Over 200 kg (440 lb) Aluminium Casting of a Meat Ant Nest - Iridomyrmex purpureus - 2015/10/19

Meat ants are Australia's most successful ants, and provide a valuable service ecologically.
So lets just kill them off right? After all, god gave us domination over all creatures on the planet, so by proxy god gave us permission to kill everything we want to.

What a load of crap.
Glad you are not a dominate force in MY life, I'd hardly know what to expect, you not giving a shit about things given to your care and all......

Cool,👍😎🇺🇸 !

That is a wonderful casting.

Aussies are like Texans. Go BIG or gome home.

This is a beautiful nest casting. Worthy of exhibition in a museum. New to the channel and just watched your most recent project for the Brisbane museum. This one should have been there!

The concept of a frame and the re-bar is brilliant... BUT it looks like someone did the welding without cleaning the blue paint off the square tubing. THAT is Not how to do it. I was surprised it was a success at all.
-- BUT how much will this sell for?

You did an amazing job.

Just gorgeous!👍🏻

That is incredibly MASSIVE and it took that much aluminum to complete the task too. Nice work to all who participated in this venture.

I will never tire of watching these videos, I did not know until today professional ant nest casting was even a thing, well done.

Well, at least you have controled the ant problem.

That was amazing, great look a great Metropolis

fantastic job you guys know what you are doing.

Tough as fuck mate.

Look at the ants desperately running around, witnessing horrors that are absolutely beyond their comprehension.

F*ck ants.

another ant holocaust.

where are the ants now?

Incredible work 👍

Why does it sound like everything in Australia wants to eat you? Meat ants? Really….

Poor ants, thousands of them, all suffering hideous ghastly deaths, burned alive by molten metal, just to make a sculpture for people to gawk, oblivious to the holocaust they wrought!

Small ants roaming around holes

In Russia ants pour molten aluminum on you, then invade Ukraine.

Strange how its empty in the center. Dont know if something was in the way or thats how the ants did it

yikes that is a big ass nest

“What’s it like know your art contains the souls of your victims and inspiration for said art?”
I can hear em now.

Ant lives matter

It looks like one of those space cities in that cartoon jetsons

This is not what i expected when i searched "fill all holes".

i always wonder how many ants are in these lol

What is done with these castings

Suxs to be an ant these days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Most of the video is sped up like crazy, then we barely get a glimpse of the end result. What gives?

Why?

Mate! Phenomenal!!

I wonder if the ants had rejected the jab?

I hope someone casts your home with molten metal and then calls it art!

On one hand, I would love to pour a hill like that. On the other hand I'm so glad we don't have hills like that here. lol

If they perform such vital environmental work why destroy the nest? Something like that could be a danger to children/livestock

If I did this I’d call myself Rick Dross

The first four minutes of this video is more boring than watching paint dry.

Amazing!👍👍👍

Skip to 4 minute mark. Well thought out recovery.

What terribly annoying 'music'.

Just, "WOW!".

Fascinating. I’ve watched a fair few ant casting vids, and this one is by far the largest one.

Awesome, beautiful, rare.

I would much rather hear you guys talk about what you’re doing rather than that stupid music that’s playing

the shape is really cool, its like some of those undersea plant/coral colonies

This is most humaine channel, I ´v seen. What could be more indicative at our species , than abusing and destroying and killing parts of nature, just for fun and personal satisfactory, possibly some monetary gain.

Your gear & technique is the most impressive I've ever seen regarding ant casting..the lift system on that truck is wild! The finished product looked fantastic..well done guys!
