what is he making?

[telosfd]

After this what?

[MrMaypole14]

It's interesting to see how strong they are when they come out.

[keebordcowboy]

beautiful. absolutely beautiful. :)

i remember doing sand molds in the university. respect.

[dundee520]

thanks 4 sharing , it's good to see other forms of casting

[RJLeffmann]

What kind of material is that, and how does the CO2 gas harden it? By pressure alone?

[forgs2009]

I think making the small cores is extremly interesting i made them for about a month but now i got moved to making the biggest cores that the company i work for makes even more interesting. The biggest ive made had to weigh at least three tons, only we dont gas the big cores we let them set for about an hour then use a huge machine to turn them upside down and knock them out of the box onto a plate it's really awsome

[lolcatize12]

wtf that was a sand like couple seconds ago and now its solid and excuse the noob coment im young and dont realy know whats going on but hey realy fucking cool

[Gredagro]

Gracias por éste excelente video, acerca del moldeo de noyos con endurecimiento instantáneo con CO2.

The CO2 process is fantastically quick isn't it! Not long built my own furnace and this is a process I'm thoroughly planning on getting the hang of ASAP - I love that core box too, terribly difficult thing to make I should imagine.

[FineHawaiianArt]

@quatfro us metal casters need to stick together share our tricks and always leave time to experiment and improve the process. in fact it is only that that has produced the results we have today.

[YTBYlover]

That dont think looks like a cone.

[earlyhemibill]

What is the green material you're putting the brads? Bill

[lambrettaengineering]

@earlyhemibill Hi excellent video, im curious as to what the brads are and the material that you stick on the brads too. When i do a search i get brad pit and theatrical casting haha

[mrnewagemotor]

It's always such a pleasure watching a true professional at work !

[chesrelph]

@mrnewagemotoy yes your right a pleasure, trouble is when a firm shuts down we lose the skill and not just the man thanks for your comment

[panzuman]

rub it and a genie will come out XD

[petsatcom]

nice job

petsatcom

[brierejoe]

Do you use sodium silicate as the binder in the cores?

[chesrelph]

the cores can last for a week if kept in a dry warm place, permeability will decrease after that, best to use the cores a.s.a.p.

[chippievw]

How long will this core keep for? And does permeability decrease if its shelved for a while? Great Vid, tells a thousand words incl chaplet placing, very nice.

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

I'm new to the world of casting, so first, thank you for posting this video. I would like to have a small home (farm) foundry and shop, if for no other reason than to have something to do for myself now and to hand down later. Reading the posts, what do you think of a Manhattan Project event to produce goods in support of a public service in the local area? To support a newcomer's access to (rent) transportation or work gear for maintenance or firefighting, for instance, advances both interests.

[chesrelph]

the composition of the sand is one part silica three part sand the gas is co2

[TheLightningStalker]

Such a quiet foundry :P What are those things made of that are in the center of the sand? Aren't they supposed to melt when the molten metal is poured in?

[IQenergy]

same question please respond ;)

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

What is the composition of that sand? And what is he blowing into it to cure it.

[justleedslads]

sad state of affairs in the uk now, i started working in a small non ferous foundry after leaving school then 5 years later moved to west yorkshire foundry making alluminium cylinder heads (mass produced about 20,000 per week for ford and general motors) the company closed down 3 years ago and all our work got sent to hungry, no industry left in the uk now unless your a pencil pusher..

[gg066]

or a drug pusher

[silver760]

Too bloody right,I'm a Engineer/machinist by trade,there are the few jobs around but always working for assholes who pay peanuts for highly skilled work and charge their customers a fucking fortune for the easiest of jobs,they sit in the office doing sod all and getting rich,were on the shop floor covered in shit and freezing to death.Bollocks to that.

[disturbedone5009]

same thing that happened over here in america. back before china was the place for tooling and stuff like that a man here could work in a machine shop and make good enough money to support a family and put kids through college. good luck trying that today.

[Grousuba]

That's the way the world works pal. What do you think happened to people that used to make swords and horse carriages and candles?

[zapwatt]

Amen to that! I am a Swiss-Turn machinist apprentice and though I cannot complain too much about my pay as an apprentice I do see that my senior machinist brothers are sorely underpaid.

[justleedslads]

core making what a boring job when your making loads, i know ive done it myself,, its not financially viable to pay for a machine to make them if your only making a few hundred and this core box has loose pieces which would make it very expensive for a machine to make either hot box or cold box for those who know what im talking about

[jenniferkundert]

ever hear of a company called Laempe, or Beardsly and Piper. They make machines to do this only about 10 times faster

[buttdagger]

Is he making a bong?
