    I like the fact someone would take the time n go to such cool lengths to create a part of their boat they would not find anywhere... that's passion beyond

    This is hugely impressive, as was the pinpoint accuracy when pouring the liquid into the molds!
    I had only ever seen this type of thing being done on the SV Seeker channel.
    Traditional methods often surprise people that are unfamiliar with them, decades ago as a student mechanic on a Motorcycle Mechanics City & Guilds Course at Technical College, we were given a demonstration of brazing and to a man we were all astonished at the strength of the bonds, something which none of us had ever seen before.

    • @rogeranderson8763
      @rogeranderson8763 Před 2 lety

      You bet, there are rulers made that compensate. You also have to be sure to design the pattern so that it will come out of the flask clean after the sand is packed. I've made some crude patterns, but felt the complicated stuff is left to a real patternmaker and sent to the foundry. -Veteran '66-68

    your crucible tongs are cool, but the leverage is against you making it harder to pour. Maybe it would be easier to use two tools to remove and pour

  • @paulnicholson1906
    @paulnicholson1906 Před rokem

    I would have made the grabrails round and then you could have eliminated the cores and just drilled them out. The casting process is pretty interesting. You look like you could have used an extra hand pouring the bronze. that looks awkward and heavy.....

  • @964cuplove
    @964cuplove Před 4 lety +1

    At the very beginning - I#m wondering what percentage of shrinkage you have to allow for with bronze, what kind of bronze are you using ? And what angles on the models you need, to be able to take the models out without destroying the sand mold

    • @MadisonBoatworks
      @MadisonBoatworks  Před 4 lety +2

      On small parts I don't worry about shrinkage, as tapping on the patterns to loosen them for removal opens up the cavity enough to compensate. I use about a 2 degree draft angle on the patterns for removal. This is silicon bronze 873.

    hi, tip: casting would be much easier to handle and will feel lighter if axis of tongs would go through centre of mass of filled crucible, then you are not fighting the gravity by rotating and hands spread can easily take care of weight.
