The Backyard Foundry
Author: Terry Aspin
About this book
This book covers basic principles, materials and techniques, pattern-making, moulding boxes, cores and core boxes, metals, electric, gas and coke furnaces. Step-by-step procedures are also included with examples of locomotive cylinders and wheels. Although written primarily for the model engineer, anyone wishing to make mouldings or castings will profit from its pages.
At one time most towns of any size had somewhere a small foundry which would undertake small casting jobs, often more out of interest and good neighbourliness than for commercial gain. Those days are no more and model engineers in many areas must either adapt commerically available castings or send away to a specialist foundry which will undertake small work, often at some expense and with some delay. The alternative is to set up a home foundry and to make one's own patterns and castings. This text covers all the basic principles of foundry work, describes materials and techniques, pattern-making, moulding boxes, cores and core-boxes, metals, all types of furnaces, and includes step-by-step procedures with examples of cylinders and wheels.
