These videos will center on the Foundry trade as witnessed in the United States Navy by just under 400 Molders(at least during the time I was in). I will make numerous videos covering a short introduction of myself, the history of human discovery when it comes to discovering metal and information that will be helpful to the "Backyard Molder" in their efforts to make a useful and proper casting whether it be mechanical in nature or artistic in nature.
To get the most of these videos start at the oldest and work you way up to present day. I started making the videos under the assumption that the person watching them knows nothing about making molds and pouring them so introduced the most basic of information to the viewer at first then got more sophisticated with the information as I went on. I hope you enjoy the videos and don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on any parts of the information covered.
