From Bad To AWESOME, 1 Year of Sand Casting. What I have learned in my 1st year of sand casting.

This documents the techniques I have learned through my 1 year experience of sand casting aluminum parts in petrobond sand from 3d printed patterns. This includes pattern preperation, packing casting sand, type of aluminum, and pouring the aluminum.

That's one of the very best sand castings I've ever seen. Really nice work!

It might be overstepping to call you a master, but that's lost wax or steel die quality from sand casting
That's insane, kudos to you, dude

[systemtim]

you are one of the few who show casting done safely outside on a sensible surface. Keep up the excellent work.

I have that exact same Harbor Freight bandsaw. It's been working for at least 15 years. I used it today.

Hi Damon. Watching from Australia. Love your work. I am a newbie and would love a video of how you make your sand it looks really great. Cheers.

Really nice teaching video I’m just wondering why you stopped. Another thing for the fins on the F bomb using toothpicks for channels to create air events will help dramatically and very easy to clean up. Also, I really like the thought of using car wax on the patterns. excellent idea🤠👍

Congrats on the 1 year mark and coming so far!

Thanks! Excellent video... I got my furnace and just built the frames for my casting. Once my bag of Petrobond shows up I'm gonna follow the steps in your video.

The V8 came out great. Just goes to show you have to love every step of the process if you want a great outcome

[ralphmourik]

That came out awesome!!! 👍
Great progression when looking back at your earlier castings, I do that too sometimes, it's good to see all the things learned along the way paying off in the end.
Now if I only had more time to get back into casting 😅

Very smooth finish on your casts. Always learning and growing 🔥🔥🔥

[erikreber]

I hope i can do this kind of thing myself one day.

“The smoother the pattern, the smoother the casting…”

You want smooth (and as hard) as glass….

[MetallyCorrupted]

Nice job, , I just started sand casting, this is great advice!
