The Backyard Foundry (Workshop Practice Series, No. 25)

"A foundry is a factory which produces castings of metal, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Metals are processed by melting, pouring, and casting. Iron is the most common base element processed in a modern foundry. However, other metals, such as aluminum, copper, tin, and zinc, can be processed. A foundry accomplishes the processing of creating molten metal by using a furnace. The furnace is one of the main parts of a contemporary foundry.

In a foundry, molten metal is poured into molds. Such molds may be made of sand, metal for permanent molding, ceramic, or refractory materials. The pouring can be accomplished with gravity, or it may be assisted with a vacuum or pressurized gas.

When the molten metal changes states from liquid to solid, it is said to be cast into a shape.

The finished product of a foundry can be more versatile than the product of a rolling or machining process. Also, the process of casting molten metal, as is occurs in a foundry, can be far more automated than the labor-intensive machining method."

Dear Metal Casting Fans,

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.

In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
