Hi guys!
So I finally bit the bullet, bought some gear and silver to melt.
To tell you the truth I was quite scared of using the torch. And before my first pour the only other time I used a torch before was to glaze the crucible, as per instructions I received via a 'Skully's corner' video! :}
but no matter how daunting the torch was to me the attraction to pour my own silver overcame the fear.
I have watched countless hours of pouring videos on you tube, mostly Mr Zeke, Mr and Mrs Vulcan, Pit bullion, Hi ho, The bear and Ag Ender, all the Metals Mafia guys really!!. The fun these guys seemed to have when pouring was a big draw to me, and the art they produced was fantastic, I just had to try it out for myself! and so I did!
Here's the link to my You tube video of my very first pour!
Well I guess I'll leave you there.
take care and bye for now!

Thank you!
:D
Looks like a fine bar to me. Congrats on giving it a go and I'm sure you will do great things
cheers pit!
That is awesome. Been thinking about trying it. Thank u for sharing.
you should give it a go!
You have talent. I will sub you on YT as well (I am Goudhaantje on YT)
thank you you have a sub in return!
One ounce .999 silver pours are so cool.
they are cool, mine turned out to be just over 2 ozs. I got a bit flustered and kept saying 1oz, I guess it was the Adrenalin from playing with molten metals that fried my brain on that one!
NICE JOB MATE!! :)
Cheers Owen, I just noticed your avatar pic is Rab C.? 👍🏼 Thanks for the resteem too my friend!!
Holy shit!! I never realised how much I look like him! That's bad! Another 15 years and we'll be twins
you're kiddin' me right?
I never noticed it before I started using my laptop, I used my mobile before for steemit.
then I saw it yesterday and thought cool Owen has a Rab C. Nesbitt avatar!
If thats a picture of you whats on your head because it looks like Rab C's bandage to me! Maybe its because of the filters/gold you have over the pic but I would put money on that being Rab! :)
Do you mean Rab c nesbit lol? It's actually me! :-)
It’s so cool to see you pouring now. We will definitely have to do a trade someday! If you have any questions please ask. Have a great weekend my friend 👍🏼🥓🍺
I just tried your signature piece!! epic fail, lol!
I need to buy some larger rings! been going through the kids toy boxes looking for stuff to cast :}
we will definitely do a trade pal just as soon as ive got a bit better and my own signature piece to trade you!👍🏼
Great pour and the finished product looks beautiful! Came here since you were featured in yesterdays article by @silvergoldbotty!
thanks for stopping by, i appreciate the support!
It is a great looking bar. Have you had time to pour more? I enjoyed this post thanks.
Mr V! I have just been messing about practicing with the delft clay I have. I am waiting on larger rings to arrive so I can try to cast more larger subjects! so far I've done a few lego men and a little soldier for my boy. I'm have a little bit of trouble with a piece I thought would be cool, I can get the main body pretty good but it has a long thin tail and that's the troublesome point! but i will just have to keep practicing,I'll get there in the end!
Looking good! I am glad you gave it a try and are continuing to pour. The hot torch and hot silver is what kept me from trying for the longest time too. If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to help with what I can!
thank you for the support mrs v. I'm waiting on 100mm rings arriving! I have the 60mm rings with the delft I bought as a kit but you cant cast much in that size!:(
I'm really just playing around at the moment! Trying to get Clinty's signature piece failing every time, lol!! I think I'll figure it out tho' :) got a few ideas but not really enough time to do much at the moment(kids summer break here!) I'll get in touch, most likely the end of next month, want to get myself a MR and MRS V piece!!
