Great Show!!! I have some new things to try out now. I thought I was the only one who used spoons and metal scales for foundry work

Can't wait for part 2

Excellent doubleboost!

I too am eagerly awaiting the pour.

Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

Didn't catch it, is it because of your time? or do molds have to 'age' and dryout before pouring?

Thanks again,
Chazz

Great video....

Although I could watch part 1 on the forum, when the video is finished it gives a list, including part 2 of the casting. However, when i click on it, I get a message in Utube that the video is protected by UMG copyright and not available to me.

I've had this happen before, and with forum stuff, which surely are not copyrighted and certainly not music or oother such protected stuff.

What gives????

Top job!

I missed this first time around... just watched both vid's. very interesting.. I liked th part in the first one just after the brake cleaner was lit

Is it just my dodgy computer or is there a sound issue on the second vid? Anyway, looks like it all came out well in the end..... Even if it was another incarnation you showed in the second vid. (what happened to the first one?)
Rectangular riser instead of the round silicone tube version, and taken directly off the body of the casting.... Looks like it worked well though from the end stills

How many did you pour before you got to the one that passed he grade?

I think iw was 4 in aluminium and 4 in bronze to get a good one
Hhe mould in the first one was a disaster the metal cooled off in the gate

Thanks - great video and tutorial on casting.

Hi John

Really great videos. Just out of interest, I understand it`ll be different for different metals but roughly how long does it actually take from lighting the furnace to the metal being molten and ready to pour with ally?

Chris

doubleboost · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2011, 04:47:21 PM »

Hi
Chris
From dead cold to molten with alloy about 20 minutes
You could push it a bit harder but you just waste gas
Bronze takes about 40 minutes

Now that was a good day's casting John; the cylinder came out great

Kind regards, Arnold

gingerneer · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2011, 04:03:46 AM »

WOW! Fantastic stuff, i have been playing around with sand casting but only casting in pewter, don't yet have the safety equipment and big burner to have a go with Ali or Brass.

Cracking job John great video.

What loco are the castings for ?. Looks a big one

Great bit of maching of the cylinders at the end of vid 2

Stew

doubleboost · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2011, 05:52:59 PM »

Hi
Stew
The cylinder is going to be ether a marine colum engine or a mine engine
could even be a mill engine
one thing for certain it will be big
