Here i attempt to make a cope and drag type flask for green sand casting. Also my first petrobond sand casting attempt at a sand rammer to make this process simpler in the future. The first try at the flask didn't go so well. After i acquired the proper wood working tool it was much easier and quite successful.

DIY Motorcycle Dolly

So way up north in Alaska its rather important to get your car in the garage. This hasn't happened for my family yet this year because my motorcycle. It's not that the bike is to big but that I don't have to room to get it against the back wall. I decided to make a dolly to park on allowing me to spin the bike 360° without pulling an Austin Powers parking move. LOL! Music: Jarvic 8 Kevin MacLeo...
DIY Bismuth Crystals FAIL
Переглядів 8 тис.7 років тому
Up here in Alaska it's a little too cold for me to stand outside with the foundry for hours on end, so I've been looking for indoor metal melting projects. Several other people on UA-cam have videos showing awesome crystals being formed from slowly cooling molten bismuth. This is right up my alley! Unfortunately I lack the correct bismuth to pull it off this time. Never fear! I will get some of...

More to follow on the move in the not to distant future. Intro and outr...
Making Ingots
Переглядів 14 тис.8 років тому
As many of my fans have brought up, its much easier to cast things such as ant hills and lost foam using ingots instead of soda cans. So in the interest of saving time and not making as much dross in the field I'm going to melt down all the cans i have and make fish ingots. Not fish for any special reason other than this is the only cast iron mold i have ;-) Intro and outro template from RavenP...

One more time! Were headed back out to the City of New Brockton to cast fire ant hills from the front yard of the city armory. With permission from Mayor Kathy Holley, we arrived in the field pleasantly surprised by eight new fire ant mounds.Due to a lack of aluminum, as well as a lack of daylight, we were only able to cast two of the fire ant hills. Never fear!! After presenting Mayor Holley w...

    I had to add a 5 ft orange plastic dow rod to the center of the front. My fairing completely covers the front, can't see the front tire or fender, so I keep the rod in view down the center of my handlebars to stay lined up with the dolly. I also added a ramp on the front so as to drive straight off instead of backing off the dolly.
