Sand Rammer for Greg: Different Gating, Better Finish, And Failures... @PaulsGarage

Uploaded July 2019 | Updated September 2026, 2 hours ago

Today I crack open the flask I poured in the last video. It's a sand rammer for Greg, the sword casting guy, special guest coming soon. I tried a few changes in my never ending search for a better surface finish. Some of it worked, lots of it didn't. Ooops. Screw ups are part of learning. The thing will work fine, anyway.

Here's the video of the original sand rammer casting: youtu.be/eHb22MaZcuc
Here's the video of where I poured this flask: youtu.be/1PgJLgRaNFI

$DIY Electric Heat Treat Oven/Kiln/Furnace Part 0.5: Design and Materials (Fire brick and Kaowool) I find myself in need of another box-o-fire, this electric. Heres the plans. It runs 240v, somewhere around 12 amps, and will hopefully have a max temp of around 2400f. The fancy magical computer controller can be programmed to do anything, which means I can use this for heat treating metals, pottery, lost wax mold burnout, glass art, precious metal clay (whatever that is) and probably reheating my coffee with high precision. Heck, I could melt the coffee cup if I want. This will not, however, be used to melt metal for casting. It will take too long. Fortunately my other box of fire can handle that (the fire brick foundry furnace: https://youtu.be/QzbuNlCO52Y ) I got my insulating fire brick and ceramic wool from: https://www.armilcfs.com/refractory-products/firebrick/ Controller is from: https://www.ortonceramic.com/ Elements are OEM parts for Skutt 818 https://skutt.com/ Mailing Address: 1818 Milton Ave STE 100 #1973 Janesville, WI 53545-9998 We have a community Discord server.
