It was actually my second time assisting with a pour. The women
shown is an art instructor and the real expert. If you noticed after
the
first pour we did not have the sequence perfect as we poured the
excess back in the furnace before plugging the pour hole. The video
was taken by

some bystander. I did not have any part in the editing.

We used resin bonded sand molds and spent considerable amount of time
getting the molds created. The open top one is going to be a lathe
faceplate.
I have started the maching on it and it looks like its going to be
pretty nice.

For the raw material I used mainly brake drums and rotors and the
result looks good so far. Perhaps someday I need to prepare an
article on "building machine tools from scrap auto parts".

You need to join the yahoo group "castinghobby" . We got a guy in Luther
Ok. that's built a tilting furnace , and is using resin-bonded sand to pour
CI parts for a scale railroad .
I'm a beginner , and have only done a couple of lost-foam castings - plus
thirty-some ingots all from scrap aluminum . It's a very addictive hobby !!
