    Wow - I can't even find the words! I am a Nerdforge fan and thought I would meander over to your channel to see some cool aluminum pouring. I didn't realize how much work goes into casting a single metal piece. You are so skilled at SO MANY things! Sketching, wood(?) working, mold(?) making (so fascinating I watched that part four times), metal pouring, all the finishing work and all that sanding - my gawd the sanding you have to do! I am seriously impressed and fascinated. Thank you for introducing me to this art form!!! (my apologies for not using the correct terminology)
