I’m HT1. I was a Molder from 1988-1996 when the Navy transferred all their foundries to civilians. I’m one of the last US Navy molders still working in metal casting field

Really appreciated your video. My wife and I are new to casting and we never heard the terms rammer, peen, and butt (butte?) Couldn't help but chuckle. Thank you!
