Foundry's concentration of power in Bitcoin does not fail to impress the unwary and the unwary, the company concentrates a third of the blocks that are mined marks an undesirable concentration of power

It seems like I just hit SEND on my last post yesterday, but the dates on my feed don't lie. I thought I'd take a moment and share some of what I've been up to. There's no time to waste, so let's get right

Hi my friends! Making new something , fabrication shop! Thanks!!

Foundry(casting of Aluminum billet inside patterns to form a desired shape)

If you have an hour to spare, I show off the entire process, from 3D printing through finishing the castings, for making rings out of silicon bronze. Once again, BitChute was less-than-cooperative, hence

As I promised yesterday, I finally cast the rings in bronze, which is my first attempt at making proper jewellery. I had previously shared pictures of the part tree here in the 3D Print Community, and

This is a huge improvement to the casting process, which means I think I'm done playing with tin for now, and can comfortably move on to bronze. My only regret is that I didn't film any part of this run,

This looks a good bit worse than the last one, doesn't it? The excess metal, called "flash," is the result of cracks in the mould (or from a mould seam, as the term is usually applied). As I

You may recall that I recently set up a miniature foundry. Specifically, I set it up on 13 January, and that was the first day that I attempted to upload a video of the process to BitChute. It is now 28

This particular casting run provides some valuable information needed to improve the general process. Granted, my setup is somewhat limited at the moment, so not every alternative method is open to me

I'm trying something new with this post, since this is just as much about technology as it is about my do-it-yourself projects. In fact, this wouldn't really qualify as DIY unless I had built my own equipment.

No, no, this isn't it. Those photos are later in this post. The cement was taking way too long to dry, which is my fault for leaving it in a cold, damp garage for an entire night. Still, it was still wet

The wait for wax rods and other supplies is of little consequence, as there are other preparations to be made. Today, that meant coating the inside of the crucible furnace. The furnace is lined with ceramic

Right, so my recent posts have been complete nonsense, but that's what mental agitation produces. Two days ago, I returned to my 3D print / thermoforming shop to begin setting up my miniature foundry!

Got a project I'm working on that needs me to cast some aluminum. It's a great day for a pour!
