My professor had my class watch you for a lecture assignment. This video was humorous and enlightening! The process is really cool to watch, and the end result is satisfying.

There is almost no you-tube video without negative comments. Some think that is normal, some get irritated by these regular criticizers. I for one do understand what this guy is talking about, but I have no experience whatsoever. I appreciate the effort and find the content very useful.

This probably taught me more about practical metallurgy than my senior elective metallurgy class in college. Thanks, from a materials scientist.

You helped a 1st year high schooler thanks

This basic foundry was a part of my 7th grade industrial arts class. I still have the sweet American Eagle from recycled aluminum cans we poured. Had a 2 man pouring pole with a sizeable "bucket" of liquid alu men ium. Poured all 14 sand boxes in one swipe. English teacher was on the tender end. Hammerschmit The Shop Master Teacher barking orders. Best instructor I ever had. RIP Big Al.

Thank you! Watched this while on quarantine at home as a pre-study for our Foundry and Casting class. Am excited to do this back in school when the quarantine is over. Sending love from a mechanical engineering student!

Thank you sir! I am learning this so I can cast ancient tools and weapons.

I just saw this video and subscribed. Thanks for the lessons you taught.

This was so educational, thank you a lot mate. Our teacher shared this to us during a lesson and we learned something new today yes.

I like the fact that you answer people on here, great upload.

I have been watching your videos for a while and I really enjoy them, my DT teacher has just told me to watch this vid, shows you how good you are 👍

Im casting a invention idea I had for a gun part. So glad I found your channel. Great video.

I love seeing good, homemade videos like this that explain in clear terms how to do stuff. Thanks for making this video!

Really helpful. I’m doing engineering and the last time we did sand casting was like 7 months ago. Really helped refresh my memory. Thank you 🤩

Thanks for this great video. I was able to show it to my wife so she could see what I used to do as a job. You got the whole process shown really nicely.

Wow! Thanks for the demonstration! I need to make something with aluminium and I think that casting it in sand is what I want to do. Great to see how it was done.

thank you so much for being one of the only on here to actually go step by step as to how to start and accomplish such project!

I have learnt more in one video of 14 minutes than in a 2h lecture.. thank you

Thank you so much! my entire life, I’ve wanted to learn how to make things. Specifically, everything. But when you’re a girl, they hide certain knowledge. When I wanted to take auto shop or wood shop in high school, guidance, counselor told me “you are on more of an academic track.“ like I’m never going to need to know how to maintain my vehicle or understand when a mechanic is being less than ethical about my needed repairs. I’m so glad I started the search that landed me on your channel.

great video. u made whole process so clear. thank u . may god bless u

You really say things in a simple way so it can be understood, and I thank you for that. You don't just talk to fill space on film. I hate when someone goes off on talking about some other thing,when I want them to get to the point. You were very helpful and thanks again sir.

This is about as simple as you can get. Good stuff! I use to work in a casting plant that made railroad wheels and the frame work for the wheels that mass produce them. I worked in the pattern shop. Very interesting job and I learned a lot. Mass production is the same as here, other than machines doing mostly all the work.

I made myself a forge to melt aluminum, and my dad wanted me to cast a trench knife. This video just explains how i can take my 3d object and cast it correctly. Thank you!!

Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it. I watched many shorts on youtube about sand casting, and though watching the process itself is very satisfying, I was intrigued and wanted to know why some steps are done. Now I know the principle, so thanks a lot!

Finally someone to show everything from start to finish with the names of everything ~ ty!!

Hi From Oz, Great to have someone that can give such info in an easy informative manner, Thank you . Love the accent.

Thanks very much for a great video describing the process. I went on a 'grinding wheels' course in 1981, the training was a requirement for classroom teachers delivering metalwork classes. I still remember the holes in the roof above the grinding machine in the training centre. They'd decided to leave the holes there to reinforce the consequences of misuse of high RPM wheels. With bench grinders, it's important not to grind soft metals such as aluminium, copper etc as the metal clogs the wheel and causes it to become unbalanced, then potentially break up and part company with the drive spindle. Over the years, I've developed a technique for grinding my wood turning chisels, which involves standing to the side of the grinding wheel - out of the line of fire :) :)

I see that Henry sticker in the back. I bought a Henry for Christmas. X Model, .357/38 w/sidegate and threaded barrel. Its so fun shooting 38s suppressed. Ive been reloading for about 15 years and have a bucket full of spent primers and bad brass. Im getting ready to finally melt it all down for stock for the mill and lathe. Cheers from Idaho.

I was wanting to add something special to my projects and immediately thought of metallurgy, but had no idea what I was doing. Thank you so much for all the information.

3rd hand is exactly what I need, had actually planned to make my own instead of buying one for $10 from ebay. Thanks for posting.

Amazing work Sir, Respect from Mechanical Engineering Student from Pakistan.

I wound up in a shop class in high school and we learned how to do this. Thats been a good while back so this was a nice relearning experience.😊 great video!

Just got a few items together for my first try at casting, thanks for taking the time to put up this video

love the Mardi Gras reference , I'm from New Orleans so its spot on haha.

Well done! Was worth my time, unlike most KZfaq videos, so thank you!

Exceptional dimensional accuracy without the final finishing.. Nice work

thank you sir this has helped me alot in my university course Love from Dubai

Thanks man, this has really helped me with my engineering a level assignment

You rock! 5 of us watched to make sure we understood the process and safety issues that may arise. You were both informative and entertaining-Thanks.

What a fella ! Thanks for making and sharing this video. It's truly appreciated !!

Just started engineering, and you boosted me the very basic chapter. Thank you so much Sir. Even i will help others like you.

Great video. That will help out a lot when I finish my foundry. Now I'll try to help you out. When soldering electrical components, or wire, or anything other than pipes, DON'T use plumbing solder and flux. It won't flow well at all. Use a quality rosin cored solder and flux, and stay far away from that lead free crap. You'll be amazed at the difference (and ease) it takes to solder up electrical equipment. Thanks again for your great and informative videos.

Working on my first casting project this weekend. Thank you!

Thanks for taking us through the process at this level of detail. This really helped me.

yeah ! this video is great and helped me in my study of manufacturing technology....thanx very much sir!...greetings from india

You got another subscriber! Really enjoyed your details as I've always been interested in sand casting. Thanks!

Great lesson. Always go to someone who knows what they're doing. That's why I came here.

" Making something from nothing" Love it.Much respect Sir!Big 👍from me.

Thank you for this lesson! Now I know how to sand cast. :)

watching in 2020 for my manufacturing final exam, also the fan noise was no problem at all thanks for great vid

A very good tutorial. Learned a lot about sand casting. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the efficient and respectful teaching!!! LIKED, SUBSCRIBED, & commenting about SHARING with coworkers!!

Many thanks! Very informative yet simple to understand, has helped me with my Design Tech exam Thanks from England!

Thanks man! I've really been wanting to get into metal-casting.

I am a patternmaker and this is a great video, simple but informative. Great job.

Hey I like your video I had a brain injury but I understand your video you are a great teacher thank you.

I have a 1969 Honda CB750 'Sandcast', one of the first 3000 CB750s ever built and I always wondered what the 'sandcast' part meant -- excellent video! The people at Honda made the first 7400 or so Honda CB750s ever sold to the public using sandcasting metal forging. Wow, they busted their bauls to make these first few thousand. I'm guessing they weren't sure if the CB750 model would sell enough to justify tooling up an actual production line so this sandcasting technique was a cost-savings in case the CB750 model failed in the marketplace (it didn't fail). . .

Great video dude I subbed to the channel, this is a 6 year old video, you could say I completely understand if this comment flies in under the radar... There's this thing I've been saying for the last 30 years. I saw it on a sign or something once and it just, I guess made an impression on me "We the able, have done for the unwilling, so much, for so long, with so little, that we are now capable of doing anything, with nothing at all" . .if there's one thing I absolutely love to do it's make stuff. Nothing I make is ever marked in any way to indicate who might have made it. I'm not interested in personal credit. I just want to think that when I'm gone, I've left something behind me that in 100 years someone will pick it up and say to his buddy " hey man check this out, how cool is that" they don't have to know my name I just want them to kinda feel what I did when I made it

Awesome, I'm just discovering metal casting and you are providing great information. You have another subscriber and my gratitude. People like you make KZfaq a great learning resource!

Skillful, clean and kind. Thanks for such a good video

Nice video, Sir. Appreciate the work.

Good content. I'm planning on casting a silver ring and wanted to learn more about the technology.

greets from Perú, thanks for this GOLD video !

Very helpful. Thank you so much for this video. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Thank you! My professor and I will be using this for castings on campus

Great work, helped me with my exam Thanks a lot :)

Thank you! I learned something tonight about sand castings that I didn't know.

so cool! Looking for new techniques for jewelry making, this was very helpful to see where to begin :) Thanks for sharing your time and techniques with us!

I am about to do this, i use burnt candle instead of medal. Thank you for posting such a helpful vid.

Great Video! Really informative for beginners. Only thing I think that could have been shown or demonstrated better is making a smaller version of the pour cup placed over your vent. Loose metal spilling out could cause problems for potential beginners. A small funnel cup over the vent can help control the metal better as you fill your mold. Otherwise, well done!

I wanted to say that I have seen other tutorials, you made it look far easier then it probably is. I'm dyslexic oh, so a good tutorial such as yours makes the difference

Thank you. Excellent instructions

Thanks you sir

awesome video! As far as the fan noise you can separate the audio from the video clip and then delete the audio. If its a long scene you can just add some music or a voice over!

That was extremely interesting and educational … Thanks!

U explained everything with reason and conclusion thanks

First let me start by saying I enjoyed the video. I just had a couple quick questions about the video. 1 was there anything mixed with the sand like water or some type of adhesive? and what type of sand was it. 2 what was the type of metal used? aluminum, lead or some mixture of tin? Thank you in advance for your answers to these questions.

Why isn't your bench grinder secured to the bench?

This is a very educational video, well done.

Being a "maker" myself, I appreciate the 'crisp' method of teaching. Plus, I picked up some tips and will add to my own knowledge base. I've been casting copper for a while and am ready to refine some of my techniques. This helped, thanks!

There's no need for a vent for the gasses to escape. The gas escapes through the sand.

Look what molten metal does to wood! Imagine what would happen if it splashed on bare skin or nylon shoes and socks. Just saying, use common sense.

Thank you, Sir, for the insights. The video helped me understand sand casting better.

Good job with the project and the video. I love how handy and frugal you are with the projects. Keep it up. Best Matt

Is it weird that I am 10 and do this stuff and do mechanical engineering

Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting and informative.

Thank you for the heads up on the wood catching fire 🔥 your awesome man keep the videos coming

Thanks for sharing this and taking the time to post it for our edification!!

Yes that looked beautiful I found that very informative

Awesome video! Thank you!! This helped me tremendously!!

That was really cool! Thanks for showing us! We got recommended to watch this video as part of our manufacturing class at UF

I am a novice engineer and am looking to manufacture parts for a prototype machine, I love traditional ways of making things by hand not to mention this is technically recycling metal and is proving to be a viable option until I get into 3d printers, awesome video you inspired me!

Appreciate your efforts in educating the people.

Hello, thank you for sharing. This is my 1st video I watch about casting, though I'm looking for making a mold from a wood carving into a non metal cast. I really enjoy your video and thank you for sharing your many years experience doing this. I will continue my seach so I can start making what you started many years ago. Blessings to you.

Good work, thank you for sharing this knowledge. God bless 🕊️

Very useful and practical lesson

This is a great idea, thanks so much

Good video and great tutorial. Thanks from TN United States

Thanks for sharing ideas.

Fantastic video! Easy, and to the point!
