  • very helpful thank you so much, just one question in your video about preparing the molding sand , I was just wondering how much water do you add to the wall paper paste( which is 10g of the ?ml of water)? thanks please reply.

  • @YUURIEDDIE Just add enough water to make the paste workable. full details at myfordboy.blogspot.com Look at the Core Making page.

  • Maybe you should get a 3D-printer to make patterns or parts for patterns with fine detail. Check out reprap.org for an open source 3D-printer. I'm busy building one, and I'm keen on learning about casting. Thanks for the brilliant videos, they are very informative!

    What level of detail can you get from casting in aluminium like this?

  • @ketilf With fine sand you can get good detail. If you look at my Aermotor video you can see the letters cast in the flywheel and on other parts of the engine.

  • how many times will the pattern be used? after all the work you did on it one would hope it is used more than once haha again a cool video learned alot thanks Joseph T fly2000jtb

  • @fly2000jtb They only get used once. I am only making models for myself.

see all

  • WOW, what else can i say........

  • it's fascinating watching the dawn of civilization

  • Mister, you truly do have a talent in the work you do!

    The end result here is beautiful and really convincing, I wouldn't have noticed the difference from real metal, unless of course if I had it in my own hands ; )

  • video alone may teach alot!thanx for this:)
