Makin Sumthin From Nuthin
Hi & Welcome to my KZread Channel. This channel is all about " Makin Sumthin from Nuthin! ", If I need something I figure out a way to MAKE IT instead of buying it!
I put out machining videos (lathe work), aluminum and brass sand casting videos with an occasional video about other things fabricated I think will be of interest to my subscribers. I have playlists on the various things I do. I also have other videos NOT in the playlists so feel free to scout around in the videos section. Let's get to work Makin Sumthin From Nuthin !! :)
Thanks for stopping by and hope to read your comments on the projects!

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.
Thanks
Roger that.
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
No sir. But thanks for the offer
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!
Thx for dropping by!! :)
Not a logo, blade direction!
My first saw!! LOL Caught hell over that for years now!......well deserved!!!
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?.
In my opinion gears are easier to purchase than cast
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
Thx Gary
😂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
Clothing dye from walmart
Thank you sir! I am learning this so I can cast ancient tools and weapons.
Thank you sir:)
Thanks for watching, hope the video helped out
THANKS, MSFN, FOR DEMONSTRATING THIS ESSENTIAL, USEFUL PROCESS!!! IMHO: I WILL SUGGEST THAT THIS SIMILAR PROCESS, CAN BE USED TO POUR BABBITT, (WHITE METAL) SOLID BEARINGS, FOR LOW SPEED AXELS, AND SUCH. PERHAPS YOU MAY THINK OF SOME APPLICATIONS, FOR THAT PROCESS,... PERHAPS MAKING SOME SORT OF "ROLLING MILL", OR SHEET METAL ROLLER/CONE ROLLER, OR A BENCH MOUNTED TURNTABLE, OR, A "STAKE-HOLDER" FOR HOLDING SHEET METAL HAMMERING DOLLIES, FORMERS, ETC., ETC. BEST WISHES!
Very nice build , now subscribed from down-under cheers
Thx Andrew!
That’s working on an old piece of equipment for you. Never goes as planed and then you need to get creative. Idea worked damn good though.
You have time to video this?
Thank you for your reply. It is good to know it can handle a 10 inch chuck!
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks!!!
Do you let the casting medium dry before pouring metal? Thanks, Michael
Not really, pour when it is melted
Great video. I have a Clausing 8520 with a MT2 drawbar and I was looking for someone who made their own tooling. I now have confidence I can do it! MT2 drawbar tooling is slim. Thanks again
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.
Thanks for the kind words!!!
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.
So glad you stopped by!!, have a wonderful day!!
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.
I have a video on my homepage on how to make the sand
What kinda of sand do you use?
A video on my main channel shows how to make your own
