When I was very young there were no other kids around and the only
place I was allowed outside the yard was the foundry next door, and
then only if I stayed out of the way which I did. So by age 5 I knew
how to screed and moisten green sand, tamp the cope and drag, add the
sprue and vent, carve changes not on the pattern by hand, melt and
pour aluminum and snag the casting.
