After running out of camera oiler oil, I'll hit our local hardware store for more and pick up some blinker fluid too for my truck. Good thing the old guys there have the requisite experience to know right away what viscosity and luminosity I need. With such a full schedule, you've done us all a favor in taking the time out to produce this. I picked up a couple of subtle techniques watching. Thanks a bunch!
26:38 , OMG, LOL.... a wonderful reprise of your camera and Oiler Equipment functions to someone who is picky about their videos. I've enjoyed every one of your videos Clark and will continue to do so without expectations, as your specialty lies elsewhere praising the lord.
Thank you for this refresher course. I believe that you were introduce to me, and others, by Keith Rucker and I have been watching since you first video. Thank you.
That BRR200EZ certainly made short work of the brake rotors. The commentary during the process of making the cores and assembling the moulds was very helpful to understanding the process. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE watching casting work! Only time I've ever done any was in HS metal shop. Sand casting lead for soft-faced hammers. Ram the sand around the cores, take them out. Melt the lead and pour it in, then machine the ends for threads, and drill a hole for the handle. Make the soft face parts, install the handle, then drill and wrap it with cord and dip in PlastiDip (yes, they had that in 1975). I still have it all these years later AND I use it! 😁
Just a thought. In our foundry we used to make a slurry of alcohol and graphite. Then we used to paint it on the cores. The alcohol would evaporate and you have a nice coating on your core. You could also set it on fire to get rid of all the alcohol. Keep up the good work...
I believe that foundry I worked at way back when I was a teen used a giant vacuum chamber for drying cores. But some of those cores were large with lifting eyes so the crane could set them. I'm remembering 200 to 300 ton pores. And yes, a mold could violently explode from moisture. Seen steel boxes that were split. Thank you for the vids and the laughs.
I was wondering how you made cores. Great explanation. Maybe if you had time you could talk about how you came to do this kind of work? Would be interesting to know, at least for some of us.
@@josieeasterling4497 I designed the anvil patterns without a core because I couldn't figure out how that would actually work. The initial design looks a bit different because of my lack of knowledge. Maybe I will attempt it now that I know the process. Hope you are healing and the garden is growing good! Looking forward to a video of the journey of the start of Windy Hill Foundry.
@helicopterdriver I'm sorry I don't not connect helicopterdriver with the anvils!! Thank you again. Do you have a helicopter? We love the anvil patterns and as you saw, Clarke could not wait to pour some. Lol
@@josieeasterling4497 Just radio control helicopters at this point. Retired and taking it easy. My hobby is designing and building fun things these days.
Even though I weight the materials for my cores, some come out too weak to handle and some are so hard after the pour that they are really difficult to get out. Thanks for the video.
Clarke, I meant to tell you in the prior video about belting supplier Al Bino (seriously), He is a great guy and he has lot of knowledge on belting for whatever. Also Paper Pulleys Inc from my hometown can make custom flatbelt pulleys, they have an awesome antique era shop.
You missed at least one episode as a result your penance is to pop a large bowl of popcorn and sit down in front of your computer/tv and start watch every episode of Windy Hill Foundry starting at year one video one to the present and then prepare a report with a short summary of each video along with a url of each video. 😂
People add their two cents in all the time on stuff that isn't their business, like with the Dollar thing. If they don't want to tie Dollar to a bumper then my advice to them is don't steal Dollar and tie her to their bumper!
Are you absolutely sure that the sand on your property isn't *_actually_* brown sugar? Visually, it's indistinguishable. How similar is the flavor profile? 🤔😂

"Forgot to cut the oiler on." Clark, you restore my faith in humanity. The foundry work drew me in, but the philosophy keeps me coming back.
Love your sense of humour with the keys and the dog, I have the same oiler issues with my photography as well by the way. From Au.

I just tried the sandwich bag mixing method and it worked great. Thanks for the tip.
Having extra air in the bag seems to make it a lot easier too. Having very little air makes it harder for sure.

Did you use denatured alcohol, methanol, isopropyl or ethanol
I would use isopropyl alcohol. There's a company that manufactures a premix. The product is called sure coat.

Thanks for the details. Everything is valuable for me since I am about to start my small foundry for own art pieces in bronze.

Clarke and I were just talking about doing a video on this topic. Hopefully soon😊

Love the camera, keep up the great work.
I love Clarke's camera commentary.
Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
I think I had one of those cameras when I was a kid in the 70's. Must be hard to get the film developed in 2023!
I resemble that camera 🙂 Wild and wooly show and training lesson. Thanks.
"We're on a road trip, she's not gonna be regular..." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yes, I too, do like your sense of humour, Clarke! 😏

another excellent video
I was disappointed that I never got to see what it was you were making. A core ? What is that ? Enjoyed seeing the technique.
Ha! That camera at the end cracked me up!
Sodium silicate, In a pinch, dry ice in a box/bag works..
Sometimes a grocery store is easier than a co2 supply🤙🏻
😆😂🤣Love you answers to complaints. Very instructive. The seam down the side of the core got my PSD going , was it needed as a design of the part?
Enjoyed thanks for sharing
When are you going to start on the winch fo Tallyho for Keith Rucker
Wait you have a planer??? I totally missed that! Looks like it’s in great shape too.

@@gullreefclub aw man I’m wasting enough of my life with this thing as it is! Don’t give me a reason to waste more.
Sera que dá pra fundir estes rotores em forno a óleo e a fundicao ficar boa ou para fundir estes rotores tem que ser um forno diferente.
I really don't know
I think Keith might have a lacing machine :)
A master of dry humor.
❤
Kind of like Bob Newhart 😊
Your understatement is noted
What kind of oil you using in that camera? I'm thinking, Whale Oil?
Maybe a good grade of synthetic oil, or maybe some blinker fluid for the camera gears. I love your humor. Have a great day.
My friend actually fell for the blinker fluid trick when I was a teenager. Thanks for watching!
Keith has at least one lacing press machine, maybe more than one.
Last video I saw where he had lacing machines, he had like 5.
Great video
☹🇬🇧
Excellent, is this neutral or alkaline sodium silicate?
Does the core shrink after gassing it with co2
Love your droll comments.
Clarke, do you reuse your petrobond sand?
Yes we do after it has been mulled.
Tanpa gas co2 apakah bisa mister?
Put the hat link in the description
The self oiler will only work if you turn it on
😂 love your humour..
Damn i am a day late and $200.00 short....But thanks Clark 👍
Shoe🇺🇸

A squirt of WD 45 would make Dollar pass the key faster. Better bet is a squirt of WD 50 for the trolls that berated you
Reminder - keep the playdough away from the oiler!🤣😂🤣🤣
Only 23 projects on the board? You must not be including your own. 🙂
Великолепно, мастер ! Литьё это искусство и талант. Мне понравилась технология. Зачем нужен СО2 ? 🇺🇦
Yup forgetting to cut the oiler on, on your camera will get you every time. 😂
Aren't digital scales better, faster and more accurate?
Moisture in mississippi? Noooo, tell me that's not so. Thanks for sharing 👍
Clark: The problem with making something Idiot-Proof..... is that they keep coming up with BETTER IDIOTS! Stay safe!
Haha, well stuff just happens sometimes...............
There's your problem lady, that doesn't look llike a genuine Hasselblad oiler ;)
Pound sand. Literally.
Dog abuse! 😂
You need to oil your humor as it is dry.
A laugh at the beginning and end of the video, not that is fantastic.
