- At Green Foundry in Elliot Maine, the art of casting is alive and well. Today we help with pouring solid iron swage blocks for blacksmithing. Watch the video to learn how the iron is melted and poured, and how that iron is turned into a usable swage block through the lost foam casting process.

That is a great idea to tilt the cupola so the metal does not come out in one big rush. I used to use a cupola but now use waste oil to melt iron.
Wow that's brilliant. Would you belive I'm from Sheffield England that used to be know as Steel City but these days you can't find a damed thing it's all gone
Old Fred Dabnah knock down all your stacks?
In the states, a lot of that legacy has faded as well, but a lot is still around. There are a good number of museums as well. I think the main difference here is the sheer amount of land that is available in comparison. Thanks for the perspective
I'm from Leeds just up the M1 from Sheffield...
Same round our way...
Most of the heavy industries have gone...🇬🇧☹️
Super video...
Good footage...🇬🇧🙂
Thank You for sharing, It was interesting to see the process and a great explanation of that powder and the process.
Is that a regular blast furnace?
For the most part, yes. Josh from Green Foundry built it and added in a few neat features, such as the ability to tilt and pour a bit at a time. Lots of ingenuity put into the whole process.
That was Awesome, Thank You!
Now I see why factory swage blocks cost a fortune. You should cast some of those huge tapered cone mandrels next
The ones that are about as tall as a kid? Haha
Iron Wolf Industrial, yup those are the ones. I seen one in an old guy’s blacksmith shop when I was just starting to hammer and have been looking for one since. That was about 30 years ago and haven’t seen one for sale anywhere.
@@shanek6582 when you do find one, they are not cheap, and not many are made since they are such a specialty item.
Have you ever tried to cast onto a steel face much like Fischer anvils did? I think a smaller stump anvil would be a good video to try it out on.. just a thought.
That's a really interesting furnace. If they ever need to take it apart for maintenance or the like, it would make for a good video to get a look at the internal and have someone who works with it explain it.
Im looking into building a cupola, do you have any advice, how big are the tuyeres and how many do you have in the wind belt
Great vid.what are you using for fuel.and the air blower.does it blow direct in to the fire.if so how do you stop
The product running back out.?
Are you going to go into production & make them? I am from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia & you can’t find a stage block anywhere with any substance, like the one poured here, i would purchase one & pay for the shipping.
These blocks are in production currently! This latest batch of five was testing some different processes and alloy variations. I would recommend visiting www.etsy.com/shop/badbendforge and asking Eric if he can ship to Nova Scotia. There is an absolutely incredible amount of detail and work put into each one of these blocks, so you are getting nothing but the best product. 100% Made in Maine
$450 free shipping is a great price on that thing.
Seen to the amont of work making those molds and the cost of fuel and material i must agree it's a realy good price.
It has taken an incredible amount of research, time, and effort to get to this point. The results are nothing short of extraordinary.
@@IronWolfIndustrial I hawe tried to make cire perdue type molds my self, and it was not exactly easy to get the desired result when one scaling it up... Not even sandcasting are when it came to such high temperatures and such massive sized solid body objects.
(Sorry for my English, it's not my native language...)
Could you dog a bigger hole next to the spout and pour an avil?
Hey I am thinking to make cupola furnace out of truck diesel tank provided that it's thickness is less as compared to oil barrel 210 l can u guide me pls?
I’m totally naive to this so this question is simple, how are these things used in todays world. I am very interested in working with different things such as welding etc.
