You provide so much enthusiasm and information, in such an entertaining way, that I hesitate to offer this critical observation. I have been involved in the foundry industry for over 50 years. The word foundry, as defined in many sources, is a noun identifying a place where castings are made. For many years, I operated a pattern company, where we built the pattern tooling for foundries. Most foundries use patterns to make expendable sand molds. Castings are made when molten metal is poured into the molds. Some foundries use gas furnaces to melt their metal. You have demonstrated a simple way to build a gas furnace for melting metal. The furnace is only one component of a foundry. Others, as you know, include sand handling, molding, core making, testing and cleaning.

Loved it April. I'm afraid to say you gave me a project I've thought about doing for a long time and now you given me that final push. I'm a locksmith and I've accumulated a lot of Brass over the years. I try to reclaim and resell a lot of the old stuff because I appreciate the feel and quality of the old hardware. You'll be surprised what a good wire brushing can do to an old solid brass piece. But junk like old keys, pins, cylinders and other scrap brass adds up and it's time for it to return to its original state. Thanks for the great video.

Dear April I'm almost 75Yo and love your work as it is wonderful to see. Arthur

Glad to see you back up and running. Sand casting is amazing, I did it many years ago, you need alignment pins on your drag and cope I did small things, jewelry and ornamental ,

I spent hours watching Grant's videos one day. Highly addictive.

Great video and with a much appreciated touch: a preview of what's to come. Fantastic way to hook your viewers and keep them coming back.

Another awesome video / tutorial April. I really appreciate all of your effort and always enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Keep up the great work!!

I went thru a couple pages of comments to see if anyone said anything about drying the refractory / cement. I didn't see anything nor did you mention this. The kiln must be heated the first few times carefully raising the temperature each heat to prevent any left over moisture from blowing it up. Keith Rucker has an excellent series on building his much larger kiln and the steps to remove any moisture. ;}

Glad you got into casting. I have been casting lead bullets for a long time and its a lot of fun. There is a big bucket of over used brass sitting around that I would love to melt down and cast something. I might have to build a a furnace and give it a try.

If you are still living in Texas, have you ever considered using good ol' Black Land Prairie mud or Texas Gumbo mixed 50-50 with clean bank sand for your refractory? Use a minimum of water to keep it from shrinking and cracking much as it dries, which takes several days depending on thickness. Ram or pack it with the end of a hammer handle as a green sand mold is done. Build a small wood fire in it to finish curing after air drying. I've used it to make a blacksmith forge for burning coal, and though it does crumble away eventually - faster at welding heats - it does work better than one might think.
