Awesome video details

Thank you for this im going to watch everything you have on this subject. Do you have the poor mans furnace?

How do you heat it?

Great video, you made it look quite easy, is that a bought furnace of did you make that ? 🙂👍

Just getting into casting, this video was very informative and helped me understand it better!

what sand used here isnt sand like gonna to fall do you like add water or something?

I those youd stick the copper wire into the sand and cast them in. Awesome project! Thanks

Thank you for a superb video; I have been trying to make diving belt weights but so far have failed miserably; this instruction of the fine flour of play sand and cat litter will definitely work for me, so simple, effective and cheap too 👍

My biggest issue is air pockets... in the copper casting i made, They appear right under the ventilation holes. still trying to search around on the internet for deeper detail...

You forgot to include a place (port) on the case head that you can measure the bullet / case combo with a caliper blade. Also you need to expand the case necks (or ream) to .002" over the bullet diameter. The push rod you furnish will also not allow you to measure on the centerline of the case bullet combo. I doubt that 5/16" tap was able to work on the 223 case heads as the coarse threads will detach the base at the extractor grooves on the case. Ask me how I know. Grin. But nice machine work.

That's a nice piece of "nothing"!

Thanks for posting. I'm trying to do some backyard casting, and your video gave me some ideas for improving my setup.

🤯🤯🤯

Hello, what kind of sand you use in sand casting?

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

Never seen that solution before it worked. I thought you would have to use a hydraulic press to press it out from the inside of the chuck.

I had a friend who lost 3 fingers when his angle grinder blade exploded. Absolutely a true story. Wear leather gloves, and a face shield, when using that cutting tool. That thing is spinning much faster than you think. You have been advised.

Nice work. Exactly what I was planning to do so very useful video.

The Americans dont realise that the original 'Greensand' comes from Southeast England. It's of Cretaceous age, a natural sand with a fine clay content and furthermore is actually green when freshly dug due to the presence of Glauconite. They think that they invented it and named it 😂😂

Battery acid is dangerous to work around in open air. The fumes can ignite and blow up the work area. Therefore, do not use a gas stove or work in area of one. Need to be ready with a solution to neutralize any spills. Wear a face shield as well to protect the face and eyes in the event of an explosion or spill.

From my Foundry experience, this is really a cheap, simple, and fast way of making Green sand. One thing that we do to reduce cost is use fine sand (your process) around the pattern and use coarse sand above it. This would help in two ways. Your fine sand requirement will be very small and coarse sand enables the gas pass through easily. After seeing this video, I have a curious question on a different subject. In my back yard, there is a 800 sq ft of easement. Weed paper and mulch didn't help me to remove weeds. Do you know this Green sand takes care of the weed as it contains clay?

Can I pay you to make me a 906 Pacer Center wheel cover

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!

Not a logo, blade direction!

Exceptional dimensional accuracy without the final finishing.. Nice work

Hurray. I have waded through lots of other peoples tutorials looking for just this thing. Thank you for your understandable instructions.

Wow that was great !!!!😊

I thought people would Take waste oil so it cant dry up or steam Off?

So i have run into a problem how do i make a mold from an object that isn't flat? It doesn't sit flat like your platform what do i do?

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, dude. i think this will help a lot. I've had a project that I've been doing for my friend and eventually thought that sand casting would be the best solution to be able to get it done. This video helps a lot. I do have a pretty complex design for it though so hopefully that wont make it harder for me. Thanks again

No, Bob. I want to experience the process of evolution. It's me experiencing the story. I need a good teacher and the respect to aknowledge that I might be at the first step of being aware to wake up, cause nothing 3lse makes sense

My theory is that the molten material reaching the air vent started to cool down to a point it stopped the flow from the material getting thru in the other side of the mold. Or maybe some impurities accumulating in that particular part of the volume. A very lucky "failed" pouring, as you said :V

The play sand (and pure quartz sand i use) from home depot is 11 bucks now.. 7 years after you posted this video😂😂 ouch

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

Bonus Scores.

You have a welder so why bolt on a handle but to each his own.

I challenge you to unhear every time the words ' I'm gonna go ahead and'................are spoken.

We have a metal casting assignment for class coming up soon, and I wanted to see exactly how it was done so I knew what sort of detail I could have in mind for my assignment, and as in the future I was considering getting into different metal casting for art stuff. An older video being about 7 years old now, but still great!

Can you mold mechanical spur gear next time?.

Plan D, if all else fails... I once used a drill chuck to mill with an endmill. but the side load removed the chuck from the taper. They can't hold against a side load. Try putting in in a spindle and chuck a bar in the drill chuck , spin it and put a side load on the bar.

Rather than the work involved in drilling, tapping, I'd have welded some scrap to the end, then if the old straight arbor was to be kept, then simply grind it off again.

Good lesson

😂está al revés 😂😂😂

A ratchet strap and a cheap harbour freight dolly. Thats all you need.

DRINK SOME CAFFEINE !

👍🏻

what type of dye you used

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

Thank you sir:)
