You must love your craft to have that much patience and not accept less than perfect parts. Ive been watching Leo’s project for years and have admired his patience and craftsmanship and it’s fitting that someone with a similar level of professionalism is rebuilding his capstan. He really has over the years worked with incredible craftsman and he continues with you. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Hey fellas. As a pourer I sure know the casting process can evade us for a number of reasons. Whoever is making your flasks and patterns have my hat off to you. Some days are sure better than others. A fail or two we are used to seeing but 20 times it can haunt us before a success blesses us. As a pourer and machinist I know the result of a sand pocket just under the skin of a place to be machined. They gobble up carbide inserts like they were free. Not so eh, LOL. I sure enjoyed this post and will certainly be here for the next instalment. ONWARD EH ! Take care my friend.

I feel your frustration on this casting. Had a similar feeling when I was in college. Took us a week to get our mold right, but when we did, the darn thing blew out along the parting line. I had forgotten to weigh down the cope, and dumped 30-odd pounds of iron in one side and out the other.

Hello Clarke. I hope that you will not mind me checking in again to see how the casting of the top of the Tally Ho capstan is progressing. The casting is proving to be quite a challenge as shown by your videos, and they also show how one cannot necessarily expect it all go according to plan, but if it fails, try, try, again. Please would you share a quick up date where you have got to, and if there is a "perfect" casting, and it just awaiting to ship off to Vintage Machinery for finishing, and then hopefully start the assembly, that is once the parts due from Websters in the UK, have arrived. Thank you. Ted

Yes, this is an exceptionally challenging project. We all know it. May I suggest using something similar to what is used in developing countries while pouring really big objects? They make a hole in the sand floor and form the mold in it. Then they add the cope as usual and start pouring. The structure is more rigid. Markers for the cope are needed to get it accurately back in position.

@10swatkins 9 ай бұрын

Can't do it that way. The way the pattern is made makes us have to turn over the whole stack of flasks three times. Once Clark gets through with his videos I'll post the Long Play version of what it involves. Clark deserves a lot more credit for this job, and exposure, than what the TickTockers can stand :)

@uhxrjb 9 ай бұрын

Gotta admire your spirit, your determination, and your honesty in showing the failures that are part of the process. Such a contrast to the meticulous carpentry work on Tally Ho. I guess woodworkers have to be more careful, since what's been cut from wood won't regrow, whereas you can always recast. The leaky crucible, the wooden mold that didn't hold, both feel self-inflicted though. I don't know what the deal is with Pakistani metalworkers, but can a Mississippi foundry give them a run for their rupees? I wish you better luck next try.

@johnmaertens3437 9 ай бұрын

seeing the sand break off when pulling out the back side makes me think the sand is "done for" my sand was doing that and im not sure why but new sand fixed the problem much less fall outs and breakage where it shouldn't have been. just my two cents. another thing is too use one of those rope style "deer skinning hoists" to get a much slower hoist action.

Core sand is very costly in comparison with the "green" sand used for the main mould, and it cannot be reused. There are other downsides to using it throughout, such as trapped air arising from it being less permeable. With suitable lifting equipment and methods, green sand is generally well suited to the main mould role.
