Ingot mold for Tally Ho’s internal ballast lead.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 мар 2024
- This video is about the making of a prototype ingot mold for Tally Ho's internal ballast lead. There is around 300 ingots of two types to cast and install in the boat so there will need to be multiple molds made of each type to speed up the casting process. I'll make another video of the final shape when we get to that point but for now I just need to get this one built and in the mail to Leo. The second ingot shape is a simple flat pan style but both molds will be made to yield an ingot of around 120 cubic inches and right around 50 pounds each. Rounding up in metric it would be about 2000 cubic centimeters and 23kg.
As always, thanks for watching and if your'e new here I hope you stick around for more.

I like your welding helmet. Looks pretty comfortable. Where to buy? 🤪😋
Miller Digital Elite. Has a button to hold at shade 3 for grinding but I don't use it because it doesn't auto darken again unless you disable it and direct arc flash sucks. Although I will tack projects together without the helmets sometimes what the camera doesn't show is that the arc flash itself is hidden behind the cup and my hand usually.
Thanks for the question, You can find the helmet at almost any online retailer and the consumeables for it can be purchased in groups of 50 for best economy.
@@ShredPile fail on my side 😂 I didn't see you using one. Watched it again and was surprised I overlooked it the first time. I meant the invisible one you used for tacking 🫥
@@becauseican2607 I think the invisible helmet comes with the rubber boots to protect against molten lead ;-) Thanks for helping Leo, anyway!
Woohoo, looks great, thank you Jake!
Haha, awesome! Thanks Leo:-)
It's totally cool to see you helping out Leo. Tally Ho is truly turning out to be awesome with all the help he is getting.
What a fun thing to have a chance to be a part of. It’s an incredibly amazing project. Thanks for checking the video out. :-)
I'm blown away every time I think about what's gone into her. She has without exception, the best components available today, with a perfect hindsight understanding of where her faults were and correcting them. Best bronze floors, large bronze strapping, her deck bling is top notch, her powertrain is intelligently thought out and made up of the finest materials Leo could find. This ship will easily last a century or more, much of it no doubt under Leo's capable hands. I look forward to seeing what he does with her.
I completely agree! @@user-qh9lu5cl6n
Damn! Leo gets everywhere! Good to see everybody helping out.
Never trust a man with a tidy workshop. This guy is solid!
Lol, it's been a long work cycle this winter:-)
Is that a real saying?
@@drspock3454 Sure, why not 😁
Nothing says you know what your doing like multiple slip trip and fall hazards
@@drspock3454: My opinion on that is pristine shops, as seen on most builder channels, are the result of carefully staged and choreographed tasks with no tools or equipment in the scene that are not necessary to the exact moment being portrayed. I have a friend that has a shop/ tool display museum , that never produces anything but good intensions, lol.
Another generous person helping the wonderful Tally Ho production crew.
I'm glad to see that you are helping Leo. He has an awesome project going on, with some super-skilled craftsmen, and is restoring a part of lost history. I know you live fairly close to him, so it is great that you volunteered. Thanks
His project is amazing in so many ways and I feel fortunate to have a few small pieces that will continue on as part of it.
A craftsman doing what craftsmen do. I love seeing the old tools being kept in service. Well done sir. Well done.
Thank you:-)
NIce work. I saw the ingots being made on Tally Ho's channel this weekend, but I never gave thought to the actual mold. This just popped up in my streams today, so it was very nice to be able to see what you've done to create this.
What is so good about the Tally Ho project are the links it is creating between the UK and the USA Well done for being part of that 👏🏼
Jake - you are a man of few words, but great skills.
I had a few "Why is he doing that" moments that became "Ah, that's why" a few seconds later.
I hope the job passed the Cat scan on completion!
Glad you enjoyed it. I had not heard 'cat scan' before and I like it!
@@ShredPile If you're a dog lover, you may someday be able to get "Lab" (🦮) tests done on your work as well.
@@ShredPile This comes from the RUclips channel of Jonathan W who has a (one-eyed) cat that very much likes to be in the picture(s) when the camera is rolling. Thus Jonathan has dubbed her behaviour the cat scan - if she seems to approve of his work or his new acquisition(s), everything should be fine ... ;-)
@@Framo60 Hey hey! Thanks for the new channel and the backstory too. Subscribed right away.
@@ShredPile Thank you for your kind words. And yes - @Jonathanw4942 's channel is really worth following - he is always up to interesting things, and there seems to be no end to his problem solving capabilites and to see things through by hard work (with lots of humor). His channel - as well as yours of course - deverses a lot more viewers.
Really interesting. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
I made one of those a long time ago. Except it was for a 5000 pound chunk of lead for ballast in a sailboat. I had never done anything like that, and I don't think that anyone at the boat building company had either. A lot a work, a chainsaw, many hydraulic jacks, some very frightening moments, and I got the job done. Nobody got hurt.
Super heavy things that are not physically large are some of the most terrifying things to handle and move around. 5000# of lead is less than 2'x2'x2'. Crazy!
I will definitely watch the rest of his work. My sailboat is a 24' cutter built in the Yucatan about 1970. A friend who was a German engineer working on the coastal road built it for fishing. His young daughter broke open batteries for the lead keel. I was working in the States so didn't get to see the work. Hans sold it as he ran out of money after his wife's family were driven off their land to build the Cancun Airport."Ixchel" is like new. She's in drydock in Florida now.
A solid one piece cast lead ballast keel can be seen on youtube channel Acorn to Arabella and I would advise anyone to watch that video , they would be stunned . Very nerve racking !
That band saw is really nice. Never seen one like it.
Marvel model 8 mark II. 18"x20" capacity. I replaced the three phase motor with a single phase. Simpler than a vfd since the speed is already controlled thru a variable pitch pulley system.
That set of v blocks just simplifies non critical fixturing and work holding in an open workshed in the PNW so they have the life they have:-)
that's an extreme level of no-nonsense approach. feels like the author has survived his share of ordeals: "I might remember a time when I arranged some things. these days things appear whenever I look for them" 🙂👍
I love this, thanks :-)
Your bandsaw is an absolute beast.
Thanks :-) as you could imagine, it’s one of my favorite things.
I like it..
the professionalisme of making the mold👍
the cooling down in the snow ❄️😀

What better way to freeze lead than in the snow... subscribed!😂
Fabulous watching somebody actually make something, thanks.
Holy Crap, just watched the placement of the ingots in the bilge, never thought about how the molds were produced and where the molds were from, only presumed they were from onsite. Cool!
Glad you found your way here! There's a more in depth video of the final sizes and shapes here: ruclips.net/video/HYiM4cIkv6g/видео.html&lc=Ugz8j58X5eecQfDucU54AaABAg I hope you enjoy it too!
Of COUR5E you'd be working on something for the Tally Ho... been following that project since almost the very beginning... years now. EXCELLENT!
I have too Tyler. I sort of feel like a lot of us have lived and died thru the ups and downs as realities appeared and sunk in and were conquered as the project went on. So cool to watch and super cool to be able to help out even just a little bit.
Beautiful work.
yet an other puzzle piece for the Tally Ho project, awesome contribution 👍
Fine work, nice shop, I love it!
That's a beast of a saw.
Marvel model 8 Mark ll. 18x20 capacity. speed is controlled by a variable pitch pulley system but perhaps the most amazing thing is the power feed which is a powered turning shaft interrupted by a pair of round plates one of which that has 6 small corks (yes corks) in it that supply friction to the idle end when forced together with a counterweighted arm to advance the saw head as the blade removes material making room for it to move. If it hits an obstruction it just stops without ruining anything mechanical with the saw. Just makes me chuckle every time I use it at the absolute genius behind it.
@ShredPile Learning just a little about it makes it even more impressive. Thank you.
Love it, thanks Jake, nice little fabrication there! Your workshop reminds me of the many metalworking shops i've worked in.
Thanks for that:)
As mentioned before, it’s normally a bit tidier, but it’s been a long winter work season. They all do kind of take on the same look don’t they?
Amazing bandsaw, never seen one quite like it! And I thought I'd seen everything after that saw Leo was using on Tally Ho's framing. Other than that, our shops are about the same, right down to the welding helmet.
Lots of work comes out of shops like ours :-)
The saw is a Marvel model 8 mark II. I left some info about it in some other comments here. A guy can live without one up until the point that he gets one and then it's irreplaceable. One piece of info that I left out of the other comments is there is a series of trip levers and stops you can set to kick the auto feed out of drive if you want to only cut partway thru the same part over and over again. Thanks for watching.
Nice work 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Jake almost every youtuber has had a part in the Tally Ho's rebuild Keith Rucker to Windy Hill
Haha! Jokes on everyone, I don’t think I’m a RUclipsr, yet, but a construction guy that just turned on the camera. I actually did a couple other little jobs for Leo before I started posting videos. One of them has shown up and another one should be showing up soon. I just figured with as broad a reach that Leo has that some of you guys would be watching him already and would get a kick out of this one too.
@@ShredPile yes your right the other two guys did the capstan. the other guy did the deck decking soon the launch
How cool wood it be to stamp Tally Ho on it with your initials and a year to date it. I know it will be largely hidden but it will re-appear some day. I did it on some timbers 24 years ago and was reminded when I came to re-model the building I’d made. It had my name and the guy who made it with me. It was certainly fun to discover it………… best of luck, W
We think alike, I’m gonna try my hand engraving TH 1910 into the bottom of one of the second batch of molds. It doesn’t have to be very deep, and it will only be in one of the molds, so only a percentage of the final simple ingots will get it. Thanks for checking out the video :-)
Stitch it in with the welder.
How to tell it's cold in the shop without telling it's cold, 'put's the hot lead mold in the snow outside with the door open' 👍 Looks good to me! Now hope Leo approves.
Need to use different cooling method here in Darwin, NT For Jake: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Believe me, I was so happy to see that snow finally leave:-)
@@VladekR Haha, pretty sure your guy's lead would melt on its own if you leave it outside in the summer:-)
Well done! Gotta say though....rusty machines cause my eye to twitch something fierce. Brutal!
Believe me Brian, I understand. It's just the way it is right now though.
From plumbum came plumbarius “a worker in lead,” a meaning that held up through Old French plomier, which became, in the 15th century, the English word plumber. Fun fact.
I love stuff like this. Thanks for that :-)
@@ShredPile periodic table; Pb.
Harbor freight has instant darkening eye glasses for welding. Not as good a helmet but would allow you to tack those pieces without removing the glasses
_FASCINATING!_
We’ll be sticking like baby yak to a nappy…..Leo is surrounded by such amazing, talented people. “Tally Ho” was a thing of beauty in her hay day, being returned to that former beauty by your talented hands.
That's an unusual bandsaw rig. Interesting.
Found this by accident. Good job!
Passing thru! Big fan of your work and I’ve been known to leave similar signs of my passing :-)
Very Cool!
Love the 'Organic Cooling Chamber!😀

@@ShredPile I think Nature has already got it! 🙂
@@ShredPile When I was a kid, I always thought that was somebody's name!
@@andrewwilks2700 #MeToo.😊
@@andrewwilks2700 Haha, I sort of did the same thing recently when I kept seeing the artist 'FEAT.' pop up on everyones colabs:-) My kids had to set me straight, I think they're still laughing.....
I spent almost ten years chopping up every kind of metal with a pair of Marvels just a little newer than yours. Absolute beasts. We had a brand new 20 x 24 in the I beam shop and it was awesome! I loved the older machines more though. Sad to see yours so rusty but I understand the conditions are what they are up here in the PNW.
They say the only thing that will stop a Marvel is OSHA:-) The rust bugs me too but its made out of such good steel that it cleans up in a jiffy when spring really hits. I've tried running higher concentration of soluble oil in the coolant and it helps protect it but it absolutely slimes everything else around so i quit that. I'll probably just make a cover for it to see how that helps.
I also have the version older than this one which is just the plain model 8. It hasn't been converted to single phase yet but I got a great price on it at a local auction and I knew it had just had a ton of new parts put on it. I'll probably restore it a bit and build a dry shed for it. They just do so much work and you can walk away and leave them running to do it.
@@ShredPile Oh I'd love to see the older one. Make sure to film it when you rebuild it. I would get OCD when they started getting rusty and break out the oil we used for drilling and grab a handful of chips and use them like a brillo pad. They were the only clean things in the shop. LOL Have you tried hosing it down with WD-40 or similar after a good scrubbing? I think we used liquid wrench as our cutting fluid for drilling and it really kept the rust away.
@@ShredPile ACF 50 and Dynax UC work a treat for rust reduction. Dynax UC takes a few weeks to cure but lasts for years once applied. ACF 50 is good for top up on new areas of rust.
@@nrml76 Solid Gold friend, Thank you.
Both ordered and on the way. The Dynax is coming from the UK thru ebay and that was the simplest way to do it. No other real ways to easily do it on my quick search. Glad I got up early this morning!
cheers.
Very generous person to help out Leo. As a retired Tech Ed teacher the work shop safety is horrible.
My drill press isn't bolted down either
Yup and why the few things left that are made here now cost 10X more money, take 10X longer and are moved overseas to avoid the safety sally.
Rust never sleeps.
Nice process, ballast is not as fancy lad as the capstan but it is needed just the same.
Thanks!
Thanks Garry! I'll stop for a cup of coffee in the morning and say thanks again:-)
Great video a lot of good work and very little talk ,jobs a good one.
Wow, ok MAJOR channel overlap! Caught me off guard,lol.
hahaha! gotcha:-)
You know, for a minute there I thought you were making a mouse trap for Tally Ho. Well, it looks pretty good! I think it could handle the most hearty of mouse.
Now I’m thinking there’s no way the Tallyho can set sail without the most ridiculousl of polished brass antique steam punk style rodent entrapment device….
Good day.
In my area , it`s prohibited to tucking pants into boots when welding.
Idea behaind this- when molten metal falls on to your pants - it can roll into your boots and cast severe damage.If pants OVER boot - to drop of metal just roll to ground , leving you save.
Hola, soy Dominicano 🇩🇴 y no hablo inglés y leal suscriptor me gustaría que pongan subtítulos en los vídeos porque no se para qué sirve la pieza que hizo, por los comentarios que es de plomo🇩🇴🇩🇴
@@franciscoantoniomartinezsa3289 Did you just call him a soy boy? If you no hablo English you had better keep your mouth shut.
Besides grand sailing adventures (which are going to fabulous and hugely popular), I wonder what Leo will be doing 5-8 years hence. Boggles the mind. Thanks for sharing.
Well said, we are all fortunate to have watched this unfold from the start and it's been as much fun seeing Leo grow into a fantastic project manager as it has enjoying how so many viewers have stepped up to sponsor him and find other ways to support the project. I'm so proud of everyone.
By the way. Way cool bandsaw.
You could put some soot from an oxy acetylene torch in the mold to help release the lead.
Very cool Jake! You going to be part of the crew back to the UK?
Thanks Robert! Heck no, I'm quite happy on dry land :-)
Not bad!
What kind of sunscreen are you using? I can't weld anything bare handed, get a ferocious sunburn.
You have some awesome tools. Especially the Do-All saw 👍 But why use Dykem layout fluid when you cut groves in your part with an Awl. A simple pointed object such as a Needle would work. Using a Machinist square would also make the layout easier and you can mark both sides of your work. And wearing Rubber boots while pouring LED 😱 1/2 second melt time 🤔
But your finished product looks and works perfectly 👍👍👍
Those Fireball squares are great aren't they?
at the start that bandsaw looked like a hassle to setup.... then i saw it cut, totally worth it.
Yeah it’s definitely a ‘plan your best order of operations’ game when you are cutting out a list so you have to toggle back-and-forth between angle and vertical as little as possible but the accuracy of it is nuts. For the final molds, I ended up bolting a rip guide near the front edge and moving the cut head all the way forward to use it like a vertical Bandsaw at that point.
Plus kitties!
Love your precision and attention to detail on this humble little build. It sure produces nice , neat billet and will suit the other cool refinements on Tally Ho very nicely. Is there an imbedded handle in the future for ease of handling and placing and removing from the sole spaces??? Or isn’t that necessary for their intended placement?
thanks, I thought the same thing about a recess for some sort of hook or handle and offered the idea when I got the drawing but we decided against it for simplicity. I think the minor angle to all surfaces helps a lot to provide enough enough edge to pick them up easily with. In the end, although 50# seems like a lot when it's in such a small package it fairly easy to handle. Thanks for watching!
@@ShredPile: Thanks, great minds! somehow I think they’re going to wish they had handles when it becomes necessary to adjust the waterline.
@@garyfairbrother5532 I think they'll be ok, theres two styles of ingots, one is a flat pan style 12x4x2.5 that will be a layer over the stepped ones that screw down to the frames. Hopefully it's not something that has to be done often....
Thanks for the video. How many different designs were made? How many molds were made in total? Thanks. I wasn't sure when I watched Leo's video if they were able to use two mold designs (eared and non-eared) or they needed more designs to fit into different places.
My pleasure, there was just the two types. I ended up making 5 of the stepped and 6 of the tray style. Nic modified some of the stepped ingots to fit into narrower frame bays but it sounds like if we had left the original dimension at the step alone they all might’ve fit better. I did a full video of the making of all the molds in the final dimensions here: Ingot molds for Tally Ho's internal ballast- Final shapes plus a bonus project.
ruclips.net/video/HYiM4cIkv6g/видео.html apologies if you’ve seen that already, if not, it’s kind of more of the same but in bulk :-)
What makes the lead release from the mold?
Three things;
-the shape- all sides are angled 3*
- the fact that lead shrinks a lot as it cools
- and a spray on dry graphite lube that I prepped them with:-)
Thumbs up for the shop Cat Supervisor 😻😻😸😺/ will you be casting the 300 ish ingots there in your shop ?
I'll pass that on, Tuck Buckford is currently at his other job as the sheriff of the neighborhood association :-)
No casting here, I was just interested in how it would release when poured so I tested it before i sent it to him. The final molds are a bit bigger and Leo will be pouring them at his shop. Thanks for checking in.
Hail the algorithm!
I subscribed.
#TallyHo !
Those vee blocks sure need to see a surface grinder.
SWEEEEET!
Will they be interlocked together somehow so they cannot move around, when fitted into the keel under storm conditions?
That’s exactly what I thought when I first got the drawing. I didn’t get an explanation with it but once I got it headed his way I asked about it and he told me that they’re meant to hang in between the frames. The frames are doubled if you remember And each one of these will hang to that centerline of the doubler. The final design has an unequal step height from side to side so that they hang over the bronze floors. This particular shape will get a hole drilled in it and be anchored to the frames with a screw. There’s another flat pan style that’s low and wide that will make another layer over the top.
Hi Jake, I just found your channel. I have been following the rebuild of Tally Ho series sense the beginning. Can you tell me what the brand and model number is of your vertical band saw? Thank you! You have a new Subscriber! 😊👍🏻
Sweet thanks for the sub! The saw Is a Marvel model 8 mark II. 18”x20” capacity . Almost all of them are three phase, but I put a single phase motor into it with slightly higher horsepower to make up for the difference. The cutting speed is adjusted through a variable pitch pulley system and the feed drive is basically a friction disc set up that uses six corks as the drive interface so if it comes up against something hard, it just spins instead of breaking something. I have an older model Mark I that I haven’t converted yet because it’s got a slightly different speed control set up. The electric motor mounts to a gearbox and I just haven’t tracked down a single phase version with the right frame yet. The coolant system all lives in a big tray under the saw with a false bottom above the coolant layer that catches all the chips and it has a set of full length pull out wings with little wheels that roll on the floor so you can catch the coolant dripping off of whatever you’re cutting if it hangs past the table. That said it’s still a big game with buckets and sheet metal to catch coolant that runs down tube steel when you’re cutting a bunch of it. Good times:)
@@ShredPile Thanks for the info, that is a BADASS saw. Can you tell me the footprint and Minimum space needed to operate? Thank you!😊👍🏻
I can see issues with that mold if the side walls are going to deform after some extended use due to the build up heat of the mold. Because that deformation might eventually prevent the ingot from getting released from the mold, or at the bare minimum hard to release from the mold. I would recommend to weld supportive gussets or ribs over the length from the outside walls from the mold in order to make the mold stronger and to prevent deformation of the mold after extended use. That will also help to cool the ingot a little faster.
Thanks for the input,. We talked about reinforcing it, but decided that going with quarter inch material would be sufficient for the job. Since this is just a prototype, it really doesn’t matter. He’s since received five more from which to pour the ingots that he needs. He doesn’t really need that many ingots so I don’t think it’s gonna be an issue of overworking them. It also seems unlikely that they could be used elsewhere due to their unique shape so if they can just make it through the initial onslaught of abuse we’re home free.
@@ShredPileAaaah I see. My thought was that if it needed to be used for 50 ingots or so, the heat might become an issue. But after reading your reply you seem to be well aware of the situation 👍
If its sticky you could also just soot it up with a bit of acetylene. Did they give you dimensional or weight tolerances for the lead?
Just to make lead a bit less toxic to be handling they could rattle-can shoot the ballast weights with some paint. Its the oxides of lead that are poisonous, not the metal. We live in a world of increasing regulation... just a thought.
For diving I used to spray paint my 3, 4 and 5 pound weights a different color. Made it much easier to string together a weight belt.
In university we spray painted our shielding bricks (radiation shielding in a physics research center).
All good stuff here. I'm sure Leo is surrounded by a large knowledge base about lead to draw from and will make the appropriate plans for the pour when it goes down in his shop.Thanks for watching!@@TishaHayes
Nice work on that mold. Your band saw is an interesting beast, no lack of capacity there. I think you are having too much fun with this and glad your sharing the video.
How many ingots does he need ? Thanks for making the mold🎉
300 total of two types, this style he needs less of and he already has the final shape molds. The simpler flat pan style are almost on the way to him now. Thanks for checking this out and I hope you come back for the video of the final molds.
As for any colab YT'er for this project ...like comment and subscribed
much appreciated:-)
Jake how did you get involved with the Tally Ho project ?
#masterofalltrades
It's probably been at least a couple years ago now that he put up a sketch for the drip tray under that crazy Kubota based engine he has and It seemed right up my alley so I hit him up over it and ended up making it for him. A bit later I got a chance to work on another tray for the floor of the head that will probably make an appearance soon. and then just a few weeks ago he sent me the sketches for the ballast ingots and here we are. So I will end up with a few pieces that are more or less permanent to the boat but will almost never be seen and i'm totally fine with that, some people are just made for steerage:-) Port Townsend is about 250 miles north of me but Ups gets stuff there by end of next day on standard shipping so it's pretty easy to just drop it in a box and print a label. It's clear that a lot of people have been drawn to help Leo and i"m no different, Location and the right skill set made it really easy for me to help in the way i'm most comfortable doing. The fact that it now has a chance of boosting my reach a little is a bonus because I hadn't even really thought about a channel when I did the first two projects. Anyhow, there will be another video of the final molds at some point. He has the tricky ones and will have the simple ones soon so stay tuned:-)
_italic_ *bold* -strikethrough-
Funny how “old habits die hard” when I see wielding on videos, I always look away… lol
Nearly same here, I shut my eyes:-)
nice cat.
Would love to see him using correct eye protection when welding.
Does he have enough snow to finish the order?
Hahaha! Yes but we melted so far out into the yard we ran out of hose for the propane tank and had to move the whole operation:-)
How many times do you have to fill that mold?
None actually, I made 5 more in the final shape and I don't think they were filled more than 20 or 25 times each.
Most rust I have ever seen in one workshop!!
Haha, such is the nature of an open work shed in the PNW :-) it’s not for everybody. The 50’ clear span at the front is pretty nice though.
@@ShredPileI love that band saw, never seen one like it.
Should’ve welded the name Tally Ho in the mold so it embossed the lead.
In your next video, take the time to explain the ingot shapes..
Of course. It was a rush job, I only got the dimensions and a need by date. I didn't even know myself :-) By the time I got the final shape I had an explanation too:-)
....how many more to cast?
Just practice ones for this mold and then 300 more I'm told. 1/3 in this style and 2/3 in a flat pan style.
Should’ve made a tetrapod form
I like it! Even better if they could be tessellated so they nest or lock together. Organic/inorganic.
Should work since it has been cat scanned
find it interesting the different ways people go about putting in their ballast "Sailing Yaba" used large PVC pipe filled with iron fillings and oil. others concrete or lead ingots
lol, still waiting on the lab report :-)
@@ShredPile 🤣🤣
OMG...I pour tons of lead in my own molds-including that standard ingot size---Talk about overbuild-----I would have to pour many 100s of ingots to justify the expense
Fireball Tool?
Good eye, I think that one is called the magic square and it's totally legit. Every tool has it quirks and that one doesn't put a lot of flat near the bottom of the work but you can spoof it by clamping a bit of flatbar to it to reach the table. You'll see me do that in the video with the final molds. Thanks for checking us out.

I am amazed that you can't simply purchase lead ingots.
You know, If you soot it out with some Acetylene smut you will probably get a smarter looking finish and a better drop out. Cheers.
True story, I had just brought my cutting rig back from a job and it was bone dry so my second choice was some spray on dry graphite lube. It was mostly proof of concept and it sounds like Leo worked out the bugs pretty good. Thanks for checking in:-)

What is it about Leo Goulding that brings these characters and their arcane skills and machinery into his orbit? To bring to fruition a project that 99 out of 100 would say was dead in the water, to begin with?
I feel that it has as much or more to do with the people that recognize it and applaud it for what it is. There’s so many more intricate facets to this project than the physical part that Leo is navigating with equal ease and I think that resonates with the people that make the world go around using their brains more than their hands. (If that makes any sense:)
Well that is the problem of mixing metric and imperial units. 2000 cubic centimetres is 2 cubic metres and lead is 11300kgs per cubic metre so 22300kgs which equates to 22300 x 2.2046 = 49000lbs anyone adjust my calcs. slightly.
Haha made me look :) there’s 1,000,000 cm³ in a cubic meter. not 1000…….
Don’t put your finger there 😂
It was hot!
Could have done it quicker on a laser or plasma table.
Of course. I was mostly looking for a repeatable setup to make 5 more which all went way quicker the next week. I have an arc droid but the rest of the rig was put away at the time. Just using what was at hand which worked just fine.

Than you'd better start doing a better job of making yourself audible when speaking comments about what you are carrying out, and not standing in the way between your camera and the object you're filming. I'll certainly be back for another part of making the molds for Tally Ho's internal ballast, so if you then show you're able to to a better job, I might get interested. For now it's a big NO!
Good lord man, get ahold of yourself. You're flailing here and I'm embarrassed for you. There's plenty of high production value RUclips out there for people of your discerning and demanding nature, I know you'll be happier when you find it. Thanks for watching:-)
@@ShredPile I'm honestly trying to give the creator of this rather poor video some hints as to how he could improve the quality. If someone starts a RUclips channel, it is for the urge of being seen, or to make some money out of it. Producing poor quality video's does not help these goals. And this really is poor quality, so the quality is obviously not helping when someone asks to stick for more. Better quality video's are much more likely to help reaching the goals. Publishing a RUclips video means one can expect any kind of comment. It's in the nature of publishing. But I'm certainly pleased to have embarrassed someone who doesn't understand that nature. Go find yourself some other windmills to fight against.
@@klaasvanmanen8214 Didn't your mommy and daddy teach you tact as a child? If you're honestly trying to get him to take your advice, you should improve the quality of your delivery. Calling a person out in an arrogant and disparaging fashion is no way to win friends and influence people.
@@user-ym4xy6us5e I'm not looking for friends online. I already have them in real life. What my mom and dad taught me was to be honest and direct. Saying someone should do a better job if he really wishes more people would watch his videos is i.m.h.o. far from arrogant and disparaging. Your way of responding to me however deserves those qualifications a lot more.
This is nothing like how I thought this would be done. How many need to be cast?
I think 100 of this shape and 200 of a simpler shape. I don’t know for sure though. This particular mold doesn’t end up getting used for more than Testing.
