Apologies for unleashing such an un-madmodding vid, I did wonder at the quality of content but then my noob knowledge of such things got the better of me.. I also have a very healthy regard and respect of body parts and the potential damage to them by casting and other modding activities so shan't be carrying out my casting in such a cavalier method. Will go a sit at the back of the class with dunce hat on for a bit :doh: :D |

Ok with a band knife but never with any blade that has teeth that can grab a chain mail glove. At the chicken factory I worked years back an operative lost part of his hand when he pushed some meat into s pair of serrated rollers while wearing such a glove.He shouldn't have been able to do it, but he over rode the safety on the gate that would have prevented his hand getting near the rollers.

It's why those sorts of videos annoy me, they could fool anyone who didn't know any better. |

Now apart from the 'Elf'n'Safety issues of the above video what about the castable refractory he was using? 50/50 Silica sand and plaster of Paris seems a very simple to get mix. There is NO support for amateur foundry stuff in Ireland. So the idea of getting 25 kgs of castable refractory material from the UK is a bit of a non starter. To say nothing about green sand. Do you think his refractory is up to the job? |
