Love it! A whole new way of making the molds. I really appreciate that you didn't just use the 3D printer, but took the time to show us another way to skin that proverbial cat.
That technique of using the board for alignment n expediency purposes is brilliant, droogie. More vids like this, please! I could eat popcorn n watch your videos on a playlist. Oh, wait! I already have! lol.
Another wonderful insight. So much learnt without a word of narration! Do you ever cast using steel? If so are there any tips, or might you have an episode in your library for me to watch. Many thanks.
I was on the fence about ordering one of these furnaces, but your previous vids convinced me. Did my first melt yesterday, and was happy with the results. Keep up the good work!
Hi Myfordboy. Are these items going to be available as a kit for others to machine and assemble? Joe Pie (Joe Pieczynski), has made various workshop machine tools along these lines. Great work as usual, and always a 'must watch first' video from you. Regards Mark in the UK
I can cast more legs if anyone wants some. I am working on a smaller version to match the scale of the bandsaw model in the previous video. It won't be a fully detailed one but a replica of the origional 1930s Marklin one to be driven by a model steam engine.
Always an education watching your videos, matchplate casting, superb 👍👍👍 I do have one question, do you know if that is the original bed for the lathe, I've not seen one like that before? Cheers, Alan.
an excellent informative vid. are you making these lathes for sale? if not, are they still available, and at what cost? as you may recall I've made critical comments previously but this is suberb technique, ty for sharing.
One thing i wana caution about cutting mdf with a laser, is that the fumes are highly toxic. So make sure to have a very good ventilation system. You do NOT wana breath that stuff.
@@myfordboy Oh, I wasn’t cautioning you. I know many people go about things, with out any concern about its chemical dangers, to themselves or the environment.

Hello my teacher.
Thanks!
Congratulations from Brazil
Another good lesson, I learn a bit more with each, even if you don't say much.
Thanks for sharing.

You cannot cast steel without industrial equipment. You can do iron at home.
@@iTeerRex the legs ARE made of aluminium, with some zinc aďded
@@andyb7963 I completely missed that part where he mentions what the metal is :/
Aluminum and zinc
You make it look very easy, very good 😊
Getting very fancy!
The Fairy liquid PVA never fails to fail yet we all have one and persist with it 👍
Good luck ..nice video

Good to hear.
How much you can learn by watching another nice interesting video.
One more great casting !
Wouldn'i it be less demanding in terms of finish for the pattern to 3D print it with drafts and fillets included ?
Just an alternative way of pattern making. I think a pattern with thin flat section is less trouble to finish than a printed one.

I assume it's original but i was suprised to see the plated finish. It is a casting.
@@myfordboy It was the plated finish that threw me. In all the photos I've seen they have a painted finish.
theres a very easy way to make the outline in fusion with another free program

Hello, please tell me the composition of your molding sand. Thanks in advance.
It's not a home made sand : www.artisanfoundry.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=38
Nice castings, not triffles!
Useful item, not shelf clutter or paper weights.
Can you tell me what is sand grain size? I wanna make my own mix because I can't find sand for casting where I live.
I do not know. Mine is a natural sand is extreemly fine, like dust when it's dry.
I would get the finest you can.
Just add another details to make it work effectively as it did in the past

My K40 laser has an exhaust fan vented to outside so no worries there.

TFS Myford Dude! GB :)
Belo trabalho

I'm first 👌
Have you ever tried this graphite flashing I saw in this old Clausing video? th-cam.com/video/nQaAKUAzK0w/w-d-xo.html
I have not found it necessary. Looks pretty messy too!
3d printing ruined your channel for me. Pattern making by hand was the thing for me. What a shame how technology has made many a craft a lost art
No 3D printing in this video.
I'm first 👌
