Simple how-to video on how to make a metal foundry... 😅
When the Coin Casting video comes out, a link will be available to purchase the limited run coines we've cast.
Just gotta figure out the process first, so Stay Tuned!
This video is part of a 6 part series where we've been doing a complete teardown of an RX7 motor and transmission, piece by piece, building a backyard foundry, and casting souvenir collector coins from the RX7.
Crazy... RIGHT?

It's totally awesome watching you and your daughter working together and it helps her to be independent and too be able to take care of herself
I'm glad to see a Father and daughter work together and learn a trade class 101. that way your kids won't depend on someone to pay for a service. hands down your awesome Sir.
Thank you... Should see the dance studio she's building out.
facebook.com/thecompounddancecomplex
Adventures with Purpose wow she is building a dance studio
How wonderful a dad you are! Great moment's with your daughter. Learning sharing educational session video - as all your video's! You create a great learning exciting moment's! I enjoy reviewing an watching your Adventures With Purpose videos from the beginning. I will be increasing my membership. My dad, Fred. He was search & rescue - rip.
Thankyou AWP for all you do exterior of water as well interior of underwater environment.
I absolutely love how you totally winged this project. OMG you used the Mrs. pyrex measuring cup. Id be in the dog house for days.... in fact, ive been in the dog house for using similar tactics. Great vid. Thank you and your family for spending 100% quality time together.
OMG not the muffin pans. Id be hanged in the front yard for that one. Totally awesome video! Thank you!
You are truly one amazing human! I can't thank you enough for all you do, these videos, and for the amazing present that day! This video makes it even more special. Can't wait to see your next batch. 😁
I love that your family gets involved 🥰
We will definitely be getting a membership, love the channel you actually inspired me to get dive certified and do what you do keep up the good work!
It's addicting... but a good one. Have fun
Glad to see you kid involved. My kids don’t ever what to help, participate or learn about the fun and often essential how to’s.
My theory in life is: I I didn't learn something new today , I WASTED THE WHOLE DAY. You learned a bunch today & so did I Thanks for educating me on how to melt aluminon.
My wife is watching your videos and compiling a list of things I’m not allowed to do, as she’s sure I was considering doing them. She is usually right. I was considering doing them, or trying them after watching your videos. Backyard foundry is now on the verboten list. Thanks...
You know what I love about this... both you and your wife are enjoying the content. Sounds like she's mainly doing it to keep you safe, but nonetheless.. 😅
My suggestion is for the lid. Take a piece of flat stock and bend to a "u" shape and bolt right onto 2 of the bolts to make a handle for that lid.😉
The SWEETEST tribute to Chester Bennington/Linkin Park I've ever heard! In the end it doesn't even matter - unless it works. Awesome man, awesome video.
You are great at who you are. Love watching you
I love how you get your family involved!
Wow what a lot of work! The imprint is in the bottom of the cupcake pan! Loved the video. Thanks.
Please take off your ring while working. If you hit it with the hammer you may lose you finger. Take it from an old machinist/die maker. And when working the insulation where long sleeves. You have your arms in there deep with no protection.
Appreciate the tips
It only takes one time hitting your ring, even if it barely turns it into a non circular ring, to learn. I did it and turned my wedding ring into an egg shape. I had to get my dremel out and cut it off. Learned my lesson. I now only wear silicone rings when working on anything, especially when working on vehicles. Insulation...no thank you. Even with long sleeves I get jacked up. Only time I mess with that nonsense is if I've wrapped my arms with shrink wrap about ten times, wear long sleeves, and tape my gloves to the shirt. I still get nailed with them awful fibers. I now hire people to do my insulation jobs. Nothing worse while working on a job site than the fiberglass itch and burn. Fiberglass...i am not a fan
So your reasoning is if i hit my finger with a hammer and lose a finger it's the ring that's the root cause?
@@brocktechnology It could be if you smash the ring to the point that it makes your finger turn purple and you can't get the ring off so the blood can start back to your finger
@@adrenalinsam Yes short sleeves or sleeves rolled up when working on any moving equipment. Lathes, Mills, Drill press. If a chip grabs onto your sleeves it will pull you right in.
This video is the most genuine of doing something the first time and being successful on it 🤘.
I did some aluminum casting in one of my engineering classes and we used a different kind of casting sand that I think had some sort of oil mixed in with it. We never had to preheat the sand or the form, just make our mold and do the casting. Petrobond is the one MIT uses. Good luck with the rest of your coin casting, I'm looking forward to seeing the next update!
JARED, You make Me long for my Dad. He was a handyman just like you. I was like his 2nd Skin.... He taught me so much, and how to fix things, and just enjoy QUALITY TIME WITH HIM, MY DAD WAS MY WORLD..... ❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤When He died, part of me died with him... I love your show, because You are Your Daughter's and Wife's HERO.... ❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟
❤
I can get behind this content.
Very well planned out. Kudos.
Nice work, Jared. Looks like your coin idea is gonna be popular. Just gotta figure out how to pour it and get a good casting. Keep up the good work!
VERY entertaining!! The best part is the sound when it fast forwards.
You gotta do the 50/50 method. Half sand on bottom packed extremely tightly. Plus the other half packed tightly with a hole to pour the metal in. I'm having issues explaining it, but RUclips will show you how. You have to have the metal under pressure to fill in the details and keep the metal from forming bubbles, which is what happened with all the pits you saw. My explainer button in my brain is on hiatus apparently, so my explanation is vaguely vague to say the least. You'll get it figured out in no time m Practice makes perfect...enough 😆
I’ve seen this method. I’m just to impatient to take the time for that route. 🤣
Patience is a virtue they say. I'm with you on that...I want things done and done now. I say patience isn't a virtue so much as it is a hindrance lol
Another fantastic video, Good work. Love the family teamwork.
Yay it is finally here
A few tips, using degassing tablets, pour it hot, steady and have your route planned. Keep all water away from your crucible and kiln. Set you crucible on fire brick and you have to pack your casting sand harder. Big one was the adjustable pliers and not using the degassing tablets.
i made a torch and started a burn tank out of a old empty propane tank. most people don't have issues but they also make a flame back safety that you can add into the line to ensure you don't ever have a tank blow up on ya lol. I do believe it's extremly rare to happen but they have them out there. I also added a air adjust to the end of my torch to adjust the oxygen intake into the torch to adjust the flame. But nice work for sure and loved seeing this video here ha ha
years ago for my job on a oil rig we had to melt some lead. We had a ladle out of a piece of 2 1/2" pipe that had a cap welded to the bottom with a metal rod welded for a handle and able to stand back far enough. We then used a propane torch to heat the ladle and dropped pieces of lead into it. It got the job done.
Try and collab with the nearest youtuber that does foundry and casting regularly. Or just some locally to you that does it often and better understands it to help you out.
Scared it's great to see you teaching your daughter things I'm a daddy's girl my daddy taught me everything I can work on an engine I can build a house from the ground up and just curious when are you going to release the video or would you able to do a video of pulling up the snow cat up on the Grand Mesa cuz I actually live in Grand Junction Colorado I wish I would have known you were going to be here cuz I had that day off I would have loved to have met you keep up the great work you're an amazing man and you have a beautiful family have a blessed day...💕
Awesome about the time with your father and learning it all. Snow cat to members in a few days. Everybody else next Friday.

You should pre-heat the moud or you would risk a moisture explosion, and surely will get boubles.
1:1700 is about how much water expands when it becomes steam from liquid, so if there was some moisture in the green sand/casting sand, then those could have absolutely been caused by the moisture boiling off.
@@bustersgarage It looked like just wet sand to me, ...The moisture boiled up,..This guy is a danger to himself and his family...You Tube aught to have an "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" button..Was very nervous about his crucible tongs(Though he was wearing 900degree gloves for 1800degree metal!!!
1. Heating the mold and sand first should help. Make sure the sand is dry!
2. Drench the log before you put hot stuff and it'll steam a bit but wont catch on fire. XD
I'm gonna want to get a coin to support ya all more than I can now .godbless
Great video on the foundry. I didn’t realize it was a 40 min video it went fast. I watch a foundry guy on RUclips. He is from Australia, he does all kinds of foundry and casting things. He’s Very informative. His channel is bigstackD Casting. He takes scrap items and recycles them trash to treasure. Check it out I think you will enjoy what he has to offer. And a few tips for your foundry as well. He makes casting sand from kitty litter. It’s a cheaper and safer alternative, however He never speaks a word but is very very informative. Make sure to watch for Little ingot I’m not saying what little Ingot is, I’ve watched for long enough I’ve seen him grow up. Anyways Thank You for helping our planet it’s great to see a caring person taking a few steps forward for everyone. Great channel I’m always riveted waiting on the next video. Good luck and stay safe out there.
Oh man that brings back nightmairs of metal shop when I was in high school.
Please use a set of blacksmith tongs so you can grab those red hot crucibles from a distance. We need you in the river, not in the hospital with a burn. Appreciate all you do sir! You are inspiring.
Love the shootout to Chester! ❤❤
Keep up the great videos coming and keep safe out there and hope Gray is doing better have a great day
Well now you got clean metal pucks for the next try.
I hope your friend makes a full recovery prayers be with him.
LOOKS GREAT. SO COOL.
As an RX-7 owner, I would love to get one of these!
Nice video be sure to watch bigstackdcasting you will learn a lot about backyard casting especially how to do it safely and properlly.Oh and its pronounced alu-mini-um
well done, us Brits have to teach the world the proper way to talk :P
Wow, is there anything you can't do? Amazing, & better tools would be a safe factor. Had me on the edge of my seat till the end.
Safety glasses !
Definitely preheat the casts. Also trim some metal to go around the larger holes for the burners and you won't have the flames coming out the sides. Gets some handles made and you can bolt then to the top of your studs coming though. I definitely had a good laugh watching you reach into there with short handle channel locks. Get the right tools. Your hands will thank you!
A very interesting process and entertaining video. Please get some forging tongues for the crucible. Thanks for sharing.
Bought some tongues... Will help for sure
Maybe if you mix some of the cement and take the coun pattern and press it in the cement stuff to make a good pattern then powder it then try the pour .other than that get some real foundery molding dirt and make one coin to start whith by doing it the way it should be done then ya can go from there but your deffinetley gonna have to exsperiments whith it .just use the same metal and keep remelting it .godbless
I’ve wanted to make a foundry every since I saw the home diy on The King Of Randoms page! I love building stuff lol
But now I may have to forgo his design for yours 😂
Awesomeness so cool. I like a million times over😁
Just finished the video, very interesting! Looking forward to the next one!
Paul from Australia 🇦🇺 😀
cool video, please let us know how Gary is doing and let his family know we are keeping them in our thoughts along with the other family too huggles and stay safe, thank you
Watch big d castings channel from Australia That dude knows
Suggest you get a '" 30 gallon "' propane bottle - they don't have restriction of flow. I built mine years ago - Ron Reil burner. The reducer is a venturi and speed enhancer. Another bottle is a fork lift bottle - but those are hard to come by. Fed law requires restrictive now.
You need to find a vice sponsorship 😂and longer plyers nice job brother entertaining
I cant wait to see one done..
thank you bro I wish the best for you
Looking great keep trying you will get it figured out 👍 can't wait for the coins
Will have to try again after Colorado. We leave Sunday for the snowcat.
Can't wait for that video it would be awesome if it could be restored
I'm excited to see this done, and hopefully be successful in ordering a coin! 😀
Cheers, Paul from Australia 🇦🇺
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi
Pre heat the moulds and you won't have all the bubbling also I would recommend getting a graphite mould made to cast the coins. There's multiple sellers on eBay that will do custom moulds at a decent price.
Yes yes yes...... Got membership just for a coin. Is that too crazy?
Nope!
Not at all... Much appreciated
Ill jump in on that band wagon😂
Hopefully someone will sponsor you a pedestal bench drill so you won’t snap your wrist when the cordless grabs next time. Cool blow torch now I want to make 1 too!
@@AdventuresWithPurpose I cant afford a membership as I'm a high school welding teacher who losing his job. Can I still pay for a coin?
you really need to get a work bench with a good vise
Is there anything you can’t do? Very clever!
Back in High School I successfully smelted aluminum in my home's fireplace. I was surprised I could generate enough heat, but I did.
Good team work mate lol fair play too
I hope to order one before they are sold out,, and a great video and great family time
Kudos for the ingenuity to make that forge yourself, I love doing stuff like that.. standing in the hardware store for hours, planning, searching for the right parts! It's so much fun. I can see by reading the comments that you already got a set of crucible tongs ordered .. thank you.. I was cringing everytime you picked it up with channel-locks.. lol. And I believe several people said you need to preheat your molds to get the moisture out.. I also wonder if your sand was correct.. you can get good casting sand off Amazon.. Teton-Bond Petrobond Fine.. metal casting sand for high detail for like 22$ for 5lbs of it.
Anyway, I enjoy all of your videos and projects! Perfect these coins on the RX7 so I can get a good one of the Mustang.. lol. Thank you!
May not always turn out perfect... or even turn out, but the journey sure is fun.
You guys should search Boca Rio Canal in Boca Raton, Florida. Theres been bodies found and I feel like theres more cars with bodies still there.
I cast with molten glass so I'm guessing this is a similar process. You need more depth and to fluff up your casting sand to get air into it so you can push a stamp in effectively. Make sure it isn't too moist as well. When you push your stamp into the sand push it right in so you push out the air from where you are pouring your metal and you have deeper sides. You need space to make holes around the edge to allow hot air to escape. When glass bubbles like that we use a blow torch straight away to flatten them. You need some tongs and heat resistant boots as well...I was scared lol
I'm no expert but I've watched a few casting videos and the one thing the fellows who do this a lot use is what they call "Greensand", which seems to hold details pretty well. Take a look at some of the videos uploaded by myfordboy, and the process he uses, maybe it can be adapted to suit your purpose. I'm sure there must be other home metal casting channels that may help you also. Good luck and see you in the water sir!
Heat mold on top of foundry before casting to remove moisture from sand. This will stop the bobbles in coin.
verry nice vid,grts from germany
at least you can melt it back down again,. Buy a ladle to scoop out instead of pouring it out might work better
I think you need finer sand, Like through a flour sifter,. I think that would make your coins smoother thus the print would be more legible.
Hi love to you bro
How is your Friend Gary doing I hope that he and his Family are doing ok and I know y'all will be glad when he comes back and is able to be at work with y'all again God bless y'all and Sending Prayer's for him and his Family and Sending Prayer's for y'all and ya'lls Families too God bless each of y'all
Long road for Gary

And by the way I am a Mod for a couple other channels and I watch the comments and sometimes people post sex websites on the comments all I can do is report them and have them removed but they post them and again I haven't saw any on your channel yet but if you would like to fix it where I can block them because this is a Family channel you could make me a mod it's totally up to you but I will do my best to let you know if I see any and if I do I will report them and let you know and give you the name of the one who is posting it so you can block them but anyway I'm watching out for y'all so you don't have to worry but keep up the great work I absolutely love you channel
Make sure the casting sand is dry. That is where the bubbles came from
I'll take a corn when they're done
You are building a gas melt furnance which is part of the foundry process. I have worked 40 years in the Foundry / metal casting industry. I have owned a small foundry if 3,000 sq ft and one of 12,000 sq ft. I am in process of putting one back together.
Thanks for showing me how to make burners I have been using charcoal and a hairdryer it works good it just takes too long thanks
6:42 you can say that again!
I suggested you get a bigger vise. I watch my uncle hold a round object to drill threw which I already knew you don’t do and he had his hand to close to the drill and the bit slid over very fast and it went right threw his hand. He said I didn’t hurt going in but I knew it hurt coming out cause he had to reverse it all the way threw his hand. Please don’t make his mistake. He really regretted it.
If you ever get up to newhampshire I have a old style vice hevey dutey ya can have if ya ever get up this way ..godbless
Need to bake your casting sand after doing your impression. It needs to be dry. And be very careful adding ANY metal after you have a molten mass, you may get a visit from the tinsel fairy if it has even a drop of water in it because of the steam explosion that would lift the lid off the foundry! Best to know in advance how much you need and add a little extra. You can always re smelt it and it will have less dross to it.
Ooo wow weee 🤦🏻♂️ 6:53 😂🤣😂
This was really cool and interesting.
Smh... Did you really think the dry wood could handle melted metal without catching fire...but i absolutely love that you test a whole lot of stuff. Appreciate that. Been binging these videos for a few days now and still have some to watch. I kind of go randomly so not watching them in order and i forget to comment i just hop to the next video when one video ends 😹
Damn Jared! Mad Skills my brother! Keep it up! How is the tow truck driver?
Gary is doing much better. Long Long road ahead for sure.
The air pressure valve does not work on propane. Propane is liquid in the tank with vapor above. The vapor is what you use and the amount is not read on the gauge.
You really do need back in the water, before you hurt yourself with a power tool!👊🇺🇸🤣
Agree
I finally said what the hell and became a member. Lol

@@AdventuresWithPurpose if you're ever in Tennessee, maybe I could go on a dive with you, well, if I'm certified by then. Lol
39:23 and i'm now laughing my ars off....
Have you discovered letter drill bits yet?
Often A fractional or even metric drill bits will not produce the best sized hole for a tap,
Letter drill bits fall into these gaps and are sized to give you a perfect hole for tapping.
That was fun to watch. There is another channel called big stack casting and that’s all he does check him out.
I gotta say I love your videos but man this was by far the funniest of them all.
I as a plumber who has melted metals previously and done a bit of casting, this, I have to say, reminds me of my first attempt, it wasn't funny for me at the time but watching you, well I was practically rolling around on the floor with laughter.
On a more serious note. Dude you need to get the right crucible lifting equipment if you try to do this again. Seriously I was cringing as you lifted the crucible out with those pliers. Man if you don't want to hurt yourself seriously please do as I advise here on this topic. I have had crucibles that break when they are lifted unevenly . I see you are using a quality crucible and the temps that you are working with are not too high but man rather be safe than sorry. I want to watch loads more of your videos, but not of you in a hospital bed trying to get over burns. I've been there for 6 weeks and got off lightly and have the scares to prove it. Please man work safely we all love you videos.
As a foot note, I believe metal casting is an art not everyone can do it. You may need to get help from someone who has more knowledge in this area to maybe show you and give you tips. RUclips is a great source also . Good luck man love from New Zealand.
Thanks for that.... I did pick up some crucible tongues... They should help on the next round.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose Ahh great thanks for that . Keep up the great work man.
