My friend Aby, Silver Wolf poured some silver bars today. I made a quick video.

Very cool, would love to see the finished product.

Often thought about doing this...just never invested in the equipment...It looks like fun, but I would want to do more than bars....some sort of casting, but more intricate. Just what I do not need, another hobby.... Cheers, RickO

This is one of the bars from Saturday. Every one he poured came out like this! I’m guessing it was the air? He’s temporarily at a location near a large lake, somewhat high elevation and it was kinda cool out, upper 60’s. They all crystallized like this, and BLUE! I’ve never seen anything like it, at least not this intense:

if he can make more like that I'll take one.

asheland

I'll mention it to him. I didn't get one and I'm already starting to regret it!

This guy...Silver Dragon has also an interesting poured bar.

I thought so to....that's why I purchased a few and I'm ok with the price, considering all the work involved.

I suspect he's not pre-heating his molds.

Most likely not getting it up to high enough temps.....but the blue look is super neato.

more cooling until more blue are made!

It almost reminds me of Heisenberg's blue meth! Like a trademark.
