FOUNDRY PATTERNMAKING - Fillets 664 pt 1 tubalcain

[@ernieduncan602]

"in someways the people that may be interested in this havent even been born yet" You sir are a treasure to humanity and cut from a cloth that seems to have been lost entirely. The wealth of knowledge you have dedicated to documenting and making publicly available is astounding... thank you!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very very much

[@jaysen2200]

Thank you for what you do sir . As a young man from Canada I really appreciate the wisdom and knowledge being passed down. So much has been lost and forgotten but not on this channel . ❤️From 🇨🇦

[@ohmbug10]

@jaysen2200 That's a great statement. I'm happy to hear when younger generations want to learn and do. So many want other people to do it for them. To accomplish a task and see the end results is very comforting to the human soul. Folks like Mr. Pete inspire us and teach us to create.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@ernieduncan602]

I cannot agree with this jaysen2200 more, we as "young" mentors to the youth below us have impossible shoes to fill with mentors such as you and many others... thank you for what you do

[@wlwomack7794]

I’ve owned and used these tools for over 40 years. The flat fillet shapers were one of the first tools I bought for myself. Enjoy these videos. I still buy from Freeman Mfg. today and have been for 40 years. Thank you Mr. Pete

[@danielminskey]

i love when you do foundry videos....so much knowledge imparted....thank you

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@olavl8827]

Not sure, but the higher price for denatured alcohol may be the result of demand for ethanol during the pandemic, due to its use as a disinfectant. Interesting video but I can't wait for part two to see you actually make those pretty fillets! And yes, posterity should better be grateful for the way you preserve knowledge about "the old ways".

[@wizofcincy1]

Absolutely correct my plant ran out of it we had tons of it, then a shortage hit. We used it for the sanitising the plant in addition to our normal use. (Departmental theft was rampant, lol).

[@garthbutton699]

Thanks for taking the time to teach us all about foundry fillets and the process,all good reinforcement for most of us watching.

[@2dividedby3equals666]

If I remember correctly I used some form or other of putty on a university project. We had to make a match plate for a given part, it was a lot of work but I learned a lot. If only I knew you back then... Thanks for the loads of educational content!! Take care!!

[@mduvigneaud]

Mr. Peterson! I love that disambiguation of "fillet" right at the beginning!

[@alangknowles]

In UK, the same pronunciation is used for all fillets.

[@jessejohnson159]

Thank you, sir! I've made some engine part related patterns in the distant past and have two items I wanted to have cast now at a foundry up in Denver. They already have a simple Y-Block engine "valley cover" I mounted to a pattern board where I knew the size pattern board they used. The one I'm working on now is a Y-Block engine oil pan I want out of aluminum. I was told they don't need it on a pattern board so I'm slowly figuring out how to make the pattern heavy duty enough, and slightly larger, to not be damaged as they perform the 'loose pattern' technique and not shrink too much after cooling. Until about two days ago, I didn't know leather was used for fillets! I'll be using Body Filler for any fillets I'll need. (I've done lots of auto body work over the last 52+ years!) THANK YOU for your video, Mr. Pete! 😍 👏👏👏👏🙋‍♂ Jesse B. Johnson Jr. Now on to watch Video #2 about the "water putty"!

[@mrpete222]

Part two soon please. This kind of esoterica is needed and appreciated. Thank you!

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Mr. Peterson, A really interesting video... looking forward to part 2 very much... Take care. Paul,,

[@tdck6186]

So much knowledge you have stored in that brain. If I could only learn a 1/16th of it, I'd be happy. Love the foundry videos. Thanks

[@mrpete222]

Not as much as you might think

[@stime6472]

@@mrpete222 That I don't believe and I always look forward to what you can teach me next!

[@pavski]

I never heard of this before. Amazing. Fillet seems like an art form of its own. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to your future videos.

[@t5montecarlo]

Have you considered whether a chamfer would work better than a fillet? There is only 1 angle for the sand to pull away from, rather than from a concave surface for the sand to pull out of in a fillet. There is also less surface area on a chamfer.

[@bobstermer7058]

Keep 'em coming! Very interesting, and, as usual, very practical.

[@azlandpilotcar4450]

I was once told by a shop teacher that fillet is pronounced "Fill It" because that's what it does! Good video. Thanks!

[@machinistwanttobebrianfrom6887]

[@brucetuckey7909]

Good morning Mr. Pete, Good content in class this morning.

[@waynespyker5731]

Enjoy seeing various tools and materials used for foundry pattern radii. Being in toolmaking for machined tool steel plastic injection molds we always used ball end mills to produce the proper corner radius. However occasionally we would need a duplicating pattern to machine the cavity. We used 2 pattern makers in York, Pa who would use apple or cherry to prevent stylus wear. The mold's toolmaker would visit during the pattern build to check progress. A visit I made the pattern being constructed next to our 2' x 2' x 1' high was a 2 story ship's prop blade. The foundry would ram it in 3 sections to make a full propeller. The pattern maker had spaced 2 " thick 24" radius apple gussets forming a spiral around the hub. They were adding a leather strip covering the many gussets to complete the fillet!

[@mrpete222]

Wow, that’s way above my skill level

[@waynespyker5731]

@@mrpete222 That was in the 80s. Both pattern shops are gone now, victims of the 90s CAD revolution.

[@edwardwilson990]

Thank you, I really appreciate you passing on your knowledge, experience and wisdom. I can't believe you came home empty handed from the auction BTW. 🙂

[@mrpete222]

[@ohmbug10]

That's very interesting Mr. Pete. We did some basic casting in HS shop but didn't get into pattern making so I can't wait to see part 2.

[@metalmogul4691]

Very good video as usual. Thank you Mr Pete!

[@verdantpulse5185]

Love it! This is my field (almost--moldmaker/patternmaker in artisinal plastics industry; hobby caster of bronze in sand). Tuf-fil is still made, useful for hot work, even to 500° or so.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@chipperkeithmgb]

Fascinating very good information

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Good video and information Mr. Pete. I use shellac all the time in my woodworking projects and a cheaper way to clean a shellac brush is ammonia. I prefer the Ace brand "janitorial strength" (who know if it is or not). I fund about a quarter cup (two glugs, grin) in the water and soak for about 10 minutes and all the shellac is gone. A quick rinse and the job is done. I use denatured alcohol when I need to quickly remove the shellac if I discover a problem with the project (sanding marks show up) but the ammonia works so well on wet shellac I find no need to spend the big bucks to clean the brush.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for the tip. But strong ammonia gives me a headache.

[@mpetersen6]

I remember an article in Fine Woodworking sometime in the late 70s or early 80s about the pattern shop at the Gleason Works. Gleason builds very high quality gear cutting machinery, primarily for bevel , hypoid and offset hypoid gear sets. Their pattern shop was equipped basically the same as an industrial tool room.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@dannyl2598]

Good morning. Thank you

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice intro to pattern making. I guess I will have to come back in my next life to make patterns.

[@robertmccully2792]

Shop is like a bottomless pit of tools and supplies.

Very in-depth lesson leather (so many uses) fascinating and one of great interest here in California. Happy May Day MrPete 222 Lyle. Looked for a can of Durham, yes good in our stock here you are right many uses, great reminder. Thank you, Lance & Patrick.

[@billyjones8706]

Mr Peterson I am a novice at this type of work and am to old to learn much [69] but I want you to know you are listened to and people do pay attention to what you try to teach us. You mentioned needing to machine out a chuck so it would seat right . That helped me in a problem I had. thanks My dentist name is Dr Panic. I that as good as Dr Pain ?

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for your support

[@cns688]

Mr Pete, I will forgive your error at the start where you tell us the timber pattern you made served no purpose, of course it served a purpose by explaining to us what could be done with some knowledge and thought. Thank you.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, you are the only one that watched that video

[@mkegadgets4380]

All is talk about fillets, now I’m hungry...

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Yes.

[@andrewraugh1622]

Please note that a video or video series on how to braze would be interesting and helpful.

[@timeflysintheshop]

Any metal part that may see a load should not have sharp corners because they are stress concentrators that may cause early failure of the part. I know the point of this video was pattern making and not metal fatigue, but every little opportunity to add knowledge should be taken.

[@stevewilliams587]

Mr. Pete. As a Brit I am interested to know how you pronounce the word "filleted" when referring to fish ?

[@mrpete222]

Fil layed

[@zachaliles]

I don't know if you know this or not, but those radius tools your doctor buddy gave you are actually urethral sounds. I hope for your sake they weren't in the used condition before he gave them to you.

[@mrpete222]

You are the only one so far that recognize them, LOL.

[@jmegown52302]

Is horsehide ever used?

[@BobOBob]

Simple reason alcohol got expensive -- hand sanitizers. It will probably settle down after another year.

[@bencartee2113]

Something tells me the lost art of pattern making and foundry work is going to have a comeback...;-)

[@phantom629]

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a 90* angle in a casting lend itself to stress cracks more than a filleted (sp?) One?

[@jaysen2200]

It's a basic principle with any type of metal creations sharp corners or bends create intersecting stress points . And can make it easy for cracks to start

[@mrpete222]

Absolutely

[@imknot]

Hi Mr Pete, Just a quick comment. I guy I knew that did body work would add fiberglass resin to "thin" his bondo. I wonder if that would work to restore old bondo material.

[@MrAvjones]

Fillet?, I would call it trim molding.

[@hitnmiss49]

Very interesting video

[@4SafetyTraining]

Need a bigger shop, thanks for the justification

[@andrewwakefield4519]

I wonder if drywall spackle would work well. It would have little strength, but if shellacked I think it should be strong enough. Easy to work, easy to sand, dries quickly but not too quickly ... Maybe an experiment is in order? :)

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@Smallathe]

Fascinating video - as always. While I don't have the ability to cast metal - I truely enjoy watching your videos. Funny enough - looking over ebay I couldn't find any wax or leather fillets.

[@mrpete222]

Alcohol (isopropyl and ethanol) is expensive because of the pandemic. Give it a few months or a year and it will be back to normal.

I rember taking a 3d printed pattern to a foundry.... Worked well the foundry owner was impressed and told me that the foundry industry was terribly slow to adapt.

[@peteengard9966]

I tried to fillet a fish. Couldn't get the leather to stick to the scales. 😁 Should have used wax.

[@mrpete222]

That is because you did not scale it

[@sprtjnke]

I always use malt vinegar and tartar with my fillets for best results.

[@mrpete222]

You forgot the lemon

[@Grantos1ea]

Just malt vinegar for me, thank you.

[@gonzo5912]

$20 a gallon, I need to break out and set up one of my Uncle`s moonshine still`s and make some cheaper than that. his wife gifted me all his tools and his guns and everything that sparked my interest at that time, so I have 4 stills and probably make three without having to make anything for them, not really they is alot of work from the set up, boil.and bottle, dont think its worth it now thinking about it.

Not sure if you have seen their channel but be sure to check out @dakota foundry where they made the 150hp case steam engine replica.

Great video today! I have never heard of water putty. Is it intended only for pattern making, or is it really intended for some other purpose like bondo, but works well for pattern making?
