Pouring molten metal inside a seashell - WHAT HAPPENS? - Experimental metal casting at home - DIY

In this video I will be pouring molten aluminum into a seashell in an attempt to create a perfect casting of the internal structure. I started with a Marlin Spike seashell and made a simple sand mold. I then melted aluminum in my DIY home foundry and poured it inside the shell. I then broke the casting out of the shell and cleaned it up. This was a fun project and I may revisit this idea in the future. ▬▬▬ Affiliate links to items used in this video ▬▬▬ The best polishing wheels ever Metal polish I used (Simichrome) Some of my favorite hand files The die grinder I use
