Metal Casting at Home Part 21 Core & Mould Making Casting & Machining

[@randix1716]

i was a sand moulder for many a year.the video you showed was well informative and it took me back to my youth.great video very informative.

[@mickowen568]

but I bet u did it a different way / I was a moulder aso but only in brass and ali

[@vipulmustang]

one of the best videos on youtube ever ... commendable ...

[@RascheTheRabbit]

I'm not sure how I ended up here, but this is amazing to watch. You're a skilled craftsman and a talented machinist. I'm envious!

[@peteroehring695]

Me too.

[@warmachine4920]

That's called "The KZbin Rabbit Hole". You just end-up on some unintended channel, and stumble upon really good content.

[@paulosilva-dm1qb]

Another masterpiece piece of human technological development through the ages, shown in few minutes. Congrats!!!!!!

[@joedelarios1]

that was someone who has done that a 1,000 times. It was beautiful to watch you work

[@danielhoffman2240]

Very enjoyable vid there ford. As a 35 year tool maker, you do fine quality work in yer home shop. Keep it alive. soon there will be no one left. Thanks for the lessons.

[@balkishanjain6698]

The best way to learn n know about Steel n steel making Re-rolling forging n casting from these pages.This way we can encurage the youth to do some thing to get self employed for the progress of our country.

[@balkishanjain6698]

Thanks Dear, Mr.Samadali Shaik.I am looking in to the matter,Good idea.

[@jamescook1364]

Sir quiet frankly I am blown away by the whole process. Its no wonder these parts cost as they do. The expertise, equipment, time and mind power to create them is unbelievable. What an art. I believe you can make anything. Stay safe in these uncertain times Canada.

[@RosssRoyce]

Absolutely amazing skill and passion! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jaycooper3078]

You sir, are a very handy fellow! I too love to make things with my own two hands. Knowing how to cast metal, and machine it into whatever you design, is central to being able to produce your ideas. I will follow your channel and learn more. I'm a blacksmith, a welder, and an inventor. Now with your help, I will cast metal, and machine the parts I need to build my ideas. Thanks for your videos, and thanks for not screwing it up with useless crap music like most people post on here. BRAVO!!!

[@jameslango9785]

"I like to make my own, because i can" - Thats a powerfull statement! Good stuff, Great video. Thanks for posting! :)

[@clockguy2]

This video gives me a greater appreciation for the manufacturing process of seemingly "simple" parts. Your videos give me encouragement to try my hand at sand casting again. Thank-you for sharing this.

[@ph11p3540]

Watching you go through the work was enjoyable. Great work.

[@baileyhaggis6020]

Im so glad that there are people out there who are willing to teach the world their crafts!!! Thanks sooo much, very neat!!!

[@MarkFletcher16-07-76]

Totally uber impressed to your skill!

[@lacusicusi]

I know nothing about the subject but saw the whole thing and I believe to be art. I take my hat off to this gentleman's skills.

[@smoothon]

Really interesting video.

[@tseringcholdan1870]

Smooth-On n

[@MaverickSpawn]

This is by far one of the best procedures I've seen. Well done good sir well done.

[@NickNakorn]

Absolutely fascinating!

[@الحاجاحمد-ي9ذ]

[@thomhong]

Sir, you are a great craftsman and artist. It is an absolute PLEASURE to watch you do this work .. effortlessly.... flawlessly.... leisurely yet speedily.... a video such as this should be part of the Smithsonian... especially now as we move into 3D Printing... the skills you show here should NOT be forgotten or lost !! Keep up the Great Work.

[@NamesRito]

i have no idea what i'm doing here, but i watched this whole thing to the end... interesting.

[@888marin888]

nothing to do with metal casting, but just mesmerized by the completeness of the whole process, 24 min of pure beauty ! Happy KZbinr !

[@Smt_Glaive]

i dont know what the fuck i just saw....but it was amazing

[@martinda7446]

I don't know why the fuck I gave you a 'thumb's up ..'... But I had to.

[@peteroehring695]

Love this stuff. Early in life I was directed to go into the maths and sciences but I should have done stuff like this. It is practical and creative. Working with metals and wood opens many creative venues.

[@myfordboy]

Its exactly the same for iron, just pour iron instead of alumimium, same sand and technique.

[@fredrezfield1629]

where do i buy iron?>

[@sigung01]

You are a genius and it doesn't hurt that you have a lot of great tools. Thanks so much for NOT adding an annoying musical sound track.

[@THE_YIGLER]

I wish one day I could do this... Why buy things when you can make them?

[@WalterX123]

There is the accumulation of a lot of equipment and skills and experience that make this video so interesting. Here's a guy who deserves all of his views! I wish I was his neighbor... imagine living next door to him? Every time something broke or I had an idea......

[@41point2]

Who's the 300 plus ass holes that voted thumbs down LOL OMG Thanks for an awesome post .

[@vedsaini5898]

[@223mike]

As you were drilling the mounting holes and shifting to the second hole, I actually blew at the casting I was so engrossed in the video, well done.

[@arora_for_life]

That's an impressive work. Only a professional can do it. You have mastered the art for sure.

[@ryank4x4]

I love watching people do this at home its amazing to see makimg molds by hand and their furnace's when i my self am a cast running million dollar induction vacuum furnaces

[@oz_media]

Ahhhhhhh, the good old days of actual machining, it seems like a lost art now, with CNC having taken over. Even auto feeding is still machining to me but CNC is just programming. My dad was a true machinist, he'd make a lot odd replacement parts for obsolete machinery this way. I got the pleasure of using his shop in our basement for my high school projects. Sadly though, even thinking of having a milling machine and lathe in the basement these days is about as odd as a kid actually wanting to learn how to use them. Great videos thank you very much for all the work!

[@Rasengan1inyaface]

It's people like this guy that are going to be invaluable when the zombie apocalypse happens. Who else can make home made engine parts?

[@homersnitemare]

My first ever job on civvy street was a die-casting engineer,did it for 10 years until the Chinese brought our main casting die's,loved it and it's a black art to learn also gives an amazing amount of sense of achievement, England was once the king of aluminium casting,sheds a tear :(, lovely to see the vid myford

[@Xcellentone]

A true Artisan at work, the industry that we work in is so highly automated nowadays and from my experience it's hard to retain,nurture and mentor talent these days. Takes me back to my early days, Top Man!, BTW the Bicarb & Vinegar was a nice touch.

[@rickhall8446]

Excellent job, I use be a floor molder many years ago. Which involved large castings that I made on the floor several hundred pounds and used a electric lift for the cope and the drag. Looks like you done a great job here.

[@Roooob91]

Very nice work! I like how you shared all the different parts of your project

[@spanishflew]

i have no idea what was being made but the process is fascinating. great video. very graceful

[@NBH45304]

I'm a molder in an aluminum foundry. The company does much of what you show here just on a larger scale. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. - Nathan

[@AustinJRice]

I sure hope you have your parts penetrant inspected before you install them! This is the best home-metal-casting channel on KZbin. Thank you for teaching me!

[@daveph357]

It must be sooo satisfying to make something like this, i used to be a mechanic and wanted to get into this but never had the chance, i wish i'd tried harder to get into this trade. Many thanks for the video, i've just chanced upon these sort of films, i have hours of entertainment ahead!

[@karlozaguirrez606]

I studied this similar method in College while living in Mexico it's called "Maquinas y Herramientas" congratulations on the manufacturing and skilled craftsmanship.

[@watcherdg72]

Helluva hobby you've got yourself there. Clearly, sir, you are an expert craftsman. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarsTSM]

Whoa..This part sounds just like my old volvo when it finally bit the dirt. 17:18 Thanks for sharing this fantastic skill too. Always wanted to know how a core was fixed inside the mold.

[@dagooos]

Wow, someone has skills...Looks like a lot of thought must have went into this and the execution was superb, very impressive stuff !!

[@escaragami]

Mesmerizing, thank you for this posting and tutorial. It's bewildering to me that instead of appreciation, there are people who live a thumbs down.

[@myfordboy]

People like to criticise.

[@michor10]

Mind = Blown. This has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen on KZbin and I would really like to learn how to do this. Thanks for sharing!

[@mrtrizzae]

Very good work. Casting and manual machining are something you don't see much now days. Men did this sort of thing far in advance of computers. If you look at some of the stuff that was invented and created in the late 19th and early 20th century it goes to show you that people were much smarter and much more intuitive than we are now.

[@RoC1909]

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Unbelievable work!

[@ProtoPrototype]

honestly, i got here by accident...but when i noticed the video length and the patient that you had to make this part....THAT my friend was the reason why i stayed to see the end result...don't know what this part is for, but all i can say is Awesome job...

[@omarcorrales2466]

Amazing! I never see to do this at home! You are a master! Thanks for show us all steps, congratulations!

[@rashadglover359]

I'm very proud who ever you are. I would love be able to do this. I been doing the best I could with my CAD and my Home CNC Machines / 3D Printer. But what you do is magic. Its hard find people interested in this stuff. Its even harder finding people in my community (black) who even know that this stuff is. I'm like the only one I know of in Chicago. Very sad. No one to talk too and no one to ask for help. Keep up the good work. I wish there were more people like you around where I'm from.

[@glidercoach]

I'm beside myself with amazement! I'm so inspired to see your work! I just moved to Sicily, Italy from the US and brought my Bridgeport Milling machine and other tools with me and use them often. I need a small engine lathe. Everything here is so expensive and hard to get. I can't even find cheddar cheese here! The most popular cheese in the visible universe is not available in Southern Italy. Thanks for the videos!

[@ozekioz6251]

this is not a typical 'home' craft studio. you sir, have a serious workshop there :)

[@Bobcat1963]

Love watching you work on your project & I seen all of your video & I got one thing to say, your work is absolutely brilliant! you do have one fun hobby that I wish I could have. Please keep posting your video.

[@Osmancique]

thousands of things would go wrong if i tried to do this. you are very talented good sir.

[@christopheralexander5652]

nice work and thanks for all the details you filmed that go into this project.

[@YogiPaolo]

This is amazing! Thank you for the incredibly detailed video! I'm going in with a friend on a foundry and I want to start with making lamps. This involves tubes and cylinders and I couldn't figure out how to make hollow objects. Your video illustrates this wonderfully!

[@Alexpro777]

"myfordboy" Thank You for this totally awesome video!!! I dont have mill or press drill at home but just making those forms was something new!!! Always wanted to make a solid toy for my boy but hand no idea how, now I do! again Thank you!

[@BurtMeister]

Look into 3d printing. My lad has me making all manner of pokemon, tanks, soldiers and dinosaurs for him. Looking to build a quadcopter or RC tank in the near future.

[@2tommyrad]

Great job! My Jr High School had a foundry in its machine shop, this was in the 60s. Launched me into machining & tool & die... THE most rewarding work I've done to this day. All trades were removed from schools..... idiots at the helm. Liked & Subscribed

[@imperialfragments]

this is the most impressive thing i have seen in a while. True craftsmanship a joy to watch :)

[@beavis8167]

Thank u ive been melting and lost foam casting for 5 months now. I really like ur vieos ur REALLY GOOD . BUT thank u

[@eschelar]

You sir are one monumentally industrious guy! Thank you!

[@Unadecal69]

I have no particular interest in this particular engine, but this is a very good video to show kids and teach them how industrial fabrication works. The only difference between this and and the processes that powered the Industrial revolution is scale. Thank you for posting this!

[@Kimdino1]

Beautiful workshop you've got. You seem better equipped than many professional shops.

[@oldcarman9181]

Brings back memories of Vocational School Machine Shop. We did not have vertical mill but a horizontal one. All old school--Mechanical.

[@myfordboy]

The paper gives a bit of friction between the work and table so prevents the work slipping. I have not had the need to build a EDM but thanks for the offer of help.

[@TheRicheg]

good to see the production process from begining to end in good detail thanks for posting

[@djplayer142]

Thank you very much, on Tuesday I have an exam on Casting Process and this video explains me how the casting and process works in reality because its hard ti imagine only from text and 2D draws !!!! THANK YOU !!!

[@KyleYankan]

You have a cool hobby. Because of these videos I signed up for my first metalworking class, Casting Aluminum at the Philly Sculpture Gym. I'm looking forward to it on Satuday!

[@psdisme]

I really appreciate the time and effort you give to share your craft. Very well done!

[@demnlordd666]

Wow very nice indeed. Totally left me wishing I had that kind of command over so many diff tools to impose my will on metal!

[@vanpenguin22]

I find your work most inspiring. Thankyou for sharing, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[@RexTalon]

Really beautiful work. It reminded me of metal shop in middle school 24 years ago. It also reminded me of two safety tips, don't wear long sleeves while using a lathe and don't use your hand to wipe away metal shavings. ;)

[@Lawman212]

I appreciate the advice! And all the effort you put into your channel! I get a lot out of it.

[@nalinux]

I ve never though about so high risers made with cans. Great idea, I ll try it next time I cast something !

[@eduardovicente953]

I learnt castings skill in 1957 , with metal boxes and black soil which we used to manufacture the cast iron components for a vice No.5 -including the 'nut'- and then machine them in another workshop where the fine adjustment between the two main components was done with Prussian blue and a file; in the mold we used to spread very fine and dry sand to avoid the cast iron to stick to the mold , so we could use it more than once -I think- and I don't remember the 'raisers' , but we gave a funnel or tapered shape to the port where the cast was going to be poured . Thank you very much for the video, very skilful indeed.

[@sparkiekosten5902]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to show this!

[@eholmes1980]

Amazing capability that you have for a home shop! Thanks for the education.

[@headstocktailstock]

Excellent work,like the home made co2!! the finished casting at the end looks different to the one you machined going by the flange fixings.

[@RobTheStargazer]

Great instructional vids.I love forging and machining!Right now I only have a very rudimentary shop and would love to add some old school equipment.Cheers

[@DIYersDigest]

Sir, you are an artist! Thnx for sharing this video.

[@gandreou]

I don't know much about machining, I have only watched a couple of introductory DVD's, but when I saw you cutting flat that protruding part at 16:20, you made me hold my breath! I guess you know so well your lathe by now, that you can trust it to do this job! (Referring to the physics involved in rotating offset masses.)

[@myfordboy]

I am making models of vintage engines, sometimes from measurement taken from a full size engine so no parts available. Some engines have castings available for them but I like to do my own "because I can", it's part of the hobby.

[@AndyMuellerez2b]

I like this video. I'm just learning to use a Smithy in my garage, so this was informative.

[@backyardbandit8193]

yeah sure i have all those awesome machines at my home also,,, just got into home casting but geez you've raised the bar

[@somorastik]

You are very skilled patient and precise. I like that, and I like these videos.

[@mikewalrus4763]

Highly instuctable and a pleasure to watch, thank you!

[@pub6023]

Great video from start to finish, well done!

[@HenryDarr]

Thank you for sharing ! Wish i had a workshop now !

[@MarkLawsonY3K]

Thanks for the video, it's all possible.... I agree with previous poster...a Smithsonian Video archive... well organized video production, good timing, couldn't stop watching...

[@975abc]

Very good! I thank you for your work and for sharing it. I have learned much from this and have become inspired to start a project. Again, thank you! !

[@TheHELLBOY002]

vraiment trop fort !!!!! avec vous pas besoin d'aller en cours pour apprendre !! vous nous faite connaitre votre savoir !!! un GRAND MERCI à vous !!!

[@kumarfernandes]

Nice Video coverage with good demo and perfect job. Bravo.

[@utsports]

very nice work thanks for taking the time to video the process of casting and doing the machine work as well thanks again

[@ravisadasivan3711]

Superb video.Thanks.I am recommending it to my mechanical engineering students.

[@PrivateUser395]

I have no idea what I just watched or how I got here, but it was pretty cool!

[@wildcard252]

This is an awesome post. Keep up the good work.

[@arbaazqazi5481]
