Have seen a lot of these casting videos streaming on youtube as a background diversion. Yours is the first one I've seen in a long time that actually employs hydrogen degassing, a drossing flux and thermocouple temp measurement, so much respect for that! Adding a bit of filtration in the gating system (fiberglass screen or ceramic foam filter) would also help keep that clean metal cleaner. For all those aspiring foundry folks looking to up their game I'd recommend the works of John Campbell and the American Foundry Society. I work in the aerospace industry in the aluminum casting supply chain.
forgotten in public schools all over the world are shops-where kids learned how to make things. All they teach kids today is to buy things. Your hobby is an art, worth it's weight in gold.
Sadly, I disagree....people that are willing to pay for a true craftsman are very hard to find. If a hack charges less, that is where the money goes, especially if they are a smooth talker.
He didn't say anything about that Tim S. He was merely remarking that very few people these days know how to do, make or mend anything. That they know no different than to go out and buy things. There was no mention that they bought the things off of craftsmen.
Though I do tend to agree. Craftsmanship is becoming a thing of the past, few people can afford the services of a true craftsman. Equally, things move on change and improve, this is simply natural progress. Though we are definitely letting it go too quickly and readily.
I think his main point was, that we no longer teach anything remotely like practical hands on skills any longer. Certainly NOT in the way I remember we used to do, And it seems as if Mr Saunders also does.
@@tims4768 Yes BUT TIM that is the sad part about this!! In my day like in this video as a kid I was taught how to use my hands to MAKE THINGS!! True craftsman as you said ARE HARDER TO FIND because schools no longer teach "trade skills"!! So Tim Saunders IS CORRECT becuase kids today are NOT BEING TAUGHT ANY ACTUAL SKILLS the are now taught to "consume, waste and throw away" and that nothing has any real "value"!!! It has killed the art of "trade skills" or "craftsmanship" as folks like myself once learned!!
And looking at my grand kids I have a step grandson who watched me take old salvaged lumber and built a bench, a table and a whole DECK out of the wood I was given as "junk". But my step grand son kept telling me "You built a CRAP table!" with the joke to him being "scrap wood"!! He thought it was funny to keep telling me the table was "crap" but at the same time it saved me a ton of money and even made me money as I got paid to built the deck out of the salvage lumber I had left over from the whole load I was given for free!!! And my same step grand son was too stupid to realize I earned myself $80 for a deck I would have got nothing for had I just took it all to the garbage and PAID $90 to get rid of it as a load of trash!!! BUT you can't explain that to kids these days, because they think people just HAND YOU MONEY like it is their job to pay you for nothing!! And the real slap in the face is that his own father (who is my step daughter's husband) couldn't build a dog house out of BRAND NEW WOOD!!!! I know this as FACT because I watched my step grand son's father waste almost $150 in lumber to chop it up into firewood after he failed to build a dog house out of the wood he bought!! Showing me my step grand son has NO APPRECIATION for actual "skills" or craftsmanship and as for the bench, table and deck I built out of "scrap wood" (salvaged lumber) here today in October of 2019 I still have the stuff I build out of that lumber! The deck I made out of the same stuff is STILL on my neighbors house now 10 years after I built it, the bench and table I made for myself I use every day in the summer and sits outside year round in New York Winters!! So he can call my stuff "CRAP" all he wants.......when I built it I knew what the hell I was doing....and it lastly because I used skills he will never have!!!
ive never heard of such shops
@@gregbenwell6173 The whole point of a "public education" these days is to turn out stupid Democrats (or liberals in the UK). That way, they will always be dependent of the government.
Hello Myfordboy! My father was a Brass Moulder and made ship propelers in yoker glasgow at bulls metal foundry bull dale st Yoker.
My grandfather was the same and my father was my grandfather's apprentice. However even although the trade was taught to me over the breakfast Table! I later cast a bronze propeler for a small boat in my back yard which an 1950 was a pre war prefab. however I have now been watching your videos and I find them very educational!. I now have my furnace a stainless steel beer barrel just the firebrick to put in. I have my aluminum saved and it is in a very large barrel. so later in the month I hope to make a few cleats for my boat.
I will then post the video of my work on utube. thanks for all the informative videos just great stuff so at 70 I have a new hobby. cheers. tom copland in ayr scotland.
You should get some good castings as it's in your blood!
I've been watching you for quite some time. I am amazed that you are able to accomplish work like this on your knees!?
I'm up in age, and very active, but I could only tolerate a few minutes on my knees bending over, working on a concrete floor. I offer my respect and withhold my jealousy. 😂
Greatly enjoy your channel! Thank you for putting this knowledge out here.
I spent a lot of my working life as an electrician on my knees. My trousers have built on knee pads and are comfortable to kneel on.
man.. you made it looks easy..
what I like most is your way to turn papers and woods into something amazing
I'm amazed how you make foundry work so easy. Another great video, thank you.
Your sifting machine is sweet! Kudos, brother!
Great job of tempering the sand, experience shows how nicely the finished casting came out, I am very impressed, cheers!
As always another thumbs up from my side.
Just keep uploading ,we are always there to encourage you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love your videos. So informative and concise, no endless comments. Just knowledge!!!
You have amazing skill and a great deal of experience. Loving your channel. Impeccable workmanship
Your improvised electric sifter is truly inspirational! First class video as usual. :)
Thorough, methodical, and fascinating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, tips, and techniques.
Did You clean or wash
the sand by water
@@Hbtom21Yohannes Not sure if you meant to ask me, or MyFordBoy, but if you watch from 4:30-6:00, you'll get an idea of his sand processing technique. First he sieves it to remove or breakdown clumps, then he spreads it out fairly evenly, applies some water with a mister, and checks it for the right consistency.
Love the power sieve! So simple and effective.
Perfect cure for my Myfordboy withdrawal symptoms, need more casting vid's sir!
That's an awesome shaker contraption. I now have the desire to build my own.
I agree that is one creative vibration setup!
Very good video. Most people don't know the amount of work involved in making a set of these castings. I've been working on the set you sent me. I have the cylinders completed. These are top quality castings at a fair price.
Lonnie
so nice to see the finished casting used in your engine, love it,
Best aluminum casting TH-cam channel 👍.
Totally agree with you, this guy has done it all, and looking at his blog too is just super informative pop, when I have completed my current jobs then I will buy the materials and make some casting work for my American van, between the videos and the blogs it must save lots of time and expense, by doing it right first time. Thank you so very much in advance....phil
The reciprocating saw contraption alone got my thumbs up, the rest is just fabulos.
One of the most underrated channel for casting thanks for the knowledge!!
MACGYVER HAS GOT NOTHING ON THIS GUY...WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. THIS GUY IS THE MASTER...
now thats the most ingenious sand sifter i have ever seen !!
Great job!
I always admire how you work!
Always a treat, to see another one of your videos. Cheers
The natural movements of a person that has done it a million times.
It’s all in the wrist a brick layer told me.
always interesting to watch the process of a craftsman.
Love your silent videos, great work as always. GREAT CHANNEL
are you deaf ?? you can hear crows from time to time, and the continual swish of traffic...……………….
Yeah, I can hear the pleasant sound of work getting done. It is great!
Your sifting setup is awesome
Sir Mark of a true tradesmen. You made that look so easy!
Greetings from Tunisia .thank you for the detailed processes. GOD bless you
Love the step by step video format.
really nice casting as always. a little in awe.
Those grooves inside the box make so much sense
Man that sifter is so cool. I wish I could double thumbs up this.
I am so intrigued by this. I do almost everything now, and metallurgy and casting is honestly the last thing besides chemistry I want to learn. I have my own bridgeport and lathe and do all of my own head repairs and just bought a boring bar to do blocks. There's so many projects where I need a aluminum side cover for my restoration, and the pull start covers for 3 wheelers are a couple hundred bucks. I have plenty of aluminum and recently built a foundry for smelting, and I get to use up all of my old oil. Free heat! Thanks for the video. I'm going to watch a lot more as this is my first. I watched others, but your attention to detail is how I am. Still have to research the co2 that you used.
Love the ingenious sand sieve brilliant idea , very entertaining and informative thank you .
That core mold is genius.
Pure art! Congratulations!
you deserve 10 million subscribers.
Great job.
I enjoy watching your videos
Ох! Я прошу прощения за первый отзыв. Вы очень крутой специалист. Я восхищён. Превосходное литьё!
I love the sieve construction!!!
love the sabre shaker
Briliant shaker. great video, thank you.
That’s a genius way of filtering the sand!
Did this in shop class in 8th grade. Took a nice schrade knife blade and cast a cool aluminum handle on it. It was cool enough that some one stole it from me 40 yrs ago.
you do nice work! i worked for walton foundry years ago. 1963-65, i think!. cast iron foundry, about the same with the moulds, tho.
we used form that a crane lifted them. some weighed more than a ton for the big castings for the oil field pumps. nice, work. be safe!
Your videos area joy to watch! I love the way your processes have developed over the years.
I'm a mechanical engineer, I worked for Hamilton Jet in NZ for 8 years. We ran two large, sand casting aluminium foundries where I spent a lot of time doing installations and upgrades.
Watching you work brings back memories of the various processes required to make good castings.
One little observation which may be of interest to you - We never put bare metal steel tools into the liquid aluminium, they were always coated with a thick green 'paint', this was to prevent iron from dissolving into the melt and reducing it's tensile strength. The tools were also always preheated to drive off surface moisture to avoid adding traces of water and hence additional hydrogen into the melt. Sorry, I can't recall the name of the green paint, it needed to be reapplied regularly. Regards Paul
I think it's a ceramic coating that's baked on.
Another fantastic video!
this is sooo good. thank you very much for sharing!
Very relaxing to watch. Almost like Bob Ross painting, that’s a good thing.
Not only was it wonderful to watch your work, but what could be a more noble reason to cast than for that lovely engine?
el mejor blog de internet sobre como fundir aluminio y fabricar los moldes ,sin secretos y sin mezquindad, realmente un maestro
Merci beaucoup pour le partage de votre maitrise technique (Thank you very much for sharing your technical mastery)
I really dig the reciprocating saw sand sifter.
Nicely done. Enjoyed.
What an art form. I can understand mass production, but for a couple of pieces? Thats crazy!
Congratulations. Wonderful work. (Bill from Brazil)
Trabajo excelente, muy bien explicado.
At 10.38 it looks like a death ray gun. Awsome work/passion
Yammy ! Pop's freshly baked engine block !
Love this video. Especially the screening of used sand using an old reciprocal saw. I've been looking for good videos to have my students watch in my casting unit. thanks
Excellent video: Great on melt prep.. I worked in aluminum flat rolling for 18 years and know the process from casting rolling ingots and cast sheet through finish and pack. Quality begins in the cast house.
Beautiful molds and mold making. The way you mull the sand is quite inventive. It's kill my back. I cast most cast iron and built a mullet. It's really sweet but literally took 4x as long as I thought. Still, muller's are awesome!
I love the skill you show. Quick, precise, no stupid mistakes.
I'd make a muller but I don't have room for it.
Excellent video MB
FASCINATING!!!!!!!! That was educational 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for your sharing. Very good sand casting process video, i learnt more from your video.
The 3D printer is coming in handy now. I guess that pattern makers may be loosing work in the industry soon. Love the lesson. Please keep them coming. You teach so much with out saying much. That is a gift.
There aren't many real journeyman or master patter makers left. I started in a pattern shop in June of 1974, at that time there were 13 pattern makers, 6 apprentices, and a bunch of us riggers and helpers. The foundry I worked at was the last large one in the area, and It finally closed in March of 2003. At that time there were three pattern makers and 4 riggers. I suspect at least 90% of the patter making capacity has disappeared from the USA since 1981.
@MichaelKingsfordGray-- Most of the losses we've seen have been due to foundry closures. I do still have some friends that have small pattern shops, but nothing like 40 years ago. I do have a friend that runs a foundry that is producing patterns with CNC machinery. They still have a couple of pattern makers to do the fine tuning.
Funny and ingenious at the same time thankyou for the inspiration
One very much has the sense that you know what you are doing!
Good video explained very effectively....good job done.
O my god it's fantastic video
It's help me a lot for practicle purpose
Fascinating!
Now this guy is resourceful, love the use of the saws all. As always, excellent results.
This video is awesome!
Great casting how to video!
amazing technique 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Great video, very helpful. Many thanks
Rotating flame in the furnace mesmerizes 👍
Love the sifter
Excellent job,well done.
Very precise and smart. Con gratulations sir.
having this skill you can easily distinguish the engine block, cool
Your sieve is just so genius
Awesome job sir... clearly understood..👌👌
Das Sieb ist das Geilste Ding das ich jemals gesehen habe 👍 tolles Video
THE BEST VIDEOS!
I really enjoy seeing home casting ideas. I have a thought: is it better to sandcast or cnc mill?
Hmm🤔
Never seen such CLEAR and COMPLETE processing. Spellbound :)
Great job!
Nice video for students
It will help them to read about casting process and method
Super video !!! ( as usual ) 👍👍👍
With this skills you can build a factory.
It one of my biggest priorities
You are really ingenious, better than McGyver! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, learned a lot!
Great video and understood the process nice and simple, obviously takes practice as i screw up a lot...although guess like my forge that runs on coal, been wanting to go gas for couple years but can't afford a bottle of gas (first world problem)
Its why we need more people teaching real skills like this man, least then some of us might survive a new world order
Excelente video
Brilliant video
Thank you for sharing knowledge.
After WW3 you will survive whilst being able to make everything with about nothing. respect!
Laughed my ass off while seeing you using a recipro for a completely different job, well done!
