Hi FeatheredGems .... hey, thanks so very much for taking the time to shoot & edit these videos and upload 'em. I have been doing just this (waxes-to-castings) very thing for several years as a hobbyist, started in the mid '90s (a decade before YouTube....) through YouTube, you have shown me ways that I can improve what I do ... by saving me time, saving me costs, and showing me some more options on equipment ..... thanks for being a contributing member of the Global Village -- A+++

Great series of videos, I now understand the complete investment casting process.

Beats burning your fingers polishing mass idems.

Nice documentation of the process! I got a little tired of the classical and having to read the blue/white text, instead of voice overs, but it was worth pressing through to learn how this was done, thanks a bunch. I'm really surprised that none of that process is re-usable.. the wax, the molds.. all of it had to be redone for another batch. Would there be a way with newer tools/techniques to do this more quickly, yet at the same small scale?

Congratulations on a great video presentation (I especially enjoyed the credits :D ) I found your video set when researching ceramic shell casting for a project I'm working on.....I may very well use refractory plaster now!
Those charms are a fantastic creation...be proud of what you do, :beer:

is putting the pieces in the vibrating tublar absolutely necessary or essential?

Well...if you don't tumble them somehow, either with a vibrating tumbler or a rotary tumbler, you end up having to hand finish and polish each one separately. That's fine if you're only making a few things at once. But when you're casting a large number like I was when I made this video, that's too much hand work and hands-on time per piece. It runs up the cost. too much. Tumblers save time and money (and your hands--hours of hand polishing will wreck your hands after a while!).

Great Presentation!
What makes you prefer vacuum casting vs that spin casting? Just curious as I got hold of a nice pump recently 8).

LOL I prefer vacuum casting because that's what I got when I bought out an existing casting shop. I've never done centrifugal casting.
