  • This video illustrates the core making process for Keith Rucker. After the additional 1,800 subscribers this week, I felt it necessary to be more informative on the processes for those who may not be familiar with foundries.

    I believe that foundry I worked at way back when I was a teen used a giant vacuum chamber for drying cores. But some of those cores were large with lifting eyes so the crane could set them. I'm remembering 200 to 300 ton pores. And yes, a mold could violently explode from moisture. Seen steel boxes that were split. Thank you for the vids and the laughs.

    I LOVE watching casting work! Only time I've ever done any was in HS metal shop. Sand casting lead for soft-faced hammers. Ram the sand around the cores, take them out. Melt the lead and pour it in, then machine the ends for threads, and drill a hole for the handle. Make the soft face parts, install the handle, then drill and wrap it with cord and dip in PlastiDip (yes, they had that in 1975). I still have it all these years later AND I use it! 😁

    That BRR200EZ certainly made short work of the brake rotors. The commentary during the process of making the cores and assembling the moulds was very helpful to understanding the process. Thanks for sharing!

    Just a thought. In our foundry we used to make a slurry of alcohol and graphite. Then we used to paint it on the cores. The alcohol would evaporate and you have a nice coating on your core. You could also set it on fire to get rid of all the alcohol. Keep up the good work...

    • @gullreefclub

      Did you use denatured alcohol, methanol, isopropyl or ethanol

    • @big10fan71
      @big10fan71 Рік тому +1

      I would use isopropyl alcohol. There's a company that manufactures a premix. The product is called sure coat.

      @@josieeasterling4497 I designed the anvil patterns without a core because I couldn't figure out how that would actually work. The initial design looks a bit different because of my lack of knowledge. Maybe I will attempt it now that I know the process.
      Hope you are healing and the garden is growing good! Looking forward to a video of the journey of the start of Windy Hill Foundry.
