Скачать или смотреть How Much Copper In A 50ft Extension Cord? | Metal Casting

I stripped down a 50ft extension cord for the copper and weighed up the exact amount that I got from it all.

A lot of grinding, cutting and polishing is required to get these casts into an acceptable state even with a perfect pour.
No cast is ever perfect, they all come with defects even in industrial settings.

These projects take days or even weeks for bigger ones.

All of the material that I use is from scrap that I take apart from around my area.
Anything that I can't use like plastics and rubbers, I recycle at our local transfer station.
