How To - Make And Cast Brass

Me and my friend made a video showing you how to make brass, which is copper + zinc, not copper + tin. Anyway, after we make brass, we show you how to cast it, and of course casting it into any symbol you want!

Man oh man- I cannot believe you lifted a glowing crucible with just gloves and pliers! Cool vid, but man, be careful!!!

I've worked in the foundry for 30 years, I never heard music like this though. Making something like this we would use greensand and it would be quite boring, never heard music like this though. Through ten's of thousands of moulds I've made and poured throughout those thirty years, I've never poured ONE without a faceshield and sleeves. If you want to end up looking like Nikki Lauda, keep up the bad work, still, never heard music like that though!

@bohun28 well,those "croat yugoslavians" arent yugoslavian at all (we are talking about socialistic yugoslavia). they were from kingdom of yugoslavia and they were called Ustaše and those from serbia were called Chetniks...

[Timurv1234]

@bohun28 now,now, lets not talk shit about our leaders, you don't see me talking about Barack Obama, or somebody else, which ever country you are from... Tito did bring freedom, and if you didn't live in yugoslavia,you cant know it,which is natural...but all that masacre accured after the fall of yugoslavia and 12 years after the death of tito.

@bohun28 I ain't talking bout Stalin and Lenin, I am talking bout comunism and capitalism, and yes,it's well known about Stalin, but swastikas, i am always telling people that if hitler used swastika, doesn't mean he invented it. But still today swastika is used by many as a representation of nazism...

[bohun28]

@Timurv1234

And the historical record is very clear, Lenin and Stalin have a lot of blood on their hands!! Stalin especially!! He murdered more people than Hitler did!! And yet to use his symbol today is perfectly ok, even cool, but to use the Swastika (even if it is reversed, which is an ancient Vedic symbol for peace!!!) it is seen as evil and is illegal in some places (Germany, Austria).

@Timurv1234

Oh and then of course let's not forget the SS Divisions from Yugoslavia and how much Croatians especially collaborated with the Nazis!! SOME Yugoslavs fought very bravely though, I know that, but I am simply saying that is not the entire picture!!

I know there were some positives in Communism, but mostly just a lack of freedom. And anyway, my comment was in relation to the Hammer and Sickle, which is a symbol that originated in USSR!!

@Timurv1234

No, of course there was no racism or hatred, that's why the Serbs, Croats and Bosnians have been massacring each other since the 1990s, they all love each other!!

Tito and Stalin split up, that doesn't mean Tito provided freedom, any more than Gomulka did in Poland!!

[Timurv1234]

@bohun28 And one thing:As you know,slavery is considered a thing of ancient history, feudalism a thing of middle ages,capitalism a thing of modern history,and socialism a thing of contemporary history...Comunism is still not reached by dull people of the present.And all this comunism we are talking about is actually socialism,and we are still in capitalistic society.and if you thing capitalism is better than soicalism and comunism than you are american and we all know what americans are

[Timurv1234]

@bohun28I will write some things people had there:When you went to give blood,they would give you a sandwich and a movie ticket,there was not racism,crime was strongly punished,and yet there was all the freedom you could have.Tell me,how could Yugoslavia be like Soviets?You do remember Tito-Stalin split,do you?We fought off the German in same time the"Great"US did,and lets face it,we are a lot smaller.Just because"The Banks"&"The Capitalists"say comunism is bad,it doesn't mean its true!
