Watching the work at Windy Hill Foundry as they pour the casting for the Tally Ho. 

This is gold.

Hey Steve a great insight into all the work Clark had done to get a mould set up to cast the Tally Ho Capstan. Thanks for sharing!

Many tears ago during my school holidays I worked in a foundry. It's all hard, hot, heavy work requiring steady hands and attention to detail. If you have not been a part of the process it is hard to appreciate how much labor is involved and how easy it is to damage a mold. Then there is the problem of trying to predict how pouring molten metal will affect the mold and how to compensate. I have the greatest respect for foundry men.

It is incredible to imagine a 50 foot bucket or ladle of molten steel being transported via an overhead system of rails and cranes to pour huge ingots that were then taken out of the molds and placed on a series of rollers to take that ingot and make it into rolls of sheet steel that could be made to any thickness. I consider myself fortunate to have seen that process while on a school trip. The steel industry was the life blood of America, especially here in what is now referred to as the "rust belt", throughout the first 75 years of the last century and helped win 2 world wars. The secondary businesses that made specialty parts and transported the raw materials and finished goods was enormous. The economic loss is still being felt today. Our neighbor across the street had a foundry in a small building in the back of the property with a furnace, lathes, a mill machine, etc.

I like this video it is amazing thank you for sharing to view and i wish your channel more success

Amazing craftsmanship. You have the kind of shop and operation that I would love to have had. Nice work. Leo and friends will benefit for many years to come.

Great to see two dedicated people working together to create something.

It was good to meet you, Steve. Sorry I jinxed the 4th attempt to pour the capstan hub and then couldn’t hang around ‘till midnight with you, Eddy. & Clarke for attempt #5.

Thanks for the share, Clark is awesome!

I am so much with you about people who should not comment online. I always say there is a huge difference between thinking and knowing and too many people think about stuff they do not know anything about.

"God didn't mean for everybody to have a keyboard" ! 😁😁😁

Steve, I have been watching the casting process videos. This might be the best. Not just showing the work but the discussions and the help you provided really made this a special treat. Thanks!

That was Awesomeness Extreme! Thank You for sharing this with us!

Wow! Fascinating! I love it when my fav utubers get together.

I'm a fan of Leo's project almost followed it from the beginning so automatically I'm following the capstan project and all those working on it. And today I made a nice comment on the Windy Hill video, strait after, in a minimum of time two desktop heros started to make annoying remarks. I never seen such rude behavior before. I told them off, if you don't like it don't watch it, but keep your misplaces opinion to yourself. So I'm glad that you as a close witness tell the truth, of the labor of love that went into this project. And I agree with you that some people are better banned for life of using a keyboard. Anyway thanks for your contribution on this project👍

Steve, thank you for the update on the capstan, maybe we can see the successful pour from someone one day, keep up the good work, I am setting up a 16” Axelson to cut metric threads using the brass metric chart that came on the lathe, the reversing clutch lets you keep half nut engaged until threads are finished.

good video steve

I watched Dave build that pattern. I can't imagine a more complicated piece. I still haven't got my head around that casting process.

Intense is the only word for this.

I am an electronic technician, and I would (if'n I were you) invest in a cable tie cutting tool as soon as possible. Using diagonal cutters or lineman's pliers to cut wire ties is an unending series of nicks and cuts because those cutters leave a short but sharp nub sticking out to slice your arm open when you least expect it it. DAMHIKT 😢

I googled Shelving and got exactly what I knew I'd get, Shelves made from all types of materials. Not sure the Spelling Clark was using to get his strange definition but I'd sure be interested to know what it was. 😂👍👍

Good that all work together.

I wonder how in hell did Leo find these Good Ol’ Boys to do this work?

I squeeze my thumbs ( german for Drücke meine Daumen , means I wish good luck ) that the mold goes fine and otherwise the product.

Indeed Steve, I also “firmly believe God did not meant for everyone to have a keyboard” or children or wife/husband or …. There are many, many things God did not meant for everyone to have; but, unfortunately, there are some who were not meant to have but they do. We have to suffer them. I wonder what kind of people would say Clark doesn’t know what he is doing. I do believe he places a great effort in creating the pieces he delivers.

Thank you for the video. I agree, not everyone should be allowed to have a keyboard.

Hello Steve, can you please help. I am sending this on the 19 March, and am wondering where Clark has got trying to pour a perfect version of the Tally Ho capstan top. Appreciated that the process is very difficult to expect everything to go smoothly, and not necessarily first time. So, has a top casting been successfully made, and is it yet on the way to Vintage Machinery for finishing and for final assembly? Thank you and best.

I’m watching this and wondering why a wood dowel with hole through the middle drilled on a lathe wouldn’t work. WD 40 that rod.

Bit of a let down - no pouring in this video!

One in five success rate?

Clark needs a better hoist or he needs to use a come-along.

All this time all these people and all this technology? This thing was cast over 100 years ago and I really can't see it being such a big issue.

A bit over their heads

? Why

Helping to NOT pour the casting, right? You people should pass it on to a foundry which knows what it is doing.
