Making Aluminum Sand Rammers for Metal Casting 

Haha that’s clever! Thanks, glad you enjoy watching them.

I didn't expect to find you on one of these videos lol

Sounds pretty gay to me

Agree

After how many tries, we don't get to see ;)

Thanks you!

Yeah me either. Then it totally made sense.

I wouldn't have done it that way either, and I wouldn't of had to screw the board on either. I wouldn't have used the half pattern at all, and did it with a false cope with the full pattern, which I've done before. A lot less work, but he did a very good job.

Relly? I dun think it does..

It does make the video more relevant, for those actually intetested in learning the process! 🙂

@@mariusmossum2923 but ppl who want to make it, they can just convert the nums, rel easy with google

@@JackTheAwesomeKnot even easier with it in the video -_-

I'm pretty sure that's a Giottos Rocket air blaster for camera equipment and not an enema. But they do look similar now that you mention it.

@@par5endos562 I guess I was a bit vague in my comment. I didn't think HE had an enema bulb in the video. I was just saying I laughed realizing that others could repurpose their own for this reason. 😸 Every good bottom has one, and they look basically identical. 😸 Also, I just realized that the little baby amniotic fluid nose sucker bulb thingy also could work because it looks identical too. 😺

You know it was.

Gotta have the right color for a rammer

Just the tip and only until the swelling goes down

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! I will!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Really needs to be longer for her taste

Thanks! The pours did go very well. Waaay too much metal in the crucible though.

@@robinson-foundry for the first pour actually yes. The way I count my ammount that is needed for my 3d printed casts is to slice the part in slicer with 100% infill. Then the slicer gives you information about the volume of filament that would be used for the print. I just add to it about 20% for the sprue, runners and feeders/risers and I am ready to go 👌. Try it with your next project maybe it will help a bit. Either way I must say this project of yours was still a success! Good job and keep it up 💪

check bigstacked on RU-vid for making a set he shows how to make a set at home with no welder.

Thanks! I don’t mind at all. Please do. I look forward to seeing them.

The burnt black sand is separated from the red sand. The red can be reused without issue. The burnt sand can be washed and retreated with the mold chemicals but usually gets discarded

@@danhammond8406 okay

The sand is actually very porous so gas can penetrate it eliminating the need for vents in many cases.

He needs the two halves of the sand mold to press together with a perfectly flat and even surface at the center of the mold where they close together (or else you get a sharp seam where they closed together). The easiest way to do that, would be to just put a flat bottomed half model in the bottom of the sand container and pack the sand over it, so it becomes the right shape when it's flipped over and you don't need to worry about extra steps packing the sand specially for it. You can't do that with a fully printed model, and you shouldn't put a full model on the top and pack around it because it would not pack well without shifting and no amount of careful packing will leave the top smooth.

He usually uses baby powder

“I’m one minute into this…” That’s what she said.

but with none of the weight
