Mr Pete, I've been watching you for over four years now. Just as a note: Your "older" videos a great Saturday night entertainment. Once again thank you.
Another great video mr. Pete I would have liked to have had you as a shop teacher back in the day. but at least I get to learn from you now thanks for all the great videos
Mr Pete is better than your average shop or trade school teacher because you can sit at home watching all the relevant videos and re-play them as necessary. Cant do that at school.
Love your videos! I am a machinist and do a lot of different projects. My real hot button is building long range rifles using the Mauser 98 action. I have learned from your videos different techniques. Always something new to learn. Thanks! Anyway my dad did a lot of casting and I turned his forge when I was little. He made an RC jet boat casted all the parts and machined them from molds he had made. Also made a 1950 Buick with the grill and door handles hood ornament suspension. It takes me back watching your casting videos of those days I helped him with his projects. I can go on with the things he could do. Thanks Mr. Pete and please do the rePetes sounds interesting.
This is absolutely amazing. I was struggling to come up with a way to cast a part I need for a university project. The pattern couldn’t be removed without destroying the mold. But with this incredibly powerful technique I feel I can cast so much more, which my project will no doubt require. Thank you.
Awesome video. You are an amazing teacher. You are that one teacher that everyone of your students will remember for the rest of their lives. You have a way of grabbing ones attention making it fun to learn. Can't understand anyone giving you a thumbs down. 😞
Casting videos, and the info within are always fascinating. Despite a renewed interest in casting, it seems in large an under appreciated craft, but where would we be without it?
"Parting" with a bit of blood into your efforts ensures a little bit of your spirit is in all that you make! Another very interesting and informative video. Thank you good Sir.
thank you Mr Pete , great video. I am trying to go back and watch your older videos when I have time. maybe catch one or two a week. kind of like make up home work , alot of lessons but I will catch up with the rest of the class
Thank you for the endorsement. Google suggested various links, but the following looks best, or is there another? Thought I would sign up for the monthly subscription and binge watch. The monthly option seems to let one sample other courses too. www.mrpete222.com/page4
I would suggest yo buy the vids directly from me. Please watch this youtube video for details, "FIRECRACKER SPECIAL for tubalcain ATLAS Lathe & Bridgeport Mill VIDEO COURSES "
Mr. Pete, I've got a lot of catching up to do on your 900 other videos! This is the first full video of yours that I've watched since I saw you on a Diresta vlog, and I'm really digging your content. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
I really liked this great casting video and learned a lot from it. I finally bought the latest, model 8220 12V cordless Dremel with an extra battery for trimming jobs like this one. The second battery cost half as much as the tool but it's worth it not to be tied to a 120V outlet. Thanks Mr. Pete for showing us how it's done.
I also hate throw away batteries but love the latest lithium ion rechargables. The 12 volt Dremels (Bosch owned) are powerful, charge in about 1 hr. and maintain 80 percent speed until "wop" the motor shuts off and a battery swap is necessary. Cutting off rusty barn door screws is now much quicker.
Thanks Mrpete, always educational. Never done any casting but If I try I will rewatch you 1st. Thanks for the hard work on your videos, I also have a channel and most people have not got a clue on the work that goes in to a video like this. Sometimes a full day of work for a 5min video. Thanks again
Thanks for watching. Yes-these 2 vids took almost a week--the companion vid also took some experimentation and some cost. And then very few watch this type of video--they like to watch a
Ignore the mindless negatives. Their problem, is that it makes them feel superior in a demented sort of way. Thoughtful feedback however, is pure gold.
So delightful, inspiring & enriching. Came in from a vexing car job, feeling down & then this video transported me to a whole better place & a much happier mind ready now to again fight brake callipers. My own casting efforts are still very primitive, but this so motivates me to advance. Thank you!
Awesome video, thank you so much for sharing :) Been slowly putting together a home machine shop after finding your channel a couple years ago, I learn best by watching/doing and you good sir a dream to watch and a real inspiration. I got my machines cheap as they needed a little work, I have a 1940s Grayson lathe which is now running sweet (got the runout down to .003" from .070"), and Mk1 Dore Westbury mill which I'm still fixing up (just the spindle pulley bushings left to install now, she was built well thankfully so not taken long to sort out). I'm definitaly going to build a foundry once the mill is fixed. I didn't even have to convince the wife this time as I have been granted free access to an unlimited supply of scrap aluminium from my workplace. Win win situation for both of us it saves them paying for it to be taken away, and I get materials and parts to play with :)
Great video. The idea of doing odd shapes is what caught my attention. Looking at casting cylinders for a steam locomotive, and the shape has so many odd angles that I was not sure where to start with the pattern making (and get a foundary to do the casting) This video gives some inspiration that I might be able to figure something for odd shapes.
Thank you. I always learn something from your wonderful videos. Makes me wish I had been one of your student--I guess, I am one of your students now. Thanks, again.
very well presented Mr Pete I usually learn something from your videos and do go back and review and watch your videos over again matter of fact just watched #273 on layout fluid so I could make some so thanks for sharing it's much appreciated
Screw the haters!! My dad turned me on to your videos years ago, been hooked ever since. I have never ever toucher that hating thumb down button. Can't wait for the next video, you are amazing, keep doing what your doing!
I guess if you mark that parting line with the green ink, then spoon down to your mark, it might be easier to see how far to go. WOW, the things I took for granted. You're right, this is art. Thanks for the primer.
Superb video Mr Pete, very well explained in easy steps to follow. Really enjoyed seeing how complex shapes can be cast in sand, will enjoy seeing others you do. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making these videos and sharing your knowledge to us all. Particularly like these and the machining videos. Best regards.
I have watched some of the RePete's and they are very informative. I am going to try my hand at aluminum casting, soon! I need to make a six spoke spider for a ham radio antenna. It is the center for an antenna that requires six spokes to support perimeter wires and is called a hex beam. We'll see! Thanks, Greg.
entertaining and informative videos... I cannot understand why anyone would give u a thumbs down like you said. thank you for the video. and my only complaint is that you make things seem so simple when all I am doing is struggling with the same procedure (is that spelt right? LOL). Thanks you for showing me that the problem is me and not the mechanics of the thing. LOL. have a great day
I like the way you over explain things, not being sarcastic. Don't care about trolls.... they are everywhere. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll see the T-Ups will far outweigh the T-Downs.... like in this video. I appreciate your manner of speaking, I find it easy to listen to. Great Stuff, Keep it up, Kudos!
also just wanted to add, thank you for showing this. I've never thought about it, but it's going to be an issue with some parts I need to cast. Now I have a great idea of the concept, and a good clear video to reference should I forget.... we all know memory is fleeting the older we get.
Another well produced and instructional video. You have a great style and delivery. I have learned a great deal from many of these videos. As you say cheap talc works well as parting powder its what i use for pewter and aluminium.
Thanks for the great video. Some of us do go back and watch the old videos. I use your videos as a reference library. Whenever I want to do something I may not have ever done before and sometimes when I forget exactly how I did something once before I go right to mrpete222 on youitube.
Great information. I have done some simple casting, but never tried something like you just did. With the technique you just did I now will give it a try. Believe it or not I actually have a Coke original old bottle opener to practice on :-) Thanks again!
Build the original up with bondo to make it thicker. Then you have extra material to work down on the copy to make it smoother and stronger than the original.
Yeah but in some cases it may be necessary. I felt that cast cover that flipped over your lathe behind the chuck that was broke in half could have been built up thicker before casting.
Hey Pete, I always thumb up you videos in the first few seconds. You talk about watching the old videos that you reference in this one. It would be a GREAT HELP if you put links to those in the description. I love to connect all the info you provide so would it be too much trouble to add those links? Yours truly, Another admiring fan.
Every coke machine or cooler had one. Stores invariably had at least one stuck somewhere, usual over a trash bin for the caps. One had to put a bottle opener on their keychain or in the glove box if they didn't want to get stuck without and end up resorting to using their teeth or sharp edge of something . Totally useless now but fun to watch you make the cast.
Mr Pete I think you would be a great dentist if you could figure out how to hold your patience head in your Bridgeport vice , and get some very small end mills
Yes, if only you had been a dentist. I had my wisdom teeth out a week ago, and judging by the aftermath, I'd rather you would've done it in your basement shop. But thanks for another interesting video to ease my recovery!
MrPete, let me be the first to second the comment about putting the links to the videos you describe in the description of the video. I like to follow your line of thinking and meander through your videos based on your recommendations. Sincerely, One of your fans who came to see you in Ohio! P.S. Sounds like the robins are angry! I have two nests under my deck and often get berated by the father birds when I venture too close.
Mr Pete, can you suggest a good place to get casting sand? I know many get playbox sand and mix it with a form of clay. What would you suggest? Thanks as always. I really enjoy your videos. ps,,,, You probably have covered this already but my old brain's memory is like an old cat,,, comes back when it wants to.
Bentonite clay. Which is one kind of kitty litter. Making your own casting sand is a lot of work. You have to ball mill the clay, then mix it with the right kind of sand, which is not really play sand (filter sand would be better). Then you need to temper the mix. Instead of water you can use 2 stroke oil for that. But if you do all that you might be able to make a reasonable facsimile of Petrobond.
Thanks Paul. Yeah, when I first got into home foundry, and this was early 90's, you could get a lot of the stuff you needed locally. Now it's really tough just getting fire clay. And the prices are out of site. I think I may go the Petrobond route if I decide to do the foundry trip again. Thanks again for the tips on making the mix,,,, will keep that in mind.
Have you ever used a Foredom, or do you own a Foredom? I'm asking only because it would be a handy tool to have to clean up the rough edges of castings like this one you've made.
I finished up a kitchen cabinet this morning and some how I managed to cut myself and get a spot of blood on the faceplate of one of the drawers. Have no idea how I cut myself.
While sometimes your refusal to polish and shine drives my slightly OCD half to distraction ... (my problem, not yours!). In this instance I think the slightly ragged edges actually enhance the home made feel of the part - I'd be proud to open a bottle with it and drink your to health. Shame cast Iron isn't a possibility. :D
:::raise hand for a question:: Does it need a riser or relief holes from the "far end" of the pattern from the sprue? or does the sand you use 'breathe" enough to not require it?
YAY! A Mr Pete video.. My Saturday is complete :) Playdogh .... YES! Lame puns ..YES! Troll baiting..YES! (As the great Clause Kellerman or 'World of Tanks' would say about the endless stream of stupids.. " Shoot 'em up the ass!" And so to the foundry.... See how much joy you bring Mr Pete :)
One time my uncle's little girl had put a bead in her ear and they couldn't get it out. She wasn't in any distress or anything, but they couldn't get it out, so they brought her to the ER. The doctor took one look at it, then grabbed a paper clip, straightened it out, and put a single drop of super glue on the tip of it. He had the bead out in just a few seconds. My guess is it wasn't the first time he had to fish something out of somebody's ear.

Thanks for watching! Your dad must of been very talented--and so are you.
Excellent Mr Pete, you are an extremely clear and effective instructor - not a moulder but understood exactly what you are saying - excellent.
thanks
Outstanding Mr. Pete, don't let the negatives get you down. If you don't get an occasional minor bump and scrape, your not working hard enough.
Thank you for making these fantastic videos. They are very entertaining and educational. 👍
Thanks for watching
Thanks for increasing my understanding of metal casting. Your explanation is wonderful.
Thanks
The trolls aren't even worth the mention, your efforts in being prepared and showing sound processes are not unnoticed, you are a good teacher.
Thank you very much
First thing I do is a thumbs up before I watch the video
Thanks for watching

But with this incredibly powerful technique I feel I can cast so much more, which my project will no doubt require. Thank you.

You bleed for your work! That's true dedication. I salute you sir.

Thanks for watching--you will need to watch 1 or 2 a day to catch up-lol
Very informative. I've just started to collect the parts for a beginner foundry and will be referring to your videos a lot.
Mr. Pete offers a foundry course that's a great resource.

I do the same thing. And they're all worth re-watching.

Re-Pete! That was just perfect
Thank you VERY much
I love your casting video's and feel you need to do more. Thanks
Already have many
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Sorry, I had to say that.

Oh man, LoL
absolutely love your videos! always great content. you're full of so much knowledge, thank you for sharing it!
Thanks so much
nahh.. not skipping forward your videos.. thanks for showing this stuff
Thanks for watching
Another great video. Thank you Mr Pete.
Thanks for watching
always look forward to your videos.
Thanks for watching
Build the original up with bondo to make it thicker. Then you have extra material to work down on the copy to make it smoother and stronger than the original.
too much sanding
Yeah but in some cases it may be necessary. I felt that cast cover that flipped over your lathe behind the chuck that was broke in half could have been built up thicker before casting.
Thanks for another good video, always very educational.
Thanks

Every coke machine or cooler had one. Stores invariably had at least one stuck somewhere, usual over a trash bin for the caps. One had to put a bottle opener on their keychain or in the glove box if they didn't want to get stuck without and end up resorting to using their teeth or sharp edge of something .

Great, MrPete I did see the whole video, thumbs up

Yes, if only you had been a dentist. I had my wisdom teeth out a week ago, and judging by the aftermath, I'd rather you would've done it in your basement shop. But thanks for another interesting video to ease my recovery!

Hahahha, "re-petes". That was funny Mr. Pete
glad you caught it
Lyle. Why did you only fit a gate and not a riser ? how did the air/ mold gas escape ? I had always used gate and riser.
No need on small castings. Remember that the sand is permeable
cant wait for the next one!
Thanks for watching
Very good, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your loyalty
Do you always put the gate on the drag? Thanks for the great videos!
either way works
pete your the best !

Mr Pete, can you suggest a good place to get casting sand? I know many get playbox sand and mix it with a form of clay. What would you suggest? Thanks as always. I really enjoy your videos.
ps,,,, You probably have covered this already but my old brain's memory is like an old cat,,, comes back when it wants to.
The only source I know is MONIGER FOUNDRY SUPPLY-chicago. Very expensive & shipping will kill you
Bentonite clay. Which is one kind of kitty litter. Making your own casting sand is a lot of work. You have to ball mill the clay, then mix it with the right kind of sand, which is not really play sand (filter sand would be better). Then you need to temper the mix. Instead of water you can use 2 stroke oil for that. But if you do all that you might be able to make a reasonable facsimile of Petrobond.

And the prices are out of site. I think I may go the Petrobond route if I decide to do the foundry trip again. Thanks again for the tips on making the mix,,,, will keep that in mind.

While sometimes your refusal to polish and shine drives my slightly OCD half to distraction ... (my problem, not yours!).
In this instance I think the slightly ragged edges actually enhance the home made feel of the part - I'd be proud to open a bottle with it and drink your to health.
Shame cast Iron isn't a possibility. :D
Thanks for watching
Another terrific, enjoyable episode.
Out of curiosity - Is the aluminum casting a bit smaller than the original because of shrinkage?
yes
se aprende mucho con usted....
Thanks for watching
I watched both parts, very interesting and well presented.
Just curious, have you tried the aluminum opener? If so, does it withstand the abuse?
Thanks for watching
great video, thank you! the more important bottles are not twist-off!!
Very interesting!
:::raise hand for a question:: Does it need a riser or relief holes from the "far end" of the pattern from the sprue? or does the sand you use 'breathe" enough to not require it?
its permeable
Excellent detailed Video Sir. You sacrificed your blood for the video How Courageous Sir. I have to learn, learn, learn from you sir. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
excellent video. thank you.
Thanks for watching
YAY! A Mr Pete video.. My Saturday is complete :)
Playdogh .... YES!
Lame puns ..YES!
Troll baiting..YES! (As the great Clause Kellerman or 'World of Tanks' would say about the endless stream of stupids..
" Shoot 'em up the ass!"
And so to the foundry.... See how much joy you bring Mr Pete :)
Thanks for watching!
Is a pleasure :)
Thanks for watching

In regard to picking it up;
Since it is non ferrous metal (aluminum) use a non ferrous magnet to pick the piece up.

One time my uncle's little girl had put a bead in her ear and they couldn't get it out. She wasn't in any distress or anything, but they couldn't get it out, so they brought her to the ER. The doctor took one look at it, then grabbed a paper clip, straightened it out, and put a single drop of super glue on the tip of it. He had the bead out in just a few seconds. My guess is it wasn't the first time he had to fish something out of somebody's ear.
Wouldn't a casting like this be a good candidate for lost wax?
YES

Why is the petrabond black? I only can find brown, sure it doesn't make a difference.
It always turns dark after a few uses. As the oil burns up
