I never get tired of watching you do that. Lovely castings and a very nice engine. Cheers, Alan.
I see myfordboy has gotten more advanced since the last time I saw his vids lol
I enjoy your videos. I've actually cast a few items due to your inspiration. Thanks!
That little ball tool reminds me of a glass cutter.
It's always a joy to see your videos
I always appreciate your videos. It’s very calming to watch you working with those molds/moulds.
Great revisit to an oldie but goodie!
Siempre es un placer ver sus videos. Se aprende y se disfruta mucho.
Gracias por compartir sus grandes conocimientos.
You are the caster master!🤗👍
You should try and make a full scale engine with a real steam boiler. That would be pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Is that my casting? Looks great!
Yes it's yours!
🙂 Now your casting is famous! Engine build series is very comprehensive, left no open questions.
thats a good engine design. dont look much further if youre looking for a steam project.
Thanks for the comment Emma. You had one of the first sets I made 7 years ago!
Great video as always! Why did you use zinc/aluminium for the flywheel and what's the ratio of the alloy?
A flywheel needs to heavy. The zinc aluminium is nearly as heavy as iron and machines to good finish.
Thanks for sharing. What are you using for parting powder? Talc is getting hard to find in the US.
It's calcium carbonate.
Where the greensand was touching the mould appears "greasier", or smoother, than in your older videos. Do you add something to the water, e.g. a glycol? This effect could be enitrely video artifact or my imagination. Either way, I hope 2023 is treating you well. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
It's the same sand I always use, no secret additives!
@@myfordboy Thank you. Your wizardry over-inspires my imagination. :) :)
😊😊😊😊
Deja vu?
(Or did you make two base castings?)
LOL, Clickspring - move over. Just never gets tired!
Actually I have made nearly 200 sets of these.
@@myfordboy I don’t doubt it. I was referring to the fact that the video shows unmolding the base twice. (13:15 and 14:00). I enjoyed watching both times. 😃
@@karllaun2427 OK editing error.
How many times can you reuse your greensand? Any issues with debris and such causing issues with its ability to adhere together? Or does mulling and screening take care of everything?
Yes. Green sand is wonderful stuff.
Keep in mind that not all green sand is created equal. Can take a while to get a handle on using yours.
I can reuse the greensand indefinatly. it's about 10 years old now and has made hundreds of moulds.
@@myfordboy What? I didn't know this! I imagined you were putting it out in the garden or something, slowly building a kind of mound. Oh, this makes a difference! It seems like something that has come up before, but I just didn't catch it. So, I don't think this kind of material is anywhere around here, but if I can buy a sack of it, maybe that's enough!!
Are you willing to share the zinc aluminum alloy ratio ? Understand if not.
In previous videos he said he uses ZL12 which is a commercially available casting alloy. Don't know if that is what this is.
The metal is ZL12, bought in ingots, 12% zinc.
@@myfordboy Thank you 😀
It's a shame blodyhacks lives in Canada, I think the two of you could make a brilliant engine together as a collaborative TH-cam thingy.
@@anttihuttula6547 Why are you trying to make trouble here? What's the point of that?
Is your life really so terrible that you have to try to start a pointless argument with a complete stranger to make yourself feel better?
@@anttihuttula6547 I gotta say, I'm not convinced. You're clearly a toxic person.
You could have just said "I doubt he'd be interested" - but no, you decided to be as insulting as possible.
You know who else doesn't show his face? ChrisFix. How many collaberations has he done?
Dozens.
He remains unidentified and has still not shown his face.
So no, it's not "weird and moronic" to suggest a collab, you just clearly lack imagination.
So again, why do you have to be so toxic with your replies? Saying there's nothing wrong with your life is not convincing.
Your responses suggest to me that there is something *seriously* wrong with your life. And so you feel compelled to be nasty to some random person on the internet because your life is so crappy that you want to make others feel as bad as you do.
Sad. Really really sad. I genuinely feel sorry for you.
