Please, _never_ hesitate to make videos about pattern-making. These days, it is an incredibly difficult topic to research, and I've been completely fascinated about the process from the moment it was first explained to me. Thank you for this, and all of your videos!
I always enjoy these videos..I have 2 of those little skillets People used them for ashtrays. But when I was a kid I seen them used as a spoon rest on the back of the stove
Xynudu, Keith Rucker, and yourself have inspired me to add casting to my toolbelt. Thanks so much for these videos. I've convinced one of my siblings to join me. The more "classic" skills may be falling out of general use, but thanks in part to the power of the internet they will continue to live. If there's entire vibrant communities dedicated to making chainmail, there's room for casting :)
The internet, and especially, TH-cam for me, are the best learning tools in the history of mankind! Next to face to face mentoring... And, if properly cared for, will last indefinitely... :o] O,,,
Wanted to thank you for sharing this method of making a match plate. Genius! I only recently started casting and wanted to make 16 small bronze parts with no 'draft'. This video series turned out to be the perfect solution to many of my problems. It saved me hours of trouble and cost so little. There is a video of the match plate on my channel if you're curious and I was sure to included a link to this video. Thanks again, LH
I'm pretty sure I'll never do any casting, but there is something fascinating about it. I've enjoyed all your previous casting videos and look forward to this series. Thanks Mr. Pete
Great first segment Mr. Pete. Looking forward to the next segments. Now that it is cooler here in Upstate NY, I will be getting out into my shop and firing up my little foundry before the real cold sets in. I need to make enough castings to keep me busy during the long winters here. Fred
Great video Mr, Tubalcain, I find this fascinating. I wish I had you as my shop teacher, I think this subject everyone should fine interest in because matchplate patterns were use to speed up casting, therefore helping to make cast products cheaper, when it became automated. This is a great series and can;t wait to see the next three. Thank you kind Sir, for all of your hard work here.
Wonderful series of videos-looking forward to #4 in the series. I was wondering why you added the gate to the match plate after you cast it instead of as part of the original casting. Again-I always learn so much from your videos that I feel like I am going to the University of TH-cam.
GREAT series; Thank You Tubalcain. I am slowly accumulating the equipment needed to do some casting work; found a muller on Craigslist and have a bench to go look at next weekend. Got plans for a furnace but havn't started it yet. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Regards, Sean.
You're right to say that some people (most people?) probably won't do this; I know I won't be doing this. However, I find the process and videos most interesting! Thanks- and keep 'em coming!
Tubalcain, just to let you know I am casting in my home shop and either make my own patterns, or modify items someone wants replicated in aluminum, brass, or other copper alloys. I also pass the skill on to whoever will listen (I have 13 grandkids). I have watched 100s of your videos and look forward to others. Please keep them coming. Respectfully, Sarge
Great video. It is good to see some foundry work for a change. I know it is almost the same process every time but I guess I just like the idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mr. Pete! I guess I'm one of your "niche" viewers, this is fascinating and I hope to build a little home forge this winter and start to follow in your wake.
Hello Mr. Pete, Awesome video series. I watch them (almost) daily. I can see by your teaching techniques that you are a Master Teacher. Awesome visual aids. You inspire this teacher! JH
Mr. Pete, I work for a green sand foundry in Ga. Do you have any tips for hiring a pattern maker? We don't use CNC and they will be able to train with a master pattern maker! Thank you so much for sharing your craft!
hello sir, greetings from Greece. i was wandering, since the pan is cast iron, can't you use a magnet to pull it out of the mold? i think its less risky than flipping the whole mold upside down. Keep up the good work! i love your videos.
It was absolutely fabulous and amazing and wonderful and beautiful.God bless you dear mr pete you are a fabulous teacher and i thank you alot for making these great videos.
I really enjoy your videos, wish I had as much time as I once did to watch every minute of every one. I try and 'like' them anyway because it's my understanding that it helps your videos appear on searches, etc. Any who, keep up the excellent work! I always refer you to other people interested in machining/casting.
The "baby skillet" is made for smelting lead which is then hand poured into a bullet mold by DIY re-loaders. The two pouring lips make it suitable for left or right-handed pouring. If you feel you need a precious little one-egg frying pan... no frying police will stop you.
I took Foundry in High School back in East Moline where most of thought we were going to work at Deere, IH, Cat or Farmall.But as you know Mr. Pete The Farm implament capital of the world died.
I have a House of Webster cast iron Country Charm 12" electric skillet from the 1950's it sets on three legs. How did the manufacturer cast the skillet with the electric element in the bottom of this pan?
I find the riser unnecessary on small castings. You will see that I use 2 when I cast the plate. Also, when using water based clay sand. There is much more steam & gas that needs venting.
Thank you so much for this video! We are going to have castings made at a foundry in lower Michigan and a lot of what I learned was from your videos and your recommendation to follow Trainman4602. Please keep making videos as we look forward to them here at the shop!
Mini ash trays? I thought smoking was banned inside buildings? lol I checked in to having a match-plate made for my biz, it was $3500.00, for one plate with 2 small parts on it to save $. The pattern makers brother has a foundry across the street, looked like he was the rich one?
The apprentice pattern makers took about 10 years to become a journeymen, at Lime locomotive works, and was the most respected position in the shop, White & ties were the norm.
it is a bloody ashtray. that is what the little lugs are for, holding cigs. what does it matter what it was? i appreicate smokers, the taxes they pay helps me out, so thanks
You once asked why someone would click on the thumbs up before they had time to watch the video When the video ends it quickly jumps to the next video. I found myself clicking thumbs up when I get to the point of "This is good" before the end as I have done on this video. Also as mentioned by a viewer why no riser or vent hole???
Now I understand why those thumbs up (and downs) appear right away. I find the riser uneccesary on small castings. You will see that I use 2 when I cast the plate.
Start the video in the minimized state and look at the top right side for a little infinity sign and if it is bright click on it and then youtube will hold still after the video stops. I recently complained about this and someone put me wise to the cause of the problem.

Casting is one of my favorite means to make items. It's such a simple concept towards your finished product with little to no waste.

Thanks for watching, and glad to hear from another caster--not many of us.
Yes-teach your grandkids.
Great video. It is good to see some foundry work for a change. I know it is almost the same process every time but I guess I just like the idea. Thanks for sharing.
I really am enjoying your videos. I'm a retired die maker from Detroit. Thanks Bill
Thanks for watching!

Thank you--yes, build a forge

Thanks---good to hear from another teacher
Hi Mr Pete, Have tried to stay with it but couldn't find part 4. Enjoyed 1 to 3 though. Regards.
Great video, but i have a question.
What was use of the pattern which
was in drag filter? Was it to make the handle?
Mr. Pete, I work for a green sand foundry in Ga. Do you have any tips for hiring a pattern maker? We don't use CNC and they will be able to train with a master pattern maker!
Thank you so much for sharing your craft!
He needs to be an exalted craftsman.
A woodworker, metalworker, mathematician, and a man who can work with precision and accuracy
Sure like the way it looks at 14:30. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy seeing you having Fun!
Thank you

That is an excellent idea----just never thought of it. Will use it next time. thanks
happy to help :)
It was absolutely fabulous and amazing and wonderful and beautiful.God bless you dear mr pete you are a fabulous teacher and i thank you alot for making these great videos.
Thank you very much
I may never make one, but it is still extremely interesting to see the process in action. Thanks for the great video!
+willfrost Thanks
The subject is great - something I have wanted to know more about for ages. Thank you :-)

+smh3w Thanks
I must have missed it, is the molten material aluminum or steel?
Thanks for the video!
Must be aluminum since he said it was around 1200F. Steel melts at over 2000F.(and it looks like aluminum)
+RVJimD Thanks
hey ill probably never get to do it but i love to see how its done ,thank you
+idahormj66 Thanks

Much appreciated, Looking forward to the rest.

Very interesting and informative - Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us.
+John Strange Thanks
I took Foundry in High School back in East Moline where most of thought we were going to work at Deere, IH, Cat or Farmall.But as you know Mr. Pete The Farm implament capital of the world died.
+sinpac6161 Yes it did--thanks
Worked the jolt machine at a foundry in the early 70's one day on piece work. Made $90 that day.
+bc65925 Thanks
I have a House of Webster cast iron Country Charm 12" electric skillet from the 1950's it sets on three legs. How did the manufacturer cast the skillet with the electric element in the bottom of this pan?
No idea.
Count me in as a part of the niche audiance, soon I will find the courage to sart casting aluminum.
+gj3072 Thanks
I am Looking forward to the next segments, thank you
+Jack of all trades Thanks
cant wait for the next part mr pete
+Andy Coakes Thanks
Very interesting. Thanks Mr.P.
+princebatswater Thanks
What part of Illinois are u located?
Could someone explain why Tubalcain's molds do not have risers?
I find the riser unnecessary on small castings. You will see that I use 2 when I cast the plate. Also, when using water based clay sand. There is much more steam & gas that needs venting.
Great video!!
+Jeff Conti Thanks
Did you say "lycopodium?" Is that plant dust?
Thank you so much for this video! We are going to have castings made at a foundry in lower Michigan and a lot of what I learned was from your videos and your recommendation to follow Trainman4602. Please keep making videos as we look forward to them here at the shop!
Thanks for watching---glad I helped
very nice sir
reminds me of my grandmothers spoon rest

The apprentice pattern makers took about 10 years to become a journeymen, at Lime locomotive works, and was the most respected position in the shop, White & ties were the norm.
how did we got 2 pieces?
I wonder how many of the younger viewers know who Tubalcain was? ;-)
yeah satisfied..
Yes this is an ashtray.........made by Wagner Mfg. and Griswold Mfg.
it is a bloody ashtray. that is what the little lugs are for, holding cigs. what does it matter what it was? i appreicate smokers, the taxes they pay helps me out, so thanks
Made match plates and other as cast tooling for 40 years
👍👍👍
I’m sure it COULD be used as an ash tray...🤔
Absolutely not it’s for a paper clips
mrpete222 I was just teasin’ 🤣. I enjoy all of your content. I couldn’t help myself, I just thought it was funny.

You ever see the TH-cam videos of them guys in India pouring castings they're not even wearing shoes nevermind gloves
Yes. Shocking
Definitely not an ash tray
+Greg Feneis definitely
