Metalurgia, forja y fundicion

I am a woodworker and factory manager, now outsourced/downsized/partially retired and doing customer service and website product support but still standing! My background is industrial engineering and woodworking, and I have run and consulted in the design/control for high temp incinerators and wood-driven heating systems starting on the one in my own factory which ran close to 3000 (melted the 2800 original firebrick like pudding), which I relined and re-designed the airways and fire...

Hello from VT

Hi, I've been sand casting and lost wax casting off and on for a number of years -- mostly off.

Most of the items that I've cast have been fairly clunky because, well, finely detailed models were very hard for me to do by hand.

I've just started using 3D design and a 3D printer to produce my models and now I can create models that are much more delicate. I'll start casting them this week!

If you're in the area and want a casting buddy, I'm looking for some folks to cast with once the...

Currently working at The Innovative Shapecasting Group.

Morning all!

A pleasure to be here and see what I can share/ learn. I work a lot with lost wax bronze casting and one offs in silver or pewter, and am learning more everyday

Hi there!
I got the suggestion to join here from reddit. Metal casting is an entirely new field to me, but has been something I want to dive into for a long time.
I'm part of a non-profit association based here in Greifswald, where we are creating an open workshop for hobbyists and interested people in all kinds of crafting fields. And with our recent plannings to expand the metal shop with a high temp section (forging, gas welding and casting) I'm always looking for new knowledge to...

Hi folks. I still admin the old Alloy Avenue Google Map.
Tell me WHERE you live, Country, City/Town, State, etc if you want on!

Is it better to have folks ask IN the thread or in Private Message?? It's kinda neat to see who likes playing along in the thread.

Well I will be moving to Tennessee in two weeks. Currently I am in Orange County California. I started becoming interested in aluminum casting a year ago while learning to build my own vintage Honda motorcycle. I found an article that explained how they created the engines by Sandcast method and figured why not continue to make parts in that way. Not knowing where to start, I found a few resources from Youtube and Ebay that helped me to put together a hobby foundry and off I went. through...

Hello from Tennessee

A long time ago I bought 2 dies to build a knurler, due to lockdown for covid I found the time to build it.
I started with 3 pieces of C45 steel that I worked and grinded.

Hullo, I looking for ideas really. I retired from precision engineering, college workshop technician and 30 years in a shipyard and now have a small Colchester student and similar size vertical mill. I have been making the Quorn t/c grinding machine, which has been a challenge but enjoyable.Being me I am looking to remake the grinding spindle with a different design, perhaps angular contact bearings , just because I can, nothing wrong with the original design by the way. I'd welcome ideas on...

Grinding spindle.
