Oh. It's you. Welcome back. Sit back and enjoy some cake while I make some companion cube pendants.

I found some of my grandpa's belt buckles, so clearly I needed one of my own. I'm experimenting with no commentary on this one, let me know if that works for you.

Welcome back, Kraken Crew! Today I'm doing something a little different: remaking my first ever successful cast! I had a lot of fun with this one, and I like to think my skills have improved in the....what, six, seven years since I started. Let me know what you think below!

Welcome back, Kraken Crew! Sorry for the gap in videos, between a burst pipe in my basement, a short vacation, a prolonged birthday, and a bout of illness I've been hard pressed to find time to make this video. Believe it or not, it's been in production for nearly 2 months! Wild! If you want a music-less version and just want to hear the work sounds, watch here: https://youtu.be/a6fNdLQQFtk Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: UWZAK0H8RREP35NR

Welcome, Master Builders! Do you love Lego? Of course you do, because everyone loves Lego! I'm going to cast some in aluminum bronze for kicks and giggles. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: X2BE34W1ERY50T

Welcome back, Kraken Crew! This week I made a leather stamp to preserve some of my grandfather's carving. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): http://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: 1OSCFYZWXBQQKI3W

Oh hey, welcome back! I made more stuff. If you want to make along with me, you can download the print files here! https://www.tinkercad.com/things/cXIXcedVFQU Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: 1OSCFYZWXBQQKI3W

I love ambigrams. What is an ambigram? Glad you asked! According to Google, an ambigram is a calligraphic design that has several interpretations as written. The term was coined by Douglas Hofstadter in 1983. Most often, ambigrams appear as visually symmetrical words. When flipped, they remain unchanged, or they mutate to reveal another meaning. I made some ambigram coins and cast them in scrap brass. Enjoy! Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: 1OSCFYZWXBQQKI3W

Welcome back, Kraken Crew! Let's take something from last week's video and make it bigger, because bigger is always better! Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: TLSKEJFWWTIUXB

Welcome back, Kraken Crew! Today I'm casting some skull pendants. They were originally designed as something else (stay tuned for future videos for more details), but I like these little guys as... little guys. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Sorry for the break in videos. Between slow chemistry and computer issues, this one took longer than normal. Anyway, enjoy the melting goodness. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: NXPTDJXUI0Q8XBVH

My mother in law wanted some coins with her family crests on them. You don't say no to your mother in law, especially when she's as nice as mine!

I've been saving my soda tabs for a long time, and it's finally time to put them to use! Stick around to the end of the video for a little surprise! Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: X2BE34W1ERY50T

Have you ever been walking down the street and thought to yourself "Gee, I wish there was a tangible example of my hobby I can use to direct people to my YouTube channel!" No? Just me? Huh. Well, anyway, I challenged myself to make something with a heckuva lot of detail that had to come out just right in order to work. Does it work? Gee, I hope so! Sorry for the break in videos; it's been cold and wet/snowy, and I've been sick. Still AM sick, if we're being honest, but I had a mighty urge to do some melting.

Let's melt some brass and cast a knuckle duster. I love nautical imagery, so I designed this to look like an anchor. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: HUX2BE34W1ERY50T

This coin design is an oldie, but it's one of my favorites. The crown, trident, and gear are all symbols of The Kraken. Shout out to IyaKnowsBest from Etsy. I always get my refractory mortar from them because their service is excellent. My order is always in the mail by the next day (this time it was mailed 20 minutes after I made the purchase!) and they are extremely helpful if you have any questions about their product.
