Casting a Huge Hollow MIRROR POLISHED, Lacework ROPE DART out of GOLDEN BRASS | 跳舞死亡 | Dancing Death

Описание: In This video Karcsi made a mostly hollow, lacework rope dart or sheng biao (繩鏢) head out of golden brass, also known as Prince's metal or imitation gold, after numerous failed attempts.

This build was Karcsi's first time working with brass as the main material for the build so it was a massive learning journey mostly through trial and error.

First Karcsi tried forging the rope dart head out of an old brass tap but after learning about brass' tendency to work harden, losing all of its ductility and malleability, turning extremely brittle, and then Karcsi ultimately breaking the piece, he decided to go the casting route instead.

After multiple failed attempts with two-part molds, that Karcsi wanted to use in order to go around the issue of him not having the equipment to melt the positive out of the mold for lost-wax casting, he eventually went with a design that allowed him to remove the clay positive from the mold cold, without having to melt it. However realizing he couldn't consistently get the brass to casting temperature with his makeshift forge prompted Karcsi to buy a smelting furnace from Vevor (not sponsored).



With the new furnace Karcsi managed to cast the rope dart head, achieving a lacework surface texture by overheating the brass and essentially (boiling) the zinc out of the alloy while casting it.

After bringing the dart to a true mirror polish and adding some golden brass rings imported from China, a large vivid red flag, and a 3,3 meter long pure cotton white rope, after 3 years in the making The Dancing Death build was ready to be exhibited at the 2025 Pünkösd Exhibition.
