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.

What schools offer Foundry & Casting classes? Are they open to non-degree seeking old folks?

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.

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.

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.

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! 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!

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 :) :)

Thanks for the good story, I was new to wheels at the time it was filmed. I am glad they left the holes :)

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
