A lot of the old small suppliers are all closed now unfortunately, the best bet is to contact http://www.johnwinter.co.uk/foundry-products/foundry-products and see if they have any London contacts? Thanks

I'm just beginning to look at sand casting as something I'd like to try. In answer to your questions I found some good ingredient ideas and technique demonstrations with notes on what's being used and how it works by viewing the myfordboy channel on youtube.com. He's got a lot of videos of him making and fitting forms together along with core making. Perhaps that will help. Brandon

Thanks for the comment,I

Thanks for the comment,I agree with your observation regarding the design of the Cope and Drag I intend to work on the problem.We have had good results with several split patterns using these boxes,however I can see that using cores will make handling the Cope difficult.

Can you give me any advice on the best ingredients for core mixes?We now have a considerable student interest in sand casting and we need to keep it simple.

Thanks again

Fantastic set of videos. Cope

Fantastic set of videos. Cope and Drags look well made. However, the V-alignment blocks would only be any good for flat back patterns. When split patterns are involved, especially those involving cores already placed in the drag, proper vertical descent of the cope is needed long before the cope and drag meet each other. This cannot be achieved with the V-alignment blocks.

Because the sand is used in a damp condition there is minimal sand dust,and this occurs at the mould face immediately arround the hot metal casting ,clearly visible when the casting is knocked out.

Just wondering -- is there

Just wondering -- is there any danger of silicosis with this kind of sand? I would love to know if it is it safe to do this kind of work without the need for an expensive respirator, since I'm interested in doing sand casting (on a budget!). message from http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments=1&v=Kmb5tivQ_bY
