Description
The Backyard Foundry by B. Terry Aspin is a comprehensive guide to small-scale casting and moulding. At one time, many towns had local foundries that catered to small casting jobs, but these have largely disappeared. This book provides the knowledge and techniques needed to make your own patterns and castings, covering basic principles, materials, and processes. You'll find detailed explanations of pattern making, moulding boxes, cores, core-boxes, and various furnace types, including step-by-step procedures with examples. The book also covers sources of specialist materials and includes a design for an outdoor furnace suitable for small-scale commercial work. Whether you're a model engineer or simply interested in making mouldings or castings, this book will provide the confidence to get started. With its focus on practical techniques and detailed explanations, The Backyard Foundry is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to explore the world of casting and moulding.
