Successful Aluminum Casting And Homestead Updates

I tried casting aluminum for a third time and finally - success!! I got a good pour and good castings. I made more of a summary this time. And I show you around the homestead to see what we have been up to recently.

I got a load of sawmill slaw wood to process into firewood, pickets for my fence and some for garden pickets for sale. Watch the video here:

For aluminum casting I used Petrobond casting sand this time that I bought online. This is commercial and professional casting sand. This stuff worked. I got perfect castings. The stuff burns and smokes very bad though and a lot gets used up in the process. They sure do not show that stuff on the videos.

Around the homestead we have been cleaning up some more. I am moving wood piles and processing lumber and firewood. The girls follow along and clean up the tree bark. That all goes into the gardens for walk ways to keep the weeds down.

I have been working on the watch tower now and then as well. It is coming along slowly.

Thanks for watching. Please Subscribe & follow my daily videos.
