"part 1" it's his last video. Aw man. Have a nice life I saw in the comments that you're busy. God the Lord most high truly loves us all! Amen! I enjoyed watching some of your videos.
A bit sad to get to the end of your videos so far, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to the little engine in the future. Congrats on the kid. I look forward to a future video series of building a live steam railroad for to play with in your yard ;)
hello in one of your earlier videos you mentioned a pouring spout for use when a sutiable crucible is not available, my question is when this is done is the matereal simply placed in the bottom of the foundry on top of the refractory cement thank you for the useful informative and enjoyable videos so far, and congratulations on your new family member
Thanks! Yes, it is on the bottom of the furnace, but it isn't right on top of the refractory. The bottom of the foundry is packed with a sand/clay mixture which is meant to replaced regularly when it starts to get thin and full of junk. Also, this type of foundry is not suited well for pouring iron directly from the foundry bottom. It can do aluminum. I only use crucibles for iron. (A cupola furnace is good for pouring iron right out).
@@fairweatherfoundry715 I cannot thank you enough for this vital information tis always been an ambition of mine and thanks to you it may become a reality
Love your channel, but its dead for a time now. can you tell us if and when you will continue. Will your drawings become available? I want to try to make your design in bronze. All the best for you and your extended family!
Thanks!! The little time I have has been devoted to fixing up / remodeling the house. When my daughter gets a bit older and can chill with me in the shop, then it should be easier to make videos. But that may be naive of me!! Might start making home repair videos just so I can post some content now and then... Not all the drawings are complete, but most of the engine has been modeled. My plan was to finish the engine first and work out all the kinks before releasing the drawings.
Dude where have you been! This pandemic should have you locked at home working on the damn steam engine!!! You’re so close to being done! Orifice Lol! I’m a child.
@@timothyendsley5833 I am working on setting up a public drive where everyone can download them, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Ideally I wanted to build the entire engine first so I can refine them as I build.
@@fairweatherfoundry715 Maybe you can then publish them as you work them out, i mean the first parts you have cast and edited are fine. I would like to start making these in bronze. I will not overtake you but I would like to start making your model. My children are old enough or already independent to be able to spend the day without my attention 😉
Sorry man! I had two kids and have had no time. I am finally getting back into getting the furnace up and running as of a couple of months ago. I will definitely be back but it will be a bit.
@@fairweatherfoundry715 Don't sweat it. When family takes precedence over hobbies, you're doing it right. It's great that you have a community on youtube, and your projects are interesting, but kids and sleep are too important. I built The Artful Bodger's furnace too, designed with 3000F refractory to handle iron melts. It's a great design, simple and effective. That was 7 or 8 years ago, and I only have a couple of melts on it at this point - none in iron. I have a large pile of scrap of all kinds to melt and several shop projects on the drawing board that I want to get to (stirling engine experiments, vertical mill restoration, Gingery-ish shaper in iron, wood bandsaw/mill ala Falberg, 2x72" belt grinder, power hammer, and on and on) but haven't yet because of time. I rarely get in the shop for my hobbies - most shop time is related to the house and property maintenance. My kids are now 19 and 17 and I'm starting to see more time free up to hopefully get back to some hobby projects. But I wouldn't change the decisions to forego my hobbies to spend time helping with homework, coaching softball, basketball, baseball and attending all of their extra curricular stuff. We had kids late. You seem quite a bit younger than I was at that point. So my advice is to spend as much time with your kids as you can - especially while they are young. The hobbies will be there. And keep a design book for ideas...stuff you have thoughts on but have no time to work on at the moment.
"part 1" it's his last video. Aw man. Have a nice life I saw in the comments that you're busy. God the Lord most high truly loves us all! Amen! I enjoyed watching some of your videos.
I'm looking forward to seeing the process of making and trying out different tips.
Good idea. Be interesting to see what size tip gives you the best results.

Looking forward to part 2!
Still looking forward to part 2. I have 2 kids, so I know how it can be though. Hope you can find time to get back to it soon!

VAARRR1 know why he hasn’t posted?
@@dildoshwagins2222 I was hoping this would be finished by the time I got a lathe so I could copy it
I wonder why you don't upload anymore,I love your channel.
Life has been busy! I have become a new dad and it has been hard to get back to it.

hey, are you ok????
again... " Hey, it's not cold anymore get back to work! LOL " __ ©
It is cold here in Australia and I will be melting iron shortly.
This is a pretty cool project, what happened? It's been almost 2 years :/
Got married and had a kid! Lol Will definitely get back to it one day, when life get less hectic.
@@fairweatherfoundry715 Congratulations! I'm getting married in June. Definitely understand. Thanks for getting back to me.

Timothy Endsley Lol while I am at home, I am still working remotely and have an 11 month old so it’s been busy!
Fair Weather Foundry 11 months perfect age to learn how to pour molten iron! Lol congrats! Question could I get a copy of those plans?

How would I get a hold of you fine folk for some business? I see no contact information on your website.
Hey, it's not cold anymore
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me.
We're are your new videos
I know it has been awhile! I have been busy being a new dad. Slowly getting back into the shop...
@@fairweatherfoundry715 well congratulations I know how that is I just had a son myself

VAARRR1 I am!
More burner ideas?

Rip died too young
So where is the engine? I was actually hoping to find a guy that made a real diy engine but you just abandoned everyone
