    Obviously this isn't your first time. I've done maintenance work in a foundry and watched how they went from pattern making to finished casting. It always drew me in. You've earned a subscriber. Well done sir.

    This has got to be the best series on metal casting that has been published for the amateur foundryman.
    I take my hat off to you for your skills in turning scrap into great pieces of engineering with limited facilities.
    Thanks for sharing .:)

    This is cool! I program custom tooling patterns out of polyurethane plastic for a large production foundry. I always like to watch people do it at home and see all the differences between making one part and automating thousands of parts.

    There are 3 location points added to the pattern known as core prints. These leave a void in the sand to support the core in the correct location. You can see this at 4:40.

  • @markfryer9880
    @markfryer9880 9 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    myfordboy makes this look so easy in these videos.
    Then when you start to actually want to do this yourself you realise there is a hell of a lot more to this than meets the eye. Take a closer look at the cores for example, they have to be sized correctly, so that involves making molds to make the core components and glued up in just the right way to fit the pattern print correctly, so there is the right amount of metal where it needs to be in the finished item. The pattern by itself is made up of a series of different shapes which need to be made correctly so that they can be glued together but also be able to split along the parting line, and lets not forget the pattern draft required. I havent even mentioned all the steps in the casting process yet.
    This is a steep learning curve but thankfully we have myfordboy's simple but very instructive videos to guide us.

He doesnt HAVE to make these videos but he does, and WE appreciate the time and effort he puts in to making them for us to enjoy, even if YOU dont.
