[@boblablablaw6677]

its really surprising how much better your pours are for objects with fine detail. That attention to the sand you make really is quite a good result! thanks for sharing/passing the knowledge on!

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Thanks Dean, I have a video on how I make my sand! :)

[@boblablablaw6677]

Makin Sumthin From Nuthin Yes! I watched the in reverse order...Greensand video first then this casting. You've certainly a detailed, knowledgeable channel! I feel you're "head and shoulders" above other similar content posters. I wonder if you could share some knowledge on casting "shrinkage"? I have heard it discussed, but never really seen anyone detail what it means. It seems important for things like precision casting. And your castings are as precise as I see out there.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Thanks!, most of my castings are not critical so I tend not to worry about the shrinkage rate. I machine most of the stuff I cast nowadays so leave xtra knowing it will need to be machined off. If you google "casting shrinkage rates" you will find a wealth of info on the subject. They even have special rulers made just for patternmakers that already take into account shrinkage rates for various metals. They all have shrinkage rates that differ.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Do you do casting at home?

Hi from Tasmania Australia. Just setting up my foundry (73 yo learning something new) trying to learn as much as possible from a place that is a bit isolated from help..

Excellent work and excellent video! Thanks for sharing! I have a quick question, what made you choose to put the sprue where you did? Would it not be easier to clean up at the end if flowed onto the back face?

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

It just seemed like an out of the way spot. Pouring straight down thru the back may have destroyed some fine detail on the front of the casting from too much velocity

[@CandSMINING]

Great pour brother.Thanks for sharing.

[@Bawdog4]

would the casting technique the way you are doing it be the best way to cast a mailbox door? it is super simple and flat (less than a quarter inch thick) on the inside side of the door so do i need a two part mold like oyu are doing or can do i do something simpler? i read down in the comments that if i just used a one sided mold the surface tension would make it rounded off.also did you make the wood box for the casting? thanks so much

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Sand casting would be an excellent way to make that. Yes I would cast one exactly as demonstrated here. If you did an open pour mold (1 sided mold) the top would be rounded for the reason you stated (surface tension). I have videos on how I made the casting flask (boxes) as well as a vid on how to make the sand :)

[@NGorso1]

Great channel. Even if I wouldn't be interested in casting myself (soon). That damn nice moment when you see how the cast turned out is very satisfying. What is this white powder you use at the start? Can I use normal cans for the alu?

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Hi, its just regular baby powder I pick up at the dollar store. Yes, you can use soda and beer cans.....you get a lot of slag with those but yup you can certainly use them. I am glad you like the channel! :)

[@person7285]

Great video, im impressed. Do you think greensand casting would work for less flat objects? Like if i wanted to make a hand from plaster into aluminium, could i use greensand?

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Thanks! A hand presents a problem because with green sand casting the pattern used to form the mold (plaster hand) would need to have draft angles and no undercuts for it to be removed from the sand without disturbing the sand itself

[@Gr0nal]

With something like that it's probably best to make an alginate mould, which you can do directly on your hand or the object in question. Then you can pour wax or even some kind of resin into the mould. With the wax you could do lost wax casting, with the resin you can do sand casting. I've done this for lost wax casting.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Thanks, as long as the wooden props were made in a way conducive to making the sand mold it could be done

[@briangingras5886]

What a fine detail job. As I mentioned I made a electric furnace with nichrome wire with fire brick a small furnace and I actually bought from China A 1 kg graphite Crucible I've reached a thousand degrees already and I've got to get a bigger variac a 20 amp I have right now at 10 amp variac and I can only turn it up so high before blows the fuse out and doesn't reach the temperatures for melting aluminum but with a 20 amp I can bring it up to 15 amps in the wall 110 volt that should give me the temperatures I need for even possibly melting copper

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Sounds like you got a handle on things....thats terrific. For copper you want around 2100 degrees so it flows when poured. I have melted some in mine....takes its toll on the furnace tho. Glad you are enjoying the videos 😊

[@eviltwinx]

That came out great! The finish looks really nice.I noticed you didn't degass or flux and your dross was minimal. Was this due to you using ingots instead of straight from scrap? I'm also guessing from the shininess of the piece that your AI wasn't from cans or extruded scrap.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Thanks eviltwinx! It did turn out quite nice....that was my first casting with the new flask and green sand I made in my other videos so was a good day :) Very little dross was due to using ingots but most of my aluminum is scrap converted to ingots (car parts, cans, mower engines, lawn furniture, etc...whatever I can get for free!) I have about 150lbs already in ingot form and probly another 100 that needs to meet the ingot molds!

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

I dont see a noticeable difference in using degasser & salt flux so dont waste my time with it. I have had friends and customers machine down aluminum I have supplied and they state its fine with no porosity so I skip that step. I have done it once or twice to be fair tho awhile back.

[@eviltwinx]

Makin Sumthin From Nuthin Good to know. I'm still learning. I've fluxed but haven't tried degassing yet. I do get some porosity, but it might due to the fact I'm melting scraps and using the lost foam method - which produces a lot of vapor. Hoping to cast from a pattern soon.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Flux is supposed to make it more "fluid" from what I have seen/read, but if the metal is the right temp it flows just fine (as in this vid) so see no reason to use it. Give green sand casting a shot....its really quite simple. I have a vid on making the sand and that's simple too! The handles I made with the lost foam method worked sweet! :)

[@ronyerke9250]

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

[@emeraldangler]

I was wondering if you could answer a question for me, could you do the same thing with an open face casting but still have a channel for it to flow into the mold so it doesn't destroy the finer details or will it not cast as well without the top box?

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

I attempted just that with limited results. A Megalodon tooth. Aluminum has a lot of surface tension, it wont make a flat casting without the other box

[@emeraldangler]

The detail on a coin would be extremely poor in my opinion Steve. The sand grains are too large to capture that kind of detail

I hear you can tumble them to shine them up. I will practice with aluminum first then go for some gold or silver thanks

[@1AMERICANWORKER]

Great vid!! Do you use anything to de-gas the melt? How about flux? I de-gas with sodium carbonate and flux with common table salt. We both use the same ingredients for our green sand, right down to the brands, but you went beyond me by sifting the sand. I tried to make a clay slurry instead of blending ( blender burnt up) and the finished product looked like oatmeal. Some of my castings can get kinda big, so I keep about 400 pounds of mixed sand in sealed buckets. Because I work alone and some of my castings and molds can be heavy, I built a jib crane that swings over all of the casting stations. I also mix and freshen my sand with a "2 bagger" concrete mixer. My next mold will be made on my new ramming bench with a 4" thick reinforced concrete top.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

I saw no discernible difference using fluxes so never got into that on video. Sounds like you have it going on! Congrats!!!!

[@brt-jn7kg]

I have a question about how to mold a part I need. I'm inventing a device for small outboard motor to use electric tilt and trim. how do you get the part made of clay or what ever to make the void in the sand? like the part you powdered and then removed. great work!!!!

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

The part to be cast is called the "pattern". Patterns are generally made of wood and painted to a gloss finish so sand wont stick to them. In this video I use a one sided pattern(one side is flat), my pattern in the vid is made from plaster so no wood pattern needed. For a part that doesnt have a "flat backside" a 2-piece pattern is used. All patterns must have proper draft angle on all exposed surfaces and no undercuts so the pattern releases from the sand easily without damaging the newly made sand mold....such as shown in this video. For parts with a hollow interior section a sand core is used to keep that section hollow, the core prevents the metal from filling the void

[@zarusgtx4907]

Because the first part of the sand you reference is what is touching the front of the plaster pattern and provides a better surface finish :)

[@TIMLASHLEY]

awesome I understand that thanks for your response

[@jamesdellaquila1939]

For the mold do you have to have 2 parts? I have seen people use only the bottom box. Why keeps you from doing that?

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

This was just a one piece pattern so only the bottom box (drag) was used for ramming the mold. You could pour aluminum directly into just the bottom but you will get a rounded bottom to the casting instead of flat because the surface tension of aluminum is high and it doesnt flow like water and lay flat. Good question! :)

[@jamesdellaquila1939]

If you are going to make a video in an attempt to show someone how to do something and save them a lot of trial and error-------you should give them the correct directions. Otherwise, just keep the process to yourself. In your video, you show that you are using a bag of "Kitty Diggins" cat litter. It is available at Walmart for cheap ,so I bought 6 bags for a large sand cast mold. IT IS NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF LITTER..It does not CLUMP and it may not even Bentonite Clay. Clumping, Bentonite clay litter is needed and this Walmart crap does not work no matter how much you add to the sand. I bought the CORRECT type of litter and it worked. So...go figure.
