I will try it, in my mixer with 6 fist size balls and keeping the paddles, hope it works, can any body give me a recipe for petrobond or green sand, I am on the Gold Coast and have a very fine beach sand, thank you and all the best to you guys
Awesome! I bought one of Your kits a few years ago, i really looking forward to get my "new" machines setup once i finally get a floor to put them on so i can get my hands on it finished and run the first testdrive of the assembly!! I even got an old low pressure boiler for it from Germany. The design and castings looks million times better than any of those pre assembled Chinese kits! I really love the smooth look of the inlets and outlets of the turbine case, most of the others i seen look quite cheesy and obvious barstock or sheetmetal in comparision to Your castings.
nice workshop. makes your job easier. sand casting is a tedious job. I've seen a bunch of videos from foundries likely from India or pakistan. the manual work sand casting they do is very tedious.
Well that's a bit different Luke!! as a chainsaw user myself for many years [between building model engines]mainly fodder for our Rayburn but often for lathe blanks & planks for making things I take my hat off for the accuracy of you planking that trunk, really accurate work without a guide or jig downside is the jeans tucked in to the rigger boots, bet you had some sawdust in your socks!!hehe well done. Graham.
Thanks for watching graham. Yes! That is exactly what happend, struggled to get the boots off it was packed in so tight lol. And thank i was surprised how good they turned out myself, that was the practice log i did the 14ft length on sunday turned out great and more than paid for the saw with cost of timber currently :)
17:02 that spin is so satisfying! Looking forward to seeing the finale of this build. I'm very tempted with the kit. BTW. could you consider a video showing how to silver solder your boiler kit? Is that a good first boiler build?
Thank you for your video ,Amazing set up.What type of moulding sand/material do you use I was thinking trying petrobond sand . I'm trying to making a permanent mould for my art sculptures, I have used fine sand and cat litter as a home made alternative but the detail isn't good enough.
@@cringleengineering7688 no problem, if you can give more specifics like weight, or 1. list the machines needed by name 2. Show how to engineer/make the plastic parts you use to make the molds, 3. Specifications for how much sand to oil I would highly appreciate it. I desire to make all of my own parts.
Interesting that you use a press fit and adhesive to join the rotor to the shaft, whereas your plans specify a threaded joint. It is my next task, not sure whether to go for the press fit or threaded joint - pros/cons?
Thank you, the rotor is an interesting bit to machine. The bearings are ball bearings and stainless steal, They last pretty well if the rotor is balanced, i also tried the high performance ceramic bearings and there much better but not neccessery at all.
This is a really-interesting project. I'm looking forward to the next video. By the way, for your videos I'd recommend moving your logo "watermark" from the upper-left corner to the lower-right. Personally, I find it distracting in the upper-left corner.
Thanks for the feed back Todd, il reposition the tag. Ive still a lot to learn about editing, was considering adding narative but i think the subject explains enougth, also considering adding music but that seams contraversal too. what do you think about speeding up some of the machining shots? I see a lot do that but i also think it helps to show feeds and speeds for begineers to machining that my models are popular with.
@@cringleengineering7688 Thanks for your reply. I don't think you'd need to add narrative as long as it's clear what you're doing, and if you add on-screen text when that would be helpful. If you do use narration, you ought to do it "voice over" instead of "live," and you should use a well-edited and rehearsed script. Regarding the speeds-and-feeds issue, you could show machining at normal speed for several seconds and then speed up to 4X or higher speed before dropping back to normal near the end of that machining operation. I don't usually enjoy background music. In the States, at least, virtually no shopping or restaurant experience is free of annoying, distracting, loud, obnoxious, and mostly-juvenile (but sometimes geriatric) pop music. American business managers seem to think people are incapable of carrying on in public without an accompanying sound track. More likely they are in thrall to the conventional wisdom that forced music makes people buy more. When I feel like it, I listen to my own choice of music, and I mostly resent having other-people's music shoved up my #%@.
OK thank you and then your casting procedure is good for soft metals cause I don't think it would work for cast-iron cast iron is like a weird metal to work with it's finicky if you ever have a chance of making a video with the cast iron I would love to see it how it turns out thank you for replying and all the best luck to you
@@gilberttwaterfield6389 thanks, i can do cast iron with the same setup, and it gives a realy nice finish, but it realy burns out crucibles and destroys my oil sand in no time so i prefer to use bronze.
Yeah I know the crucible is the issue for all cast iron I think a 15 or 20 max pour after that you're a crucible it is very weak also it shrinks it to lose his height and a good crucible is not cheap
