chill on the camera man he did a good job, he didn't need to get closer for us to see the bubbles well. anyways, were do i get investment i need some for aluminum
My math must be off then. It will be a strat type guitar...maybe a V but this is for just the block of metal to start carving on. Lets see the dimensions are about 12wX18hX 2 in thick. So that comes out to 432 in ^3. 19008g = c 42 lbs. Seems kinda heavy for aluminum but then again, I never see any bigger than a bag of cans. :) Where do you procure aluminum? The recyclers dont seem to know their own purpose here.
You wouldn't happen to know where I can find the weight of aluminum? I would like to make a strat like guitar body but I can't seem to find out how much a peice of metal (copper or aluminum) would weigh for about 2 cubic feet of metal.
The density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm^3, or 44g/in^3. Since two cubic feet is 3456 in^3, the mass would be 152 kilograms, or about 335 lbs. I suspect that you're overestimating the actual displaced volume of a guitar. It'd guess that the real displacement is closer to 100-200 cubic inches (or about 10 - 20 lbs).
A solid block of metal a foot on a side is a pretty big thing, and definitely weighs a lot. :)
it will work better when u get a more stady flow of bronze
the first part of the cast was drop like and that will cool to quik
overall a good yob done

Was that a cold pour? The finished part seems to have voids.

I think you could have poured this in sand. Might have been easier.

I got mine, 25kg, from Seattle Findings & Supply. Budget casting supply is an online retailer that might work out for ya.

Industrial supply houses, like mcmaster-carr (google 'em), are good places to go. It'll be fairly expensive.

good work from the cameraman in that he does not talk and add annoying/stupid comments like many others.
