Open mold casting. The easiest way to sand cast anything. The best way? not even close. Nothing great is easy. Otherwise I would be an Olympic gold medalist. And they don't count gold foil covered chocolate medals as official. I checked.

This one is specifically designed to work with my metal casting foundry furnace and my bin of petrobond sand, but you can use the ideas in this video do design your own. Or buy the right one if DIY isn't really for you. You don't have to build something just because I told you to. I'm not the boss of you.

I got the solution. And so do many other people. French cleats aren't a new idea. My approach is a bit lazier though, so maybe you'll get some ideas here. Maybe not. And yes i photoshopped a chimp sitting on the shelf next to some fire. I'm not ashamed. Id have the same look as him if my shelf was on fire.
#shoporganizationMake Simple Strong Shelves for French Cleat Garage Storage (New Garage Workshop Part 2)Pauls Garage2022-04-22 | Here's a surprisingly strong shelf that i made pretty simply. Will it support my weight plus all the junk on it, or will it collapse leaving me on the floor in a puddle of my own failure to build a simple shelf? Watch and find out. It hold up, though, so if that was really the cliffhanger to keep you watching, well, too bad. i spoiled it. Darth Vader is Luke's father by the way and Bruce Willis was a ghost the whole time.
#shoporganization #frenchcleatThink Before You Set Up a Home Workshop!Pauls Garage2022-03-26 | Just moved into a new garage workshop and none of my stuff is set up. ill take this from empty (well, horribly cluttered) to a functional space. over the next few videos.
today I talk about how to layout a workshop and some general philosophies of shop organization. maybe some of the info is helpful, maybe I'm just talking to myself. who knows.
I will probably draw most inspiration from Adam Savage, specifically the first order retrievability idea, but try to make a look a little less chaotic. mostly drawing from his series on shop infrastructure
#shoporganizationShe said its not fast enoughPauls Garage2021-07-16 | It's back! The Power Wheels Jeep with the metal Willys CJ2A inspired body has returned for an upgrade. My daughter things it must go faster. OK, i lied, I want it to go faster, so i got some speed parts.
Parts were purchased from MLToys at www.mltoys.com. I have no affiliation with them, they are not a sponsor, but the parts seem pretty awesome.
This jeep is getting pretty beat up and ugly looking, i might have to repaint it at some point. Also i have the itching suspicion that i need a speed control and then while i'm at it why not more power?!?! OK maybe not that last part.
Today, I test my new, bigger crucible and combined lifting/pouring tongs I made recently. Do i drop it and dump molten aluminum all over? No. Sorry, that was a spoiler. But a better question might be "How much aluminum fits in that crucible anyway?" That we can test.

Remember those 2 new crucibles I got? Well, i didn't feel like pulling them out of the furnace with my hands, so I built these new tongs. Since i'm lazy, however, I didn't feel like making separate lifting and pouring tongs. I wanted 2. I'm still bitter I needed to make it with moving parts, but i'll get over that soon enough.
These are easy lift and easy pour, thanks to some clever (read: Stolen from others' tongs) design features. Watch and try to guess where a bit of welding slag falls and burns a hole in the top of my shoe. I edited out me jumping, but it's there.

Lets make a big table. But because i'm lazy, lets make it from parts i can just buy at Menards. No complicated joinery, just 2x4's, sheets of hardboard (pre- cut) and screws.
As an aside, does anybody know how big a 4' x 8' table is when you try to fit it into a room? It's pretty big.
Today, we talk about crucible tongs. Tong talk, as my non-existent old tyme radio show would be called. if this was more than 13 minutes and recurring, which It's not. Basically, I need crucible tongs for those 2 big crucibles I got. I'm gonna talk through the design process and what i'm thinking so when I build them I can jump straight into it instead of rambling for 6 minutes before the sparks fly. These are those 6 minutes. "But the video is like 13 minutes!" I hear you protest. Well, not all 13 are about crucible tongs. There's a solid 6 minutes on topic, however. Consider the rest a bonus. I promise it includes at least one dig at an old Frenchman trying to impress people with his opulence in a way that would fall absolutely flat today. You're welcome.
