Casting Hand Wheel for SOUTH BEND Shaper 697 tubalcain

[@alexvonbosse5090]

Hello Lyle, I watch most of your videos and apologize for not commenting on each and every one of them. Your knowledge on so many subjects in as many different fields is absolutely astonishing and second to none! Your accompanying comments on many of your videos bring back so many good memories from my time as an apprentice some 60 years ago. To bad so many schools fail to teach industrial arts classes, whether wood working, metal working/machine shop or other types of trades! This particular post especially brings back memories from my first years in this country assisting in making patterns for items on a machine we were building and my introduction to shrink rulers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and keep up your great work!

[@kimber1958]

Very nice job I like the screwheads the detail is very good. Thank you very much for your contacts you contribute largely to my education and machining at 62 years old

[@oldhick9047]

I have been told to "pound sand" many times. thank you Lyle for clearing that up for me.

[@ShortySmooth4U]

Mr Pete Thank you for sharing your process. It is because of videos like this I decided to revisitmy favorite shop class from 1979. I have gone from KZbin videos to a working 5 flask hobby foundry. Every casting is a joy. Thanks for the knowledge and the inspiration.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, and good luck with your castings

[@lathammarx1458]

Casting looks pretty good, considering the difficulties you had with the pattern. Love these foundry videos.

[@windyhillfoundry5940]

Really nice work Lyle👍. Plates always give me fits on deep relief so I was very impressed to see the deep side pulled cleanly

[@Bigen-11]

Thanks so much for your videos! I enjoy them more than you will ever know!

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Lyle.....reminds me of my high school/collage days...(how I wish the folks in charge had not canceled the wonderful hands on work programs in the local schools. Those classes were the start of my inventive imagination. The calluses were on my entire hand instead of today of just on the tips of my fingers with this keyboard!!!!).......TM

[@TERRYB0688]

Your some talented guy Mr Pete 👍

[@garthbutton699]

Do your videos whatever way makes you feel the best I'll be here to watch them and thank you for all your efforts.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Great job of casting. Thanks for the video.

[@sandrammer]

Just a suggestion; the next time you want to cut in a riser like you did with this one, you can insure that you will center the riser if you cut the sand through the inside of the mold cavity instead of doing it from the outside before you pull it apart. In addition, you should have the riser no smaller than the diameter of the area you're trying to feed. In fact the rule is that the riser should be one and a half times the diameter of the part you're trying to feed. Casting looks good. Would be interested to see if you have a small void in the boss when you drill/reem out the boss. It won't be very big and might be off set like the riser was.

[@davescreations7793]

Wow Mr Pete that came out great what a great job thank you very much for what you do and your videos

[@not2fast4u2c]

It does look like a good one ..The machining video on this piece will be a must see video

[@gofastwclass]

Thanks for another foundry video, I like them and learn a lot.

[@lewismadeknifeandtool]

Been a long time fan Mr Pete. Thank you for continuing to create excellent content we all love and learn from! - Rob

[@greaser5691]

Awww... leave the screw heads visible, Mr Pete.... confuse the next guy who works on it :) Happy New Year, Sir.

[@planeflyer21]

"I've tried everything...Break Free, WD-40, impact driver...I just keep stripping the screw heads!"

[@greaser5691]

@@planeflyer21 And they are so soft too.... how did they get them so tight?

[@ohmbug10]

😂 Can we say: schadenfreude? I gotta admit, sometimes it's fun.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Yes, that would be funny

[@Crewsy]

You have a pretty low expectation on humanity if you think anyone is that stupid. Yupp. I believe I know people that stupid.

[@593Thresher]

After the wheel is complete, and you want to add some Abom79 torque, you can buy an 8" Titan "Suregrip" valve wheel wrench for ~$30 - or you could make one. I'd watch you do that - I'm addicted to this channel...

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Nice looking handle. Quick work. Thank you for sharing.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Really nice. That will work great.

[@mikenixon9164]

I would like too see more project videos. The float lock vise was a great one. Good video.

[@jonsworkshop]

Great result Lyle, I thought the fall in would be worse than that when I saw the mold, turned out just fine. I am with you on the screw heads, I think they spoil the look of the handwheel (especially once you have it finished). Nice job. Cheers, Jon

[@larryschweitzer4904]

I like your casting setup. Very professional.

[@JamesDedmon]

It fascinates me to watch castings, just the equipment needed is more than I wish to do

[@fall22123]

Great vid, Mr Pete. Can't wait till the next one. About the screw heads, I know cast iron pans have them sometimes. More than likely the antique ones. They would put them in the wooden patterns near the handle to mark them for some reason. I wonder if that confused the heck out of someone that tried to remove it thinking it was a screw.

[@TheRatshooter]

Thanks for the video! If this a new format or masterplan, I approve! Leave the rants and horse beating to the Vlog. This style is much appreciated!

[@paulp96275]

Great casting forget about the small fall in that will clean up well done 👨🏻‍🏭🇬🇧

[@the4thj]

Every time I see you do this process I am intrigued and impressed. Thank you Happy New year

[@1607rosie]

Nice job Mr Pete!

[@kgee2111]

I’ve never seen this done before. Thank you Mr. Pete! P.S. I think the screw heads look kinda neat!

[@MrPatdeeee]

Waiting patiently to see this finished. Awesome so far. Thank You Lyle.

[@mkegadgets4380]

Can’t wait to see the machining.

[@dannyl2598]

Good morning Mr Pete. Happy New year

[@mrc1539]

I think it came out really good , it shouldn’t take a whole lot of handwork to clean it up . Well Done !

[@geckoproductions4128]

Wow Mr. Pete, "I sure hope it comes out"--right. You ARE the master. As an exercise in comparison and contrast I watched another video on some Nigerians casting cooking pots and utensils out of aluminum car wheels. It was an AMAZING non-example and demonstration of what NOT to do from wearing flip-flops in the casting ops (never mind safety glasses or aprons. One guy was barefooted), to a quality control non-example of patching blemishes and even small holes with epoxy and aluminum paint. I don't want to be too critical though, at least they were working and honest work is honorable work. I'm not posting this video because it appears to be dangerous on a lot of levels to me, but just wanted you to know how far toward the top of that professional totem pole you are, especially relative to these guys. Thank you for setting the proper example for safety and character by not accepting half-assed work

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for commenting. I watched those guys also . Very entertaining, but they make me cringe

[@mdouglaswray]

Jeez Mr. Pete, watching you ram that sand makes me think you'd be hell in a fistfight.

[@ohmbug10]

Very nice Mr. Pete. Slight fall in imperfections can be thought of as "adding charachter".

[@brucekiszely2995]

Love the foundry videos!!, Keep them coming!!, 👍🇺🇲

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Nice work Mr. Peterson...

[@stime6472]

Something from nothing. Love it!

[@davidsandberg7631]

I was in Sunday school awhile back and we were studying Genesis and came across Tubalcain and thought of you.

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@mwechtal]

The spead up section with you packing the sand looked like you were really beating the snot out of it! 😁

[@stanervin6108]

Morning, Lyle. Fastest ramming I've ever seen!

[@OnCNCcom]

Mr. Pete is pounding sand! :)

[@phillipyannone3195]

Looks great. Looking forward to the next one.

[@pear7777]

These youtubers now a days, so fast at their jobs, looks like they speed up to lightning speed now and then.

[@MaturePatriot]

It looks good. A die grinder would be used to clean that up at the factory, and all would be right with the world. Great video. New Years weekend coffee with Tubalcain, doesn't get any better than this.

[@JS-tu1ti]

Great stuff as always!!!!

[@inspector1794]

I could tell it was cold by how fast you were working to get it done and back into the warm house. Thanks for the content Happy New Year

[@mrpete222]

Yes it was!

[@AJR2208]

Happy New Year Lyle. I think that'll look great with a clean up. Stay safe and well :)

[@llapmsp]

Happy New Year Lyle! Thanks for another great foundry video, I do so enjoy those.

[@howder1951]

Happy New year Lyle! That casting came out nicely, a really well done little vid, cheers!

Do your neighbors have any clue how awesome you are? This was a cool video, as always.

[@JourneymanRandy]

Very nicely done ss usual. Happy new year MrPete

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Mr Pete, happy new year to you and your's, the casting came out well, can't wait for the follow up, best wishe's, Stuart.uk.

[@MaxAC]

Great video Mr Pete. I just found your channel and have been very entertained and educated. Im not sure what part of Illinois you are in but I grew up in Dixon but now am finishing up my military career in warmer climates and my wife and I are building up our shop collection. Keep up the good work and happy new year.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for joining me

[@userwl2850]

Is it only me likes the screw heads? Happy New year.

[@ellieprice3396]

They're known as "invisible" screws. The threads are down in that casting somewhere.

Better to have flashing to remove than cavities to fill.

[@BenButler1]

Leave the screw heads. it will give someone down the road a good head scratcher.

Happy New Year Mr. Pete!

I should get copies cast of some vintage components that I really like.

[@ParsMaker]

nice work

[@brucetuckey7909]

Good morning and Happy New Year Mr. Pete, Wouldn't a little more radius at the center spokes help with the sand holding? The screw heads aren't that bad. I have seen the same sort of thing on casting and parts for years. Looks like a good casting to me from here. Pass the coffee please.

[@joeestes8114]

Awsome mr pete! I thought that was funny watching you beat the heck out of that sand! Was you in any fights in school?

[@benpress8884]

Knowing nothing about casting, I have to ask; why could the hand wheel pattern not have been one piece?

[@RichieCat4223]

I watched a Abomb video at Windy Hill foundry and they took a lot more time to pack the cope and draft than you. Are they being overly excessive ? I realized you sped the video up on this one.

[@sandrammer]

Because of the heat and the weight of the metal used by the Windy Hill Foundry you must ram the sand relatively hard to prevent erosion by the molten iron as it travels from the sprue to the mold cavity.

[@RichieCat4223]

@@sandrammer Thanks for the answer.

[@chakathewolf]

My shop teacher used to bet students $50 that they couldn't get those screws out.

Cast in screw heads and extra flashing for that "Made in China" look. :-)))

[@bobweiram6321]

Great work as usual! Have you considered using one of those air powered air nailers for ramming the sand using a homemade flat faced adapter? www.harborfreight.com/air-impact-hammer-kit-92037.html www.harborfreight.com/compact-palm-air-nailer-69450.html
