Post subject: | sand casting.. |
I though that it would be interesting to show how I was making parts for my crane using sandbox casting... so from my previous posting we have a picture of the pattern and finished part... Attachment: first pack the part in "delft clay" in a set of casting rings.. (they have alignment markers) Attachment: then melt the metal, in this case white metal on the kitchen stove Attachment: then pour it in and wait to set Attachment: then break it out of the sand and clean up!! Attachment: So this basically allows me to see what the parts will look like when cast in cast iron, which I will be seeing a man about tomorrow! It's all good fun!! |

Superb result, but I hope you had written permission from "senior management" to use the best pan and stove!!! John |
