First Casting Pour Live Stream! 6:00PM Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021

[Kmcleod]

Hey everyone! I’d like to invite you to join a live-stream of Hive13’s first castings being poured with our new investment casting equipment!

I’ll be running the burnout cycle to cast 2 flasks Sunday, starting in the morning, with the intention of starting a live stream around 6:00PM to actually melt the metal and make the pours.

I hope anyone interested will join in and watch!

On Sunday, you can join with Google Meet here: https://meet.google.com/cot-qtah-jfo

I’ll be doing two melts and pours, one bronze and one silver for the two flasks containing the waxes shown below.

Thanks!

Bump for interest! I’ll be doing this tomorrow evening.

I have started the burnout cycle on the flasks, they have to run 2 hours at 300f, 2 hours at 700f, 3 hours at 1350f, then hold at 1000f till casting time (at least 1 hour). So it looks like we are one track to cast just slightly later than the 6:00 on streaming time. I’ll start streaming at 6:00, we can talk about the wax carving process and tools, then the investment process and tools, and I can answer any questions before we start to melt and pour. I look forward to seeing whoever decides to tune in!
