If you take a look here, I give more details about my greensand:

There is also tons of good information here about homebrew greensand & casting:

I’m planning on making a smaller propane furnace, and doing some lost foam casting. I’ll most likely do a full set of videos on that so stay tuned.

Cheers,
Morgan

I just found your web site and will be watching your progress. I’m going to build mine some times this fall maybe. Would really like to use a DC motor drive system like yours. Do you have the schematic for you drive board online? What kind of motor are you using? Can they be found on the cheap …….. maybe reaped off of something that’s easy to fine?

Also……..are you not using any cutting fluid on your cuts……….looks like it would cut 10 times better with just a couple drops of cutting fluid on each pass!! Also try just one drop of cutting fluid on each hacksaw cut you make on aluminum and you will need less than half the elbow grease to power it threw the cut. Try it and you will never go back to DRY cutting again. :) Have fun……..will be watching your progress………….Rick
