The first of 23 videos showing how I make aluminium castings in my home made foundry.

  • Where do you get the core? Is it made the same way as the mold? I work with castings in my job, but get them from large scale foundry. I've never had the opportunity to visit one.

  • @cdickenson64 Core is made by adding a binder to the sand, see my core making page at myfordboy.blogspot.com
