Obviously this isn't your first time. I've done maintenance work in a foundry and watched how they went from pattern making to finished casting. It always drew me in. You've earned a subscriber. Well done sir.
This has got to be the best series on metal casting that has been published for the amateur foundryman. I take my hat off to you for your skills in turning scrap into great pieces of engineering with limited facilities. Thanks for sharing .:)
I am from Ecuador, I was looking for something like this video many months ago, and finally I found it !! great job. In the world are few smart people, you belong to that group..... my regards!
There are 3 location points added to the pattern known as core prints. These leave a void in the sand to support the core in the correct location. You can see this at 4:40.
@Based & Redpilled Department Human society needs progress, which is no way to do things, progressive science can promote the development of society, just like now, we can sit on the edge of the computer, using translation software to communicate However, you can see that you are a nostalgic person, which is good, and some culture worthy of protection should be preserved
I bought a camera that would not let me upload longer videos to youtube and it had a built in message to tell me that youtube doesn't allow long videos.
At first I was thinking: yeah, right wth and then, as you got further along, it started to make sense. What you ended up with it is a very nice piece of craftsmanship. Well done! Cool!
myfordboy makes this look so easy in these videos. Then when you start to actually want to do this yourself you realise there is a hell of a lot more to this than meets the eye. Take a closer look at the cores for example, they have to be sized correctly, so that involves making molds to make the core components and glued up in just the right way to fit the pattern print correctly, so there is the right amount of metal where it needs to be in the finished item. The pattern by itself is made up of a series of different shapes which need to be made correctly so that they can be glued together but also be able to split along the parting line, and lets not forget the pattern draft required. I havent even mentioned all the steps in the casting process yet. This is a steep learning curve but thankfully we have myfordboy's simple but very instructive videos to guide us.
Well if you dont like his way of presenting his videos then DONT WATCH THEM and take your attitude and get the hell out of this channel and DONT COME BACK. WE, his many subscibers and other regular viewers, happen to like and appreciate myfordboys efforts to show us the various techniques he uses as part of his hobby. He doesnt HAVE to make these videos but he does, and WE appreciate the time and effort he puts in to making them for us to enjoy, even if YOU dont. NOW TAKE YOUR PATHETIC TROLL ARSE out of here and DONT COME BACK AGAIN.
Mark Fryer Hey Mark, If you are directing this comment to the person that told me to F*** off don't worry I have removed the comment and banned him from this channel. Glad to hear you appreciate the videos and thank you for your comments.
This is cool! I program custom tooling patterns out of polyurethane plastic for a large production foundry. I always like to watch people do it at home and see all the differences between making one part and automating thousands of parts.
Tucense Check with your boss to see if you could make a video because I am sure that many of us would love to see inside a current large production foundry.
All I can say is WOW!!! I have been wanting to learn this skill for some time and you are a true artist!! Thank you so much for sharing this information with everyone!
clean & clear cut professional work, thanks very much for sharing. I deeply believe in the fact that metal casting is the main revolution bootstrapper. worth the sub.
I dont understand why the most beneficial channels like this have the least number of subscribers. I wish I have more than a like. You are a great person.
sizin metodlarınızı kullanarak bir tane Hamilton waterjet motoru yapmak istiyorum. doğal olarak pervane ihtiyacım olacak, bu yüzden sormuştum. Çalışmalarınız çok güzel. Sanırım waterjet biliyorsundur. İlgi alanınıza giriyor çünkü. Happy new year.
hayati savtak mrb. bu ark dokumculuk yapmaya calısmıs ama modelın portesını bıle dusunememıs. sonradan bu kapakları acmak ıcın ugrasmaya ne gerek var zaten. bir modelci olarak soyluyoum bu calısma bır protatip veya hobi olabılır ama asla ımalat duzayınde kullanılamaz para kazandırmaz.
When you drop in the sand core, is it sitting on any type of spacers to allow the aluminum to fill evenly around it or does it float to the correct spot needed?
I'm very interested in this foundry stuff! I'm trying to make skateboard trucks from old ones and other metals possibly. This was very informative! Thanks soo much!
I'm not sure how I came across this video, nor do I even know what it is you made, BUT I loved it and have now gotten interested in fabrication. Thank you.
Great! Now I have to watch all the rest of your excellent videos. Charlie Ammen's The Metal Caster's Bible is my bedtime reader and your casting looks textbook. One of the best videos on RU-vid.
Good point. To do it that way would be more difficult.. The pattern would need core prints added to the sides to make the cavity for the core and the extra part of the core would need to be perfectly aligned to get the apature in the right place. Only took a few minites to drill it out.
Fascinating. You are very talented and this video is excellent. Thanks for posting. I've been trying to figure out how to do something like this-really helpful.
NICE! Thanks for posting this! This brings back some nostalgic feelings as the last time I witnessed someone doing this by hand was my father. Great job Sir!
You do the great things!! I won't get surprised if one day there come a 65 Ford Mustang in your workshop and just a week after it there a clone of it :D
@rcwarship To do it that way would be more difficult.. The pattern would need core prints added to the sides to make the cavity for the core and the extra part of the core would need to be perfectly aligned to get the apature in the right place. Only took a few minites to drill it out.
I like how you partion off part of the flask... saves sand, and thus saves weight on lifting and moving the flask. Gotta remember this trick! Thanks! Also the shakeout wheel barrow is another great idea!
@CineGolem I have no experience of lost foam but understand that regular sand is used not greensand. The foam can be coated with a plaster before covering and the sand is comaritevley loose around the pattern. You are correct about the "nodes" The pattern has extra parts added called core prints which leave the recesses in the sand for core location.
I think I read and saw in one of the videos the sand that you were working with was already sifted and ready to go. People should pay attention. Nice touch no talking during your video, it allows me to concentrate on what is going on with out waiting for someone to try and say it in a way I wouldn't understand any way.
Pattern making and foundry casting is just another lost art, well not lost by you obviously, but in general....so very sad. Great to see such lovely work being done. Thanks for sharing your video.
