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.
lol maybe. This is my first time on this channel so I'm just talki...typing out my ass but hopefully they've been dating and/or engaged for a couple of years or so. It's extremely hard to hide the crazy longer than that. haaa. verbal vandalism is fun.
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.
Hi, new subscriber, Abom79 sent me. I wanted to thank you for helping Clark and the rest of the folks at the event, it was plain to see that you were indispensable there, and made things so much easier with the pours. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your content, and hope you have a great weekend!
Clark and Windy Hill are fabulous people and places. I think he actually loves teaching others because, in my opinion, the fount of all knowledge for casting. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and best wishes for a fabulous future together.
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.
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 Adam all the time but did not see his mention of you. I am shut in so watch a lot of youtube. I was looking for new ones and saw yours and tried it Great program!!!! Am looking forward to seeing all of yours. Adam is a great guy and always entertaining .You are in good hands with him . Good luck and thanks
Nice pour! and nice to know that there are people like you, Rob and Clarke,Jose and fellows in this world. For whatever reason, watching cast iron being poured makes me want to be a better human being.
It's wonderful to find your channel and Clarke's as well via Adam's channel... I've found all this neat stuff to look at in retirement... Now I just need to be young again so I can play too! ;)
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!
So pleased the pour wasn't a disaster, I saw the earlier footage with all the flames and didn't know if it was a success. Now I do, and it was. Good trick with the linseed oil finish
just got my Rucker straight edge from windy hill today. The cast iron looks to be very high quality. not that I'm an expert but it does have a good consistency to it ...... the casting came out really great too
Genuinely enjoyed watching this project, and what a super cool way to commemorate your marriage. Was awesome to see you hanging out with Adam and Keith too!!
Awesome video, always wanted to learn how to cast and I've worked in a steel mill for 18 years😅...he's so lucky, you have a great personality and pretty too...
Here by ways of a prompt from Adam. I retired years ago but used to work for a foundry that produced castings weighing several tons (parts for a steam turbine generator). We used to make things for home in our dinner hour. Have fun Laura, but be careful.
Hey, I tried this! Made a cast aluminum birthday card skillet for my wife. I'm still working up my nerve to try cast iron someday, but meanwhile that's what black spraypaint is for... Thanks for the idea! It came out nice, she likes it, but the 3 A's I used kicked my butt. Stupid little triangles...
I watched Adam's video of this. You footage is very cool. I am starting to save brake rotors for melting. Wish you the best on the upcoming wedding. Stay safe during the pours.
Wow, you made a super interesting and professional video of this project Laura. Love your voice over! Nice to see you already created casted memories of your future wedding, I wish you every luck and happiness towards this special day.
Casting is cool we did it in high school but not with cast iron. Much hotter when poured kinda reminded me of watching footage of steel mills when they poured their steel. That a good way to get rid of ants!
Perfect! Excellent combination of voice over explanation of what you are doing, background music that doesn't get in the way, content, and the dialog is all you! You love us? We love you too! Oh, suggestion: let Bones get a little screen time too, and don't forget the screen creds for him! See you at the next pour.
I was laughing because my lady would have taken that and put it on the stove and used it to get that beautiful black. Nicely done. You make me want to get back to doing some more casting. I use petrobond and aluminum, attempting to make simple machines such as dividing heads and such. It is such a rush to pour molten metal and come back hours later to find what surprises are in that sand.
I may sound stupid, but it never occured to me that you could have used an actual skillet as the pattern, it's really clever as it already has pattern draft into it. Making it from scratch could be fun, but would be incredibly time consuming. Thanks for sharing and take care!!
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.
The dates may not be set in stone, but it's definitely cast in iron.
It's poetry😌😌
Hell yes! Love seeing women working with metal 👏
THats a lovely project. You and Rob will look at it for many, many decades to come.
Rob is one lucky man. Hope you have a great future together! Turned out beautiful.
lol maybe.
This is my first time on this channel so I'm just talki...typing out my ass but hopefully they've been dating and/or engaged for a couple of years or so. It's extremely hard to hide the crazy longer than that.

A good dog is one who has to be right in the middle of what you're doing. You've got a damn good dog there.

Congratulations Laura, both on the Skillet. and of course, the occasion that is the reason for it!
Great to see you Clark. God bless you always 🙏❤
Clarke is such an invaluable source when it comes to cast iron.
Sustainable. In 50 years we will be digging up all the landfills to get at the awesome raw materials we threw away. Thanks for this.
That’s what I’ve been saying for several decades!👍🏻

Can we get name drop for that TH-camr so they can get the proper recognition and a new subscriber(s).
@@ryanhoyt2210 Absolutely, his TH-cam channel, and real name is Torbjörn Åhman. Both his craftsmanship, and video editing is top notch, in my opinion.
This video was fun to watch !
Thank you for showing us a little bit of how castings are made.
Awesome video. Just can't get enough of casting.
That looks like a really fun weekend
I watch Adam all the time but did not see his mention of you. I am shut in so watch a lot of youtube. I was looking for new ones and saw yours and tried it Great program!!!! Am looking forward to seeing all of yours. Adam is a great guy and always entertaining .You are in good hands with him . Good luck and thanks
at least you did comments I had no Idea what you had cast on that day so cool and thought outside the box.
Nice pour! and nice to know that there are people like you, Rob and Clarke,Jose and fellows in this world. For whatever reason, watching cast iron being poured makes me want to be a better human being.
I went to HS in the 70's, and we learned how to do castings in shop class. Also did lost wax casting in a jewelers class. Love this stuff..nice work.
Me too. Can you imagine: they let us pour molten metal in school!! And use dangerous tools!
@@frankhoose Yeah we had a foundry in our metal shop in High School. I poured aluminum castings all the time. That was back in 1983.
That’s cool. I know some people that make the sand molds for people and that’s all they do for a living
Hi
Where can I buy the moulds ?
WoW ! Absolutely brilliant!!! That’s a work of art 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
WOW! Cool! You got married on my birthday! Congrats! Great video! Good info to know!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. If you both can make it through 2020, the rest of your lives ought to be a piece of cake.
Robs a lucky dude! Congratulations to you both
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. May your marriage wear like iron, and feel light as a feather.
I love how it sparkles just being out in the air when it's molten, like a...well...sparkler...
I really liked how that turned out! I like cast iron skillets!
It's wonderful to find your channel and Clarke's as well via Adam's channel... I've found all this neat stuff to look at in retirement... Now I just need to be young again so I can play too! ;)
Wow, that did come out really great, but boy its a lot of work! And mucho dangeroso
This was a beautiful video to watch. If you cook all your meals with a cast iron skillet, might as well make it a special one. I love it!
This is absolutely amazing, Now I want to make a skillet!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! #love
If you end up making one please let me know, I’ll love to see how it turns out!☺️❤️
The skillet turn out nice. The pup says "but mom you know I am the star of your you tube channel".
Those would make a great wedding gift . great idea .
wow bring me back to
high school.. thanks

That casting turned out very good. Nice work.

Great job! I love the casting videos, and the finished skillet was awesome. Shout out for Rob and Bones, great support crew!
Omg! Love this idea! That is super cute and functional!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Genuinely enjoyed watching this project, and what a super cool way to commemorate your marriage. Was awesome to see you hanging out with Adam and Keith too!!
A transformational event (for you) in many ways. I enjoy your work very much. Happy Nuptials to y'all.
I'm Brazilian foundryman. I love this!
Congrats on your upcoming wedding!
Excellent video - best wishes to you and Rob for a wonderful life together!
Awesome video, always wanted to learn how to cast and I've worked in a steel mill for 18 years😅...he's so lucky, you have a great personality and pretty too...

Congratulations! What a great way to memorialize your wedding.
Nice, hope to visit Clarke and Schloss Furnaces, after completing some patterns.
Nice job on the skillet it turned out nice. Have a great wedding day. ATB Stay safe. regards from the UK
I do a lot of camping with me mates and our wives in Australia. I would love something personal like that made up.... good job.!!!
Flapper wheel..... I'm assuming that that's going to be just straight up decor..... AWESOME 👌...
That was great, keep it up. Enjoy your day. I came here through Abom and now I’m here to stay.
wow wish i could do that its more than a skillet its art absolutely beautiful
Abom (and wife) and Keith Rucker: All the cool kids were there!
Good to the the start to finish of this project.
Here by ways of a prompt from Adam. I retired years ago but used to work for a foundry that produced castings weighing several tons (parts for a steam turbine generator). We used to make things for home in our dinner hour. Have fun Laura, but be careful.
Brilliant result
Great idea, I have some sign letters and a small skillet too... :)
Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Abom's arrival for *you*!
Also that boy is the bestest of boys.
Casting is cool we did it in high school but not with cast iron. Much hotter when poured kinda reminded me of watching footage of steel mills when they poured their steel. That a good way to get rid of ants!
I love how he handled the cat that tried to sneak in the picture. No freebies here.
Nice work! And good to see Adam doing his first pour there!
Congratulations on the wedding! Nice work on your pour.
Just fascinating! I have not poured iron yet. That turned out GREAT!
awsome. I love it! dang, thats good sand. Also, might be the biggest crucible I have ever seen!
That skillet turned out awesome! Can't say that I blame the dog for wanting some camera time also, He's quite the handsome pooch.
Interesting. Thank you. Lovely little frying pan. Cheers from Canada :-)
Perfect! Excellent combination of voice over explanation of what you are doing, background music that doesn't get in the way, content, and the dialog is all you! You love us? We love you too! Oh, suggestion: let Bones get a little screen time too, and don't forget the screen creds for him! See you at the next pour.
Great looking cast iron pan.
Love this, won't try this at home, but had to watch the whole video. Well done.
Congrats !!! That is AWESOME !!! Excellent Craftsmanship. :-D
Way-cool beans !!! 👏👏👏👏👏
That skillet project came out outstanding! You do have a good skill in metal work. Thanks for sharing.
This is a little more than dangerous. Props to all. I'll watch. 😂
So cool Laura. Thank you for the video.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Very exciting !
I was laughing because my lady would have taken that and put it on the stove and used it to get that beautiful black.
Nicely done. You make me want to get back to doing some more casting. I use petrobond and aluminum, attempting to make simple machines such as dividing heads and such. It is such a rush to pour molten metal and come back hours later to find what surprises are in that sand.
Awesome work. Love to see the finished product.
Congratulations on your marriage! I just saw this video today, and saw the 7/12/2020 date on the skillet. I thought, wow, that's today!!!!
Thanks for the video. Keep safe and stay well.
Interesting project! May your marriage be just as hot and durable as your skillet!
I'm impressed how well those sign board letters worked, great job overall! Congrats on the up comming wedding!
Well done,I can see some eggs and bacon sizzling away on that skillet
Nicely done Video 👍 skillet came out awesome
Excellent story, awesome collaboration with windy hill... Oh and bones is a pretty doggy.
I may sound stupid, but it never occured to me that you could have used an actual skillet as the pattern, it's really clever as it already has pattern draft into it. Making it from scratch could be fun, but would be incredibly time consuming. Thanks for sharing and take care!!
3D print with any font you want!
@@nickbrannon3251 So obvious!! I'm not saying I'll ever actually make it. But if I do, you've saved a LOT of work.
A good man will make 40 in a day
No castings shrink so it would be thinner than you want
This is way cool. Kudos!
That was awesome!
What a great project!
It takes a lot of efforts to make one. Next time I buy one. I won't complain on the price. Thank you!
You did a great job Laura! Love your video and skillet.
