wax? How does it compare to the red and light blue stuff? The shop I work at uses the red for wax injection. Its alright but I wish it made sharper edges.

Love the drain spigot on the side of the injection pot. Good idea! We once had a pot like that, sans spigot. How old is that one?

[walkermetalsmiths]

The light green wax is from Geisswein. No longer available. I like it better, but when I run out I will be bask to the NY blue wax.

Bought the wax pot second hand. The shop it came from was set up in the late 1980s, but it may not have been new when they got it.

NY blue? Is that the light blue injection wax?

[erich4328]

I have dental lab experience, this is something to do which can bring much satisfaction

[tbenefi33]

The same tools used in dental lab school.

That cool thanks for sharing.

[TheMedievalMan]

Impressive old style craftsmanship.

[tinrorobot]

what was that crank mandrel tool (what does it do?) that you were using in between measuring the ring sizes?
