My professor had my class watch you for a lecture assignment. This video was humorous and enlightening! The process is really cool to watch, and the end result is satisfying.
Thats Awesome! Say hello to the class for me!
There is almost no you-tube video without negative comments. Some think that is normal, some get irritated by these regular criticizers. I for one do understand what this guy is talking about, but I have no experience whatsoever. I appreciate the effort and find the content very useful.
You helped a 1st year high schooler thanks
Great!! They teach casting in school nowadays????
This probably taught me more about practical metallurgy than my senior elective metallurgy class in college. Thanks, from a materials scientist.
Wow, thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching 😊
@@MakinSumthinFromNuthin the holes was drill at what inch diameter?
@@nseudofa4651 the hole was 7mm so around 0.28 inches
Senior elective in College? I thought I was taking and easy class with “Canoeing”. 🤣😊
love to hear shit like this. classrooms sometimes can be redundant
This basic foundry was a part of my 7th grade industrial arts class. I still have the sweet American Eagle from recycled aluminum cans we poured. Had a 2 man pouring pole with a sizeable "bucket" of liquid alu men ium. Poured all 14 sand boxes in one swipe. English teacher was on the tender end. Hammerschmit The Shop Master Teacher barking orders. Best instructor I ever had. RIP Big Al.
Thank you! Watched this while on quarantine at home as a pre-study for our Foundry and Casting class. Am excited to do this back in school when the quarantine is over. Sending love from a mechanical engineering student!
Sorry for the late reply, hope all went well!! 😊🎉🤗
What schools offer Foundry & Casting classes? Are they open to non-degree seeking old folks?
I have been watching your videos for a while and I really enjoy them, my DT teacher has just told me to watch this vid, shows you how good you are 👍
WOW, awesome!
Thanks very much for a great video describing the process.
I went on a 'grinding wheels' course in 1981, the training was a requirement for classroom teachers delivering metalwork classes. I still remember the holes in the roof above the grinding machine in the training centre. They'd decided to leave the holes there to reinforce the consequences of misuse of high RPM wheels. With bench grinders, it's important not to grind soft metals such as aluminium, copper etc as the metal clogs the wheel and causes it to become unbalanced, then potentially break up and part company with the drive spindle. Over the years, I've developed a technique for grinding my wood turning chisels, which involves standing to the side of the grinding wheel - out of the line of fire :) :)
Thanks for the good story, I was new to wheels at the time it was filmed. I am glad they left the holes :)
I have learnt more in one video of 14 minutes than in a 2h lecture.. thank you
Great!!, I have other casting videos as well :)

I like the fact that you answer people on here, great upload.
Thanks, I always reply to comments if I am aware of them :) Thank You for watching and commenting on the video ~ Richard
Thank you so much! my entire life, I’ve wanted to learn how to make things. Specifically, everything. But when you’re a girl, they hide certain knowledge. When I wanted to take auto shop or wood shop in high school, guidance, counselor told me “you are on more of an academic track.“ like I’m never going to need to know how to maintain my vehicle or understand when a mechanic is being less than ethical about my needed repairs. I’m so glad I started the search that landed me on your channel.
So glad you stopped by!!, have a wonderful day!!
Wow! Thanks for the demonstration! I need to make something with aluminium and I think that casting it in sand is what I want to do. Great to see how it was done.
I have a video on my homepage on how to make the sand
thank you so much for being one of the only on here to actually go step by step as to how to start and accomplish such project!
TY!!!!
I love seeing good, homemade videos like this that explain in clear terms how to do stuff. Thanks for making this video!
Thank you Toby!
Thank you sir!
I am learning this so I can cast ancient tools and weapons.
Thanks for this great video. I was able to show it to my wife so she could see what I used to do as a job. You got the whole process shown really nicely.
Thanks for the kind words!!!
This was so educational, thank you a lot mate. Our teacher shared this to us during a lesson and we learned something new today yes.
You really say things in a simple way so it can be understood, and I thank you for that. You don't just talk to fill space on film. I hate when someone goes off on talking about some other thing,when I want them to get to the point. You were very helpful and thanks again sir.
Thanks for the kind words Bradley 😊
I see that Henry sticker in the back. I bought a Henry for Christmas. X Model, .357/38 w/sidegate and threaded barrel. Its so fun shooting 38s suppressed. Ive been reloading for about 15 years and have a bucket full of spent primers and bad brass. Im getting ready to finally melt it all down for stock for the mill and lathe. Cheers from Idaho.
great video. u made whole process so clear. thank u . may god bless u
Thanks!!
I was wanting to add something special to my projects and immediately thought of metallurgy, but had no idea what I was doing. Thank you so much for all the information.
Awesome, hope it helps!
Just got a few items together for my first try at casting, thanks for taking the time to put up this video
Awesome, stay safe!
Im casting a invention idea I had for a gun part. So glad I found your channel. Great video.
I just saw this video and subscribed. Thanks for the lessons you taught.
Finally someone to show everything from start to finish with the names of everything ~ ty!!
Your welcome! Refreshing to see a woman commenting on a video of mine...rarely happens! Best of luck to you and be safe casting! Thanks for the subscription! 😊 ~ Richard
My thoughts exactly, i've been wondering what the powder people have been using when making the mold. So now i know what it is and why its used.
This is about as simple as you can get. Good stuff!
I use to work in a casting plant that made railroad wheels and the frame work for the wheels
that mass produce them. I worked in the pattern shop. Very interesting job and I learned a lot.
Mass production is the same as here, other than machines doing mostly all the work.
I made myself a forge to melt aluminum, and my dad wanted me to cast a trench knife. This video just explains how i can take my 3d object and cast it correctly. Thank you!!
Amazing work Sir, Respect from Mechanical Engineering Student from Pakistan.
Thanks!!!!!!
Really helpful. I’m doing engineering and the last time we did sand casting was like 7 months ago. Really helped refresh my memory. Thank you 🤩
Great video dude I subbed to the channel, this is a 6 year old video, you could say I completely understand if this comment flies in under the radar... There's this thing I've been saying for the last 30 years. I saw it on a sign or something once and it just, I guess made an impression on me
"We the able, have done for the unwilling, so much, for so long, with so little, that we are now capable of doing anything, with nothing at all"
. .if there's one thing I absolutely love to do it's make stuff. Nothing I make is ever marked in any way to indicate who might have made it. I'm not interested in personal credit. I just want to think that when I'm gone, I've left something behind me that in 100 years someone will pick it up and say to his buddy " hey man check this out, how cool is that" they don't have to know my name I just want them to kinda feel what I did when I made it
Thanks for the great comment, hope the video helps you down the road~Richard
@@MakinSumthinFromNuthin no doubt it will. I expect to this weekend make a first for me sand casting. A fairly large ballpen hammer from a copper aluminum I made yesterday 90% copper 10% aluminum it seems pretty tough based on my limited testing
Great lesson. Always go to someone who knows what they're doing. That's why I came here.
Thanks Thomas!
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it. I watched many shorts on youtube about sand casting, and though watching the process itself is very satisfying, I was intrigued and wanted to know why some steps are done. Now I know the principle, so thanks a lot!
love the Mardi Gras reference , I'm from New Orleans so its spot on haha.
LOL, I forgot about that part! 🍺🎉
Jace Hebert same same
Hi From Oz, Great to have someone that can give such info in an easy informative manner,
Thank you .
Love the accent.
YW, I have friends from down under...good people there 👍🏼
I wound up in a shop class in high school and we learned how to do this. Thats been a good while back so this was a nice relearning experience.😊 great video!
" Making something from nothing" Love it.Much respect Sir!Big 👍from me.
Thanks friend!
thank you sir this has helped me alot in my university course
Love from Dubai
Great, glad it helped. Good Luck!

watching in 2020 for my manufacturing final exam, also the fan noise was no problem at all thanks for great vid
Thanks!!!!!
Being a "maker" myself, I appreciate the 'crisp' method of teaching. Plus, I picked up some tips and will add to my own knowledge base. I've been casting copper for a while and am ready to refine some of my techniques. This helped, thanks!
Thats excellent, I am glad you found the video useful. Thanks for the kind words 😊
Thanks for the efficient and respectful teaching!!! LIKED, SUBSCRIBED, & commenting about SHARING with coworkers!!
You got another subscriber! Really enjoyed your details as I've always been interested in sand casting. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad to have you aboard! 😊
Nice video, Sir.
Appreciate the work.
Thanks Ayush! :)
What a fella ! Thanks for making and sharing this video. It's truly appreciated !!
e6000 adhesive. Great stuff! Beats the heck out of JB!
awesome!
Thank you for this lesson!
Now I know how to sand cast. :)
YW, I have other videos on how to make the sand, the wood boxes, crucibles and furnaces if you care to take a look! :)
Oh cool, i'll take a look at these too. very helpfull.....
Thanks man, this has really helped me with my engineering a level assignment
Hey I like your video I had a brain injury but I understand your video you are a great teacher thank you.
I am glad you liked the video and thank you for the kind words. Get well soon!
Working on my first casting project this weekend. Thank you!
3rd hand is exactly what I need, had actually planned to make my own instead of buying one for $10 from ebay. Thanks for posting.
Yup!
Great video. That will help out a lot when I finish my foundry. Now I'll try to help you out. When soldering electrical components, or wire, or anything other than pipes, DON'T use plumbing solder and flux. It won't flow well at all. Use a quality rosin cored solder and flux, and stay far away from that lead free crap. You'll be amazed at the difference (and ease) it takes to solder up electrical equipment. Thanks again for your great and informative videos.
Thanks F5, you are absolutely correct...and its even more reason why I dont do soldering for a living! LOL :)
Thanks for taking us through the process at this level of detail. This really helped me.
Exceptional dimensional accuracy without the final finishing.. Nice work
I have a 1969 Honda CB750 'Sandcast', one of the first 3000 CB750s ever built and I always wondered what the 'sandcast' part meant -- excellent video! The people at Honda made the first 7400 or so Honda CB750s ever sold to the public using sandcasting metal forging. Wow, they busted their bauls to make these first few thousand. I'm guessing they weren't sure if the CB750 model would sell enough to justify tooling up an actual production line so this sandcasting technique was a cost-savings in case the CB750 model failed in the marketplace (it didn't fail).
.

Cool story!, thanks for sharing!
Not to take anything away from this very informative video, but Honda's sand casting methods by the late 60s were absolutely nothing like what's being shown here. Check out this Edelbrock foundry video, it'll better put you in the mindset of what was happening at Honda back then.

Thank you! My professor and I will be using this for castings on campus
Excellent, glad to hear that!
@@MakinSumthinFromNuthin how long does it takes to solidify the molten metal?
@@ericosalandanan1246 not long at all, I give it 15 minutes or so
A very good tutorial. Learned a lot about sand casting. Thank you very much!
You rock! 5 of us watched to make sure we understood the process and safety issues that may arise. You were both informative and entertaining-Thanks.
Just started engineering, and you boosted me the very basic chapter. Thank you so much Sir. Even i will help others like you.
Excellent, glad I was able to help !!
Good content. I'm planning on casting a silver ring and wanted to learn more about the technology.
I hope the video helped!
i would love to see more castings! great work!
Well done! Was worth my time, unlike most UA-cam videos, so thank you!
Thanks man! I've really been wanting to get into metal-casting.
Thx for watching!
Many thanks! Very informative yet simple to understand, has helped me with my Design Tech exam
Thanks from England!
Terrific!, cheers from USA! :)
Thanks for sharing ideas.
so cool! Looking for new techniques for jewelry making, this was very helpful to see where to begin :) Thanks for sharing your time and techniques with us!
Thx for dropping by!! :)
Great work, helped me with my exam Thanks a lot :)
Glad it helped...I didnt know they taught sand casting ??
They do in my product design: resistant materials A level (high school) course in Britain! This was perfect thanks!
Greetings from USA 🎉 :)
Great Video! Really informative for beginners.
Only thing I think that could have been shown or demonstrated better is making a smaller version of the pour cup placed over your vent. Loose metal spilling out could cause problems for potential beginners. A small funnel cup over the vent can help control the metal better as you fill your mold.
Otherwise, well done!
Thanks, consider subscribing if ya havent already :)
Funny you say that, see my newer video on casting the Virgin of Guadalupe....I do just that! ...or something very similar, I didnt need an extended riser:)
Nice little project, Very useful.
That was extremely interesting and educational … Thanks!
yeah ! this video is great and helped me in my study of manufacturing technology....thanx very much sir!...greetings from india
Glad it helped you out!! Greetings from Florida, USA :)
I am about to do this, i use burnt candle instead of medal. Thank you for posting such a helpful vid.
That sounds fun! Good luck!
Skillful, clean and kind. Thanks for such a good video
Thank you. Excellent instructions
Thanks you sir
You are welcome!! :)
First let me start by saying I enjoyed the video. I just had a couple quick questions about the video. 1 was there anything mixed with the sand like water or some type of adhesive? and what type of sand was it. 2 what was the type of metal used? aluminum, lead or some mixture of tin? Thank you in advance for your answers to these questions.
Thanks! :) I have a tutorial on making the casting sand (green sand) ua-cam.com/users/edit?ar=3&o=U&video_id=2rAQxw6X6uc
The material melted was scrap aluminum
Awesome, I'm just discovering metal casting and you are providing great information. You have another subscriber and my gratitude. People like you make UA-cam a great learning resource!
Thanks for the very kind words Jim and glad you like what you see on my channel 😊
Thank you for the heads up on the wood catching fire 🔥 your awesome man keep the videos coming
awesome video! As far as the fan noise you can separate the audio from the video clip and then delete the audio. If its a long scene you can just add some music or a voice over!
For what google pays y'all will have to learn to live with a fan noise if present in videos. LOL
Well I was just trying to help. It takes 2 seconds to do it if your on a Mac idk about PC, The better the videos come out the more people watch and for longer, then UA-cam promotes your videos better.. If you want any tips feel free to email me! But really good video I’ll be doing some casting soon! Do you have a video on how to make a foundary?
I meant no offense, in my older videos you will find 2 videos on how I made my foundry(s). One is for a brass foundry, the other about the one you just saw in the video
Xxx
I turned on my fan, it blends in nicely
There's no need for a vent for the gasses to escape. The gas escapes through the sand.
i usually put one out of habit
@@MakinSumthinFromNuthin Yeah fair enough. I'd recommend the following quick vid which shows how gas vents arent necessary, possibly even being detrimental: ua-cam.com/video/024yOMb6OHI/v-deo.html
Awesome video! Thank you!! This helped me tremendously!!
Thanks for sharing this and taking the time to post it for our edification!!
Why isn't your bench grinder secured to the bench?
It is now, not sure about then....
Because hes poor. A hole
Look what molten metal does to wood! Imagine what would happen if it splashed on bare skin or nylon shoes and socks. Just saying, use common sense.
Yes, hot stuff, approx 1300+ degrees
Tee shirt, tennis shoes and shorts is not safe attire for metal casting. No safety face shield either.
There is a hospital in trip in their future with these safety practices
Just cant be clumsy ;)
Clumsy shouldn't be doing this in the first place. Still safety gear is needed. Even graceful people have unforeseen accidents.
Wow that was great !!!!😊
Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting and informative.
Is it weird that I am 10 and do this stuff and do mechanical engineering
Excellent! I think you are going places! 😊
This is a great idea, thanks so much
Yes that looked beautiful I found that very informative
Good video. Enjoyed it.
Good job with the project and the video. I love how handy and frugal you are with the projects. Keep it up.
Best Matt
Thanks!, Glad you enjoy the content :)
Thank you! I learned something tonight about sand castings that I didn't know.
Good video and great tutorial.
Thanks from TN United States
Thanks for the video!
Thank you, Sir, for the insights. The video helped me understand sand casting better.
Cool work.
Awesome demo and intro project.
Thanks mate.
Glad you liked it!
Love your work mate 👍
Fantastic video! Easy, and to the point!
Thank You!
This is incredible.
Super cool video, i might actually try this sometime.
your video was charming and informative ! thanks!
Thanks!!
