Excellent doubleboost!   :clap:  I too am eagerly awaiting the pour.   :headbang:  Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

Didn't catch it,  is it because of your time? or do molds have to 'age' and dryout before pouring?

Thanks again,
Chazz

Although I could watch part 1 on the forum, when the video is finished it gives a list, including part 2 of the casting.  However, when i click on it, I get a message in Utube that the video is protected by UMG copyright and not available to me.

I've had this happen before, and with forum stuff, which surely are not copyrighted and certainly not music or oother such protected stuff.

What gives????

Top job!      :clap:



I missed this first time around... just watched both vid's. very interesting.. I liked th part in the first one just after the brake cleaner was lit :)

Is it just my dodgy computer or is there a sound issue on the second vid?  Anyway, looks like it all came out well in the end..... Even if it was another incarnation you showed in the second vid. (what happened to the first one?)
Rectangular riser instead of the round silicone tube version, and taken directly off the body of the casting.... Looks like it worked well though from the end stills :thumbup:


How many did you pour before you got to the one that passed he grade?

I think iw was 4 in aluminium and 4 in bronze to get a good one
Hhe mould in the first one was a disaster the metal cooled off in the gate

Hi John

Really great videos. Just out of interest, I understand it`ll be different for different metals but roughly how long does it actually take from lighting the furnace to the metal being molten and ready to pour with ally?

Hi
Chris
From dead cold to molten with alloy about 20 minutes
You could push it a bit harder but you just waste gas
Bronze takes about 40 minutes

Thanks John

How about an over crank  :D

I bet you could power a workshop with it, a real Fred Dibna job  :thumbup:
