Melting Brass - Casting Brass Knuckles

In this video, I take some failed brass castings and melt them down at 1,800°F to try the process one more time. You'll see the entire journey from melting the scrap in the furnace to pouring the molten metal into a custom-made sand mold. Stick around until the end, where I break down exactly how I created the mold using a CNC-carved foam pattern and traditional green sand casting techniques.
