  gold melts at just under 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, most ovens wont go quite THAT high, hence why he was using oxyacetylene (well, looked like oxyacetylene anyways)

  Vacuum suction works much better than the old spin bucket and it’s much safer!
  And they arent that much more money.

  Awesome thanks a lot! You should make another video and put some diamonds or other stones on a ring.

  i dont think it will ever get hot enough to liquify gold or silver. you could make a small furn cheap run on propane or a friend showed me how to melt silver and gold in a microwave if you want that expense of high electric bills. Caution you need to make some extra items to cover the the metel when melting it also i would not reuse the microwave to feed your family.Furn. cost 400 made and delivered on ebay.

  I would like to know how you actually make the wax moulding for the casting. I have a ram head ring thats about 80g, and a skull thats about 24g, I am very curious as to how they cast a ram head.

  What is that “specific ratio” you talked about?
  For 18kt gold?
  For 14kt gold?
  For silver?

  I’ve read that it’s not safe to cast using scrap jewelry. because reusing materials makes the new jewelry much weaker & prone to cracking.
  What if I only use .925 Sterling as scrap jewelry as my materials for casting new jewelry? Is it safe?

  @AndreTwin When you cast it all the impurities and crap will float to the TOP(sprue) of the casting, thats why u always need to use alot more metal for casting then is necesary to fill the wax-model hole. Without a sprue your casted ring or w/e will indeed be prone…
  The Jewelry company I worked at re-used gold 3 times max, but everytime they added some ”new” gold/alloy to the scrap, for the right result.
