As a classic boat owner I should really consider getting into this. Here in Sweden we have to either order expensive hardware from Germany and the UK, or make do with ugly production GRP boat hardware.

graphite is a pretty good parting material for sand molds. are you using oil based sand for your investments or a sand mixed with resin and catalyst?
also, that’s a nice furnace. I’ve always thought about making my own, but I don’t have the space for it now.
very nice video, very informative.

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the compliments. We had a lot of fun doing the video. There are always fume problems especially if using recycled bronze as I do. That’s why I did it in my big shop with the doors wide open and a fan blowing as well. Water quench was just so we could handle the product quickly and yes it is a propane jet furnace with fan forcing air to it. Quite simple. Kurt

Excellent video, thanks for posting it. Really clears up the basics for me, and shows that this stuff isn’t too hard for anybody to try! Any fume problems with bronze? Why the water quench? Propane furnace, I assume?

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the compliments. It was a fun video to make and of course its all in the editing. As far the burner details, I would work with Woodenboat Magazine as they furnished me with the info at a course that I took there. I don’t know if there are any restrictions on the desing but they can put you in touch with the instructor. Good luck and happy casting. Kurt

Thank you for the nice words. We have been brainstorming on how to make an interesting boat building video. Most are just too dry and might be of interest to pros but not necessarily to the average person. Anyway thanks. Kurt
