    This is definitely an important trade to learn. Who cares about else, but to learn farming, building, hunting and creating survival tools to live a loving peaceful life with your loved ones.
    Thank you so much for sharing and thank God for blessing us with a wonderful man to teach us all a valuable trade.

    Laura,
    Found you because of Adam Booth. I enjoyed this video. Congratulations on the wedding. I have been happily working on mine since 1976. My youngest daughter just married 5/23, making us empty nesters. I fill up my time being grandfather to 32, playing in my shop and church labor. I watch too much instructional TH-cam. Because of Abom79, I now have added Cast Iron Gypsy to my watch list. We live not very far from you. I wish you all well.

    You can coat cast iron with pine tar, and heat it up for a really nice dark finish. Then you can apply boiled linseed oil for a bit of shine, and rust prevention. My favorite TH-cam blacksmith did this on some of his work, and it looked super.

    • @whateverrandomnumber
      @whateverrandomnumber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Boiled linseed oil? With reactive metals for accelerating the curing process? I think that's a terrible idea. Also, how can you be sure brake rotors don't have lead in them?

    I watch the difference in your sand casting and these dudes I watch in India. Making a mold takes them about 6 minutes, all the while they are in tee-shirts and flip flops, one dude is melting the steel sitting about a foot away from the smelter pecking on his phone while non chalantly stuffing broken cast iron in the opening. The guys make 5 or 6 molds and the steel is ready and they pour it in tee shirts and flip flops. I like the video from you and everyone, I lived in USA 50 years and moved over seas luckily I was pre acclimated to the very different ideas about safety and job just get er done. Great video thanks for the time needed to make,edit and post it!
