- Hello my friends. This video covers over two weeks in time frame because we lost a crucible on our attempt to pour the PERFECT MOLD.
Plenty of suspense and drama to start your Sunday morning.

You must love your craft to have that much patience and not accept less than perfect parts. Ive been watching Leo’s project for years and have admired his patience and craftsmanship and it’s fitting that someone with a similar level of professionalism is rebuilding his capstan. He really has over the years worked with incredible craftsman and he continues with you. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
I love your honesty in what it takes to make a good casting.
The attitude of friendship a joke and a smile and next time better, and this is how it should be…
Mmmmm possibly, they look way way way out of their depth to me.
@@icarus877 agreed, Leo is lining up someone else to do it at this time I'm sure, if not he certainly should be.
@@icarus877 “always with them negative waves Moriarty”
@@SuperDrumwolf I think Leo will just be fine what's going on, and no cast is going out the Windy Hill foundry door before it's perfecte…
You need to watch some other people who do this, he is milking this for views, I hope because if he isn't he's just incompetent.
Hey fellas. As a pourer I sure know the casting process can evade us for a number of reasons. Whoever is making your flasks and patterns have my hat off to you. Some days are sure better than others. A fail or two we are used to seeing but 20 times it can haunt us before a success blesses us. As a pourer and machinist I know the result of a sand pocket just under the skin of a place to be machined. They gobble up carbide inserts like they were free. Not so eh, LOL. I sure enjoyed this post and will certainly be here for the next instalment. ONWARD EH ! Take care my friend.
I don't know how to describe watching this video. It's exciting, terrifying. I look forward to seeing all the videos.
"that's what we do for fun" 🤣
More than 100 years ago, foundry workers went through this kind of trial and error to develop a casting procedure to produce the original part.
It is interesting to watch this casting being made. Thanks for showing the pitfalls of this type of work. Can't wait for the next posting. Keeping it fun!!!
I for one understand how hard this really is, and I only did this for a year back in high school. Only did simple molds. I watch what you and the guys are doing and I know you probably forgot more about pouring medal than I ever knew. I love watch guys doing their craft and doing it well!!
"Casting couch". Where foundry owners lie down and cry sometimes in the face of adversity.
Watching this and seeing the complexity of such a small part makes the turbine housing casting for the titanic that much more amazing.
Leo and Tally Ho are going to be really happy with your attention to detail making this part. Keep up the good work!
...Or they are really nervous about the quality of the end result.
@@lux_motoThe whole world is watching. Of course they’re nervous. My hat’s off to dedicated craftsmen like these men.
@@ellieprice363 'The whole world' is a bit of an overstatement isn't it? And anyway that was not what I was referring to. I'm sure these guys do some fantastic work, but following this project one can't deny there are some signs of a lack of professionalism or experience to handle a job like this.
I'm not saying he is a bad craftsman, but it looks like he is far out of his comfort zone. That would make me nervous. But he is critical about the result, that's good, and I follow this like it is a thriller. I'm rooting for a success.
It is a thriller about the lack of CO2
I over see casting operation in three countries Malaysia China Thailand. This is a hard job. I would cast two sections and provide hard points by machining.
I just started to watch the Tally Ho build after wondering what this was for. Very cool that they got Keith and you involved! This looks like an incredibly difficult mold to make. Quite the challenge.
It's ok for me as a hobbyist to not let things out of my shop that I am not perfectly satisfied with. I don't have to worry about overhead and making a living.My hat off to you all for your integrity and craftsmanship
This is way more interesting than politics. You get to see what people love and are good at, makes me feel like a neighbor to them.
If anybody says casting job is easy, OK, come on in and do it; I will sit down and be eating pop corns watching and learning, you know what I mean. Having said this, I just want to encourage the team at Windy Hill Foundry. I am sure you will eventually make it and succeed as you deserve. Good attitude, in any case.
Thank you for showing us the reality of what it means to make a part like that and not glossing over the parts where things don't go well. You have so much patience and grit. Also props to the crew for keeping up the good spirit!
This is a fine completement to Leo's team's work on the wood side... You guys are the best!
Next Saturday get the coffees set up for the boys and sneak up on it! Thanks for sharing and good luck from The Mediterranean
Can't wait to see this on Tally Ho's deck! And I will, because TH is right here in my town of Port Townsend, WA! I'm going to drive in and sneak a peek at her in a few minutes.
Thank you so much for supporting this project!
It's a good thing Leo is gonna need another 5 years to finish that boat , that should give you plenty of time to finish that goddamn casting
For some projects, if something Can go wrong it WILL go wrong. You have more perseverance and resilience than many folks who say they "Never Surrender."
If I lived within 100 miles of WHF, I would have gladly volunteered to come and help lift those molds. Hearing you struggle for breath in earlier videos, I knew you needed help. I'm grateful you found some. Thanks, Clark from someone who flunked Shop but got an A in HomEC. (I live in Florida).
You guy’s are amazing. Thanks for the content.
You should write "guys", not "guy's".

I understand the time in failures in order for completion , I remember taken apart a diesel engine many times because of a knock that’s in and out of the machine also , found a metal chip in a timing gear ! 4 times tear down ! Not to say the profit was gone ! But starting that engine each time and hearing the same knock.was so frustrating! Keep up the good work you will get there , for what you will make will last generations and your name will always be connected with that excellent product !
I appreciate the video footage of the not so good pours as well as the perfect pours to make a casting. Although you had some unusual events it illustrates that even a skilled experience craftsman can take a few attempts to get a job to meet your personal high standards. I hope this encourages the amatuer casting enthusiast to keep after it. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the next video!
A fascinating series and project. I got a smile from the dog wanting to join the action. My dog would want to do the same, he loves getting attention.
A LOT of hard work in every attempt. I saw earlier video so good to know you eventually get a good casting. Well done.
Great Job guys, your perseverance WILL be rewarded! I am ALWAYS amazed that this Bronze-age sand mould cast iron technique is still in commercial use nearly 3000 years later!
Good grief, you boys are really getting put through the ringer on this project. Very interesting stuff to watch, and I'm very impressed with your determination to "get 'er done". Best of luck with your next attempt.
I think you need a chain operated hoist for greater control.
Or if you must have better speed than a manual hoist pneumatic, eg Ingersoll Rand air driven chain hoists. They're popular in moulding shops where I come from even though they're hellish expensive.
Keep up the good work and sharing the videos. I never realized how difficult casting was. If you made one alignment pin longer than the other, it would help engagement while lowering. I used this process when installing heavy cylinder heads.
Craftmanship, art, science! Totally awesome!
I’d recommend putting three - point pull points on the mold, you could string a bubble level between the lift cords to insure an even pull and create a loosening impact by “tweaking” the pull cords as necessary. Just a thought.
I wonder the same. But guess there is some expertise in this.
Like: The 3 strings seem more accurate but are always a little bit wrong in reality.
Thanks to your heads-up in your previous video, I wasn't looking for the ultimate success in this Part 4 .... but for all us fans of Clarke, and Leo at Tally-Ho ...... DO NOT MISS PART 5 !! .... I don't think you'll be disappointed !!
I admire your attitude and resolve. Michal J Fox said “With gratitude, optimism is sustainable.” I’m grateful to see these insights in to you work, and I know you’ll get this bad boy built to your high standards.
I can’t wait to see this capstan mounted proudly to Tally Ho!
Yes, this is an exceptionally challenging project. We all know it. May I suggest using something similar to what is used in developing countries while pouring really big objects? They make a hole in the sand floor and form the mold in it. Then they add the cope as usual and start pouring. The structure is more rigid. Markers for the cope are needed to get it accurately back in position.
Can't do it that way. The way the pattern is made makes us have to turn over the whole stack of flasks three times. Once Clark gets through with his videos I'll post the Long Play version of what it involves. Clark deserves a lot more credit for this job, and exposure, than what the TickTockers can stand :)
@kins I can't for the life of me understand why the pattern was build like that. If the cope on the circumference was reversed this all seems like it'd be a lot easier? That cope isn't even in the final casting, there's cores all the way around.
That thought about the pattern was voiced many times :) @@tgiskardify
Tex is freezing his katookus off and you're standing around a'jawing. 😆
HEll it fell off :)
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I feel your frustration on this casting. Had a similar feeling when I was in college. Took us a week to get our mold right, but when we did, the darn thing blew out along the parting line. I had forgotten to weigh down the cope, and dumped 30-odd pounds of iron in one side and out the other.
The true definition of Perseverance!
There is the perfect name for the capstan _Perseverance_ or Percy for short.
Have you guys ever heard of lost PLA casting? And if so why has that not been an option for this project? I am sure some youtube geniuses would love to 3d print that up!
how did they originally make this without the degree of modern technology available.....................are we really no better
Keep it up. You’re doing great. Your quest for perfection you don’t see much of these days.
I love watching real people making real stuff. With pride. Thank you for sharing with us all
Man, hats off to you guys, Leo is a very lucky guy to have you working on this project.
Well the journey continues. I think you need a 1/2 to chainfall on the electric winch. my 2 cents. If I was there I would probably give you my 2 bits worth of ideas. Wish I could make it out.
Watch the next video to see the improvements...
Considering the way that electric winch snatches and jerks when you lift the frames, have you thought about using a 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 pulley block with rope instead? I'm thinking the jerking of the electric winch is shaking sand loose.
Keep up the good work guys. Your perseverance and skill will eventually see you through this difficult project. 👏
What an amazing amount of patient and highly skilled work. When I saw them heating and beating on the original I was shocked! If only they had just drilled out the shaft, replacing the shaft would have been trivial, way less work. The pattern alone is a work of art, watching you ram and re-ram that mold again and again ... that's dedication. Hope you have success in the end!
Learning is a journey, and every step is worth taking.
Its truly impressive to see the dedication to making this casting, i know that these videos are only a fraction of the time it takes and yet its mind boggling! Whoever thinks you are doing this just 'to milk it' has a screw or two loose Videos like these really put things into perspective that its never as easy as it might seem. These daysits easy to take complex things for granted, this is a real eye opener. Thank you for showing how it goes and being so honest about it, most people on YT just skip to the end i feel like.
Hang in there. The editing Leo does with Tally Ho makes it everything look so seamless, but next to every successful project is a pile of “successful learning opportunities.”
It's amazing that someone would think you intentionally made it take longer to get more videos, like you have nothing better to do.
Thank you.
Oh, boy. The Monday morning quarterbacks are all over your comments. PLEASE ignore them. You are doing great!
I need a Valium just to watch anymore 😂
these are a bunch of really great guys. I would love to have a beer with them!
Leo might want to go to another foundry
Nerves of steel (or maybe cast iron) and the patience of a saint, my hat is off to you! This series has certainly been an eye-opener for me.
I have thought about making my own castings before, but i know its complex. I will leave it to the pros. This is just amazing process by skilled men...
Reminds me of walking through a 200 year old millstone quarry... and seeing hundreds of broken millstones, some with trees growing out of them.. realizing how frustrating it can be for hours and hours of work to go away in a second
Good to see the iron flow and the warm company. Looking forward to the next installment :)
Definitely not milking anything. To have so many attempts go south is painful to watch and definitely not intentional. It does prove that metal work is a mix of skill, patience and art. Hats off to you guys.
February 17 was my birthday and I'm 67 year old. Love watching you, keep up the good work.
Your problem is you are NOT walking on it with your feet. ha ha, those Pakistan people crack me up. Actually I was on vacation in Pakistan for the air force. 15 months
I keep telling him that! For two years I have be telling him! :)
At least they aren’t wearing pajamas
seeing the sand break off when pulling out the back side makes me think the sand is "done for" my sand was doing that and im not sure why but new sand fixed the problem much less fall outs and breakage where it shouldn't have been. just my two cents. another thing is too use one of those rope style "deer skinning hoists" to get a much slower hoist action.
I would like to see the nyesayers do what you are doing. Power to you.
What great teamwork and camaraderie guys.
I am enjoying seeing the process of casting this part - my day job is materials and process engineering and I know how much effort and persistence it takes to get a manufacturing process like this right.
the only way to do something like this is to just keep trying and learn from the failures until you succeed and there is little point to explaining why this is the case to people who don't understand it.
Well done, fellas! I do enjoy the “do or die” attitude!
You’ll get ‘er done eventually, no doubts.
I will be waiting to see your successful casting of the capstan.good luck 🤞
Keep the spirit up greetings from the netherlands
Gotta admire your spirit, your determination, and your honesty in showing the failures that are part of the process. Such a contrast to the meticulous carpentry work on Tally Ho. I guess woodworkers have to be more careful, since what's been cut from wood won't regrow, whereas you can always recast. The leaky crucible, the wooden mold that didn't hold, both feel self-inflicted though. I don't know what the deal is with Pakistani metalworkers, but can a Mississippi foundry give them a run for their rupees? I wish you better luck next try.
Fascinating stuff, love your commitment to the project
Love it Clarke!
Hello Clarke. I hope that you will not mind me checking in again to see how the casting of the top of the Tally Ho capstan is progressing. The casting is proving to be quite a challenge as shown by your videos, and they also show how one cannot necessarily expect it all go according to plan, but if it fails, try, try, again. Please would you share a quick up date where you have got to, and if there is a "perfect" casting, and it just awaiting to ship off to Vintage Machinery for finishing, and then hopefully start the assembly, that is once the parts due from Websters in the UK, have arrived. Thank you. Ted
Legal, conseguimos andar pra frente, parabéns.
Patience is definitely a necessary requirement when it come to doing this kind of labor intensive work. If at first you don't succeed try and then try again! Definitely worth the time and effort - keep going.
The Tally Ho will launch and have sailed across the world before you guys get done with this. 😂
Love the never give up attitude.
Oh the frustration of this trade
Do you want me to ask Leo (Tally Ho) if he's sure that he doesn't want a fabricated & machined capstan drum instead of a cast one? ;)
Trial and error. Gotta learn the process for this mold, can't get the right result without it. It is what it is.
7:00 Kilroy for sure, but ultimately, i think WHF should've had a stamp, you and the fellow who made the mold (my memory is shoite with names 😅). Artists and artisans should sign their work.
The first thing I noticed is that your winch is pulling like crazy. If it is a DC motor, you can reduce the voltage. You definitely need something more controllable. The second thing is that your new camera is sensitive to infrared light. There should be a solution like an infrared filter to reduce radiation. Good footage!
that makes sense!
Bigger roller would smooth and slow things down
Keeping fingers and toes crossed for three pours and out the door!
It's disappointing that we didn't get to see the result of the pour.
Big project . You missed a good show. Thanks for sharing Clark
I can see it in y'alls eyes that you'll get it. I'm betting on the next one. Looking forward to it and good luck.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it! You need to do these things carefully and safely! Anyone that thinks you’re milking this is nuts! This is not easy!
Friends with a sense of humor are priceless! “Kilroy was here!
Guys! Fire extinguishers are a good source of CO2 at a pinch.
Even the water ones ? lol
The nature of the beast. Appreciate you showing all the mess ups.
Steve over there crying about 39°f being cold, meanwhile it's -10°f here in WNY with the windchill and I'm out here in shorts, a hoodie enjoying the sun and sudden warm spell while picking up fallen branches. 🤣 👍👍
Is the Capstan going to be ready before the boat is ready to launch?
Damn looking forward to the next.....Thanks Clark and friends....
Shoe🇺🇸
Nice work guys! Diligence pays off.
👍✨🇺🇸
"If anything can go wrong, it will." Murphy was an optimist. I'm sure you'll get it. Very sad to read the negative comments from the keyboard warriors, especially the ones saying you don't have the skills. From what I've seen, the problems haven't been skill-related at all. Molds blow out. Crucibles fail.
Hats off to you, you must have the patience of a saint.
Jimminies fellows! Thank you for helping me begin to learn the intricacies of 'casting' creation!
No doubt, pounding 'sand' is an art form, when melted rock is to be shaped - again - thank you...
Meanwhile, as a novice rigger of the occasional 'clean' lift - tons and such, with huge convoluted cranes and........ Please consider using a 'spreader' bar ( or 3!) between the straps that lift the sections of molds.....
Physics of stress...... I type to slow to explain why failure may lurk in the lifting process- stiffly built, but unduely flexed.....
Nomenclature of specifics.......
The reality of the 'lifting' [crane operates and such] includes an understanding of 'spreaders' - - - - - - to ease........
.............the "maths" of the mass to move, and the particulate nature of structure...yeah..weird stress on the strap lift..... From my jaundice eyes view. Call me idiot, or glean another aspect.
No matter to me.
Just being the old guy in the corner......
EVERY TIME I WATCH YOU GUYS WORK,
I CONSIDER THE FOUNDRIES FROM 400 YEARS AGO.
I WONDER HOW MANY TRICKS THOSE GUYS KNEW....
🤔😁
What causes a mold to blow out? Not enough weight on top? Mad Dad always said, for things that try your patience, “it’s like banging your head against a concrete wall. It feels so good when you stop”.
