Providing it is actually Wool Laser is an option too.

G'day Matty, yep it has been on my nerves for years. Finally got around to doing something about it. Was expecting one of the door locking rods knocking on the body but found the loose anchor. On another note, do you know what happened to Pete from PGS? I remember you donated a lathe to him, the last videos he did were rebuilding his shed. Cam

@ Gday Cam, I was only thinking about Peter a month or so ago, I’m not sure what’s happened there mate, I think I still have his number somewhere, I’ll let you know if I can get on to him…

Thanks Matty, I hope he is OK, let him know a few of us are thinking of him Cam

Hi Willem, the ISUZU's seem quite popular in the Philippines, I think they are actually made in either the Philippines or Thailand . It is a rock solid Ute and I've had no issues other than a pressure sensor on the fuel rail failing and a leak from the rear axle inner seal leaking. Yep vibration is a real issue with the Diesels, the 3 litre unit is their small truck Diesel engine and sounds like one to but it is very reliable. I do all the oil and filter change outs every 10,000 K's and give the Uni Joints a squirt of grease at the same time, all up around $160 AU for the service. I have been quoted around $600 per service but for the 2 Hrs once every 6 - 8 months I'm happy to do it myself. Cam

It's a Folinn Brand 5.5Kw Single Phase to 3 Phase, check out the details here - cononmotor.com.au/product/5-5kw7-hp-25a-240v-ac-single-phase-variable-frequency-drive-inverter-vsd-vfd-2/

@@Preso58 nice to see we all hang around the same parts of the internet 😉

Hi Mark, yes I was lucky to get all these offcuts and a very very good price. Mind you the Engineering works I bought them off did the bulk of the machine builds I designed in my previous working life so I think they looked after me. Cam

Hi Chirp, thanks for looking in, yes my videos are getting rather sparse, mainly due to work commitments and family time. Yes this Phosphor Bronze always smokes as soon as it starts to melt hence the need to get it up to pouring temperature as soon as possible. If it spends a lot of time in a melted state the phosphorus burns off. I've had no issues with gassing other than the odd micro bubble that you saw in the video and it is very fluid when it pours. I'd imagine its winter over your way so not much casting going on, we had 43 Deg C the other day and the day I poured it was up into the 30's. Probably a bit to hot for me to cast in but I wanted to get it done so I can get the Slotting machine back together with the new bearing. Cam

Yep, we certainly do Peter and it probably won't be my last. Cam

G'Day Mark, yes I'm turning 64 this year so all the years of abuse are certainly catching up on me. It was over 16Kg's of metal and it is sometimes a little awkward to get the crucible out of the Furnace if the riser gets stuck to the bottom. If you would like some very rough sketches and photos of the Furnace mechanism let me know and I can e-mail them to you. Cam

No worries Jimbo, thank you for looking in. Cam

G'day, I do have a number of Blacksmithing Tongs around but do you think I could find them. They are probably over at my mates house (who I used to run the Foundry with) but he is away on holidays. I just grabbed what I could find. I will slowly get better organized as I do more melts. Cam

Hi John, yes I'm turning 64 this year so all the years of abuse are certainly catching up on me. It was over 16Kg's of metal and it is sometimes a little awkward to get the crucible out of the Furnace if the riser gets stuck to the bottom

Me too, very interested in the design, great job!

Hi Paul, I'll do a quick video of the Furnace and post for you guys to see. Cam

@@theonlybuzz1969 Will do. Cam

Hi Paul, when I packed up my foundry I swore I'd never do any casting again, I guess never say never. Anything I do now will be on a much smaller backyard scale (its the way I started) and only when I feel like it. Cam

Hi Mark, yep it is Kbond (starts of cream in color) that has been well seasoned and used over time, it has turned black so no coal dust added. Check out the Kbond recipe here - www.afsinc.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/k-bond%20sand.pdf It was developed by the Kent State University to make a Petrobond type sand but at a much reduced cost, check out the article here - wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Definitive_Article_on_K-Bond. I got a bag of the Bentone from a speciality paint producer in Melbourne arond 30 - 35 years ago (cost a bomb to buy) and have been using Kbond ever since for the finer casting work. I have tried to get more of it recently but can only buy it in large bulker bags. However I have now got a supply of the "Red Oxide" Petrobond at a very reasonable price. You can purchase it here in various quantities along with any other supplies from a foundry supply business in Melbourne. The guy is fantastic to deal with - www.greensand.com.au/ Cam

@@camatbattler2233 Cam, I was sent the raw bentone and the catalyst to make my own K-Bond by one of my YT viewers. I was able to make around 25kg of the stuff. Mine is quite red in colour but it is going darker as I use it. I still find it kind of funny to use. It seems to be a lot fluffier and it rams quite differently to my greensand. Maybe I need to add more IPA when I mull it. Regards, Mark

G'Day Mark, yes the Kbond certainly holds its body and is quite different to ram up. Put it into the Muller and add a small amount of 2 stroke oil. Allow to mix and add the IPA until your happy with the feel. You will find that you don't need to add any additional Kbond for quite some time. Was the Kbond red in color, this is the color of Petrobond due to the red oxide thats added in?

G'day Steelcap, check out the Kbond recipe here. - www.afsinc.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/k-bond%20sand.pdf It was developed by the Kent State University as a cheaper alternative to Petrobond. Check out this article - wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Definitive_Article_on_K-Bond Cam

G'Day Geaser, I got dozens of these tins over time from my local Chicken Star shop. Sometimes bought a family meal there and noticed them in the back of the shop. Asked if I could have a couple and was told take as many as you want cause they only get thrown out. Cam

G'Day Rob, yep still at Viva and still looking after the Jetty, coming up to 10 Years in June. My foundry was in Leather St out in Breakwater. Myself and my mate Ian ran it as a part time business but it was almost full time given how many hours we spent there, we did Aluminium, Bronze and Cast Iron. My Father built a 31/2" gauge Evening Star which was a 9F Class. He was well on the way to completing a 71/4" Victorian H class and a three cylinder version of an R class with Baker Valve Gear. If you need a boiler built my brother designs, fabricates and organizes the inspections and all certs for Loco Boilers both in steel and Duplex Stainless Steel. His quality is second to none and every inspector who has looked at the many boilers he has fabricated (Australia wide) all comment that they are the best they have seen. He currently has a Heidi, a NSW 38, and a Black Five with a tapered boiler on the go. Cam

Hi Rob, regarding the boilers I make that Cameron replied to you about. If you would like to discuss anything about this, give us a shout out. Also, Cameron has a couple of clips showing him machining some of the Duplex Boiler Barrels and fixtures for me. Cheers Andrew

G'Day DDB168, unfortunately Pete hasn't got a Web Site or UA-cam Channel. He is very private and I was lucky to be able to film just a fraction of what he gets into. Some of the stuff he does would blow your mind. Cam

G'Day Matt, yep he is a very good mate and has pulled me out of a few sticky situations when I was running my own Design Business. A very talented Electrical Engineer which is so hard to find in these times. All the best for you and your family in this New Year and I hope that your health continues to improve and we see some more of those great video's you put out . Cam

Hi Chris, thanks for looking in. Yes Pete's stuff is pretty cool. For some reason I wasn't subbed to your channel, sorted now. Cam

@camatbattler2233 double cool! 😎😎 Merry Christmas!

And to you and your family. Have a safe and healthy New Year. Cam

G'Day Mark, that's just the tip of the iceberg to what Pete does. He built a working replica of the very first Desk Top Computer which I think was operated by push buttons down to building the retro crystal/cats whisker detector radio sets. He's shy on the programming but I have seen him develop some amazing code for operating systems and to top it off he is also a very accomplished Model Engineer. Cam

Maybe, Pete hails from New Zealand. Cam

G'day John, yep some of the gear Pete design's and makes is pretty impressive. Cam

G'day Paul, no but he should just to show off some of the amazing stuff he does. Cam

@@camatbattler2233 Hope he decide to create a channel one day. He'd get my subscription straight away :) Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones :)

Hi Peter, yes they do take getting used to especially the programming. I've got a few different VFD's and they all program differently. Cam

Yep, the legs were the next week point. Watch the next video to see what happened. Cam

No worries mate im in California ​@camatbattler2233
