This video is an excellent tutorial for making your own castings. You had a ton of good tips on making the patterns.

Your neighbors mowing the lawn wasn't the problem, it was the background noise you added on top. English isn't my primary language, so I need extra focus to understand what was being said. I hated every second of those annoying birds chirping and making everything unnecessarily more difficult.

Yes, he should start work on casting a blunderbuss at once. Once finished he can deal to those pesky birds once & for all.

Ade Keith from Michigan. I've kept numerous videos from you. As of Nov 6th I should finally take delivery on a Mill, and have the features will make it much easier. If all goes well, I've been wanting to forward you a email. My Lathe is located in the basement, the Mill is also going in the basement too. Because since I live very close to our large lake, snow can get pretty deep. I'll keep you posted, take care now....

Ignore the ignorant haters, you've done really well there. Old castings as donor material have higher silica content in the alloy and will flow well into more complex moulds, but having said that, what you've done there is brilliant. 👍

Скорее всего это происходит из-за того что ток который выдает датчик меньше чем требуется для открытия транзистора, который находится в блоке искрообразования (модуль искры). Most likely this happens because the current that the sensor produces is less than that required to open the transistor, which is located in the spark unit (spark module).

Wheel weights are a cheap source of zink. Sometimes lead, but seldom now days. Dropping them on cement will tell you whats what. Zink will have more bounce and a different sound.

The spark is usually generated when the points are *opened* not closed.

Instead of zamak, try some white metal.... The melting point is waaay lower and you can make the mold with red silicone. Cheap and reusable.

i found your channel when o saw the castings you did a year ago. The problem is, what did you do with them? where is the video of them being used and an engine being made? I'm afraid your channel needs some continuity and regular updates for me to subscribe to it. I really enjoyed the casting video, but it needs the follow-on

i used a bit of cast iron pipe i got from the dump. i lined it with refractory cement and i used builders sand and lime to make a paint to line the furnance .. i used fine sand and molasses as casting sand, i cooked the mould with the sand mix like a cake and it set like cement, and it could be carved or sanded, to reuse it it goes soft if put it in a bucket with water, so reusable and eco friendly no chemicals
