Hello steemers. Today i have some more copper pours to show you. The pours i did this time are supposed to be 1 ounce copper bars.

I bought this graphite mold when i first started melting precious metals. I used it before and didn't have enough heat to fill the mold fully. Now let's see what i can do with more heat.

Here's my results.

I think it's a good start but i still need some more practice. They look kinda dirty and wrinkly. The dirtiness is probably impurities from the metal or my old crucible. Having better torches, i should consider some new equipment and supplies. Soon i will be ordering a new Clean crucible and some different size graphite molds. Hopefully this will help make a better looking bar.
Time to take a closer look at my work.

I know that they are not exactly perfect, but i'm still proud of my work so far. I'm still leaning and experimenting with different processes to get better. Hope you enjoy another attempt at me making my own poured pieces. Thanks for stopping by and viewing. I am a proud member of the #steemsilvergold and ssg-community@ssg-community.
