If you ever start a band, it should be called Seth Robinson & the Sand Rammers. :D Nice job. I've been enjoying watching your videos for a while now.
@NyancyCat
ive seen a pretty decent range of metal cadting content on youtube; this is by far the cleanest cast ive ever seen. no overflows, no fires, no bubbles, no lumps. clean, efficient casting and a gorgeous end product. bravo.
@justindavyduke4182
Just wanna say, what you have made is a perfect tool, I have not made mine just yet but will be done in a few weeks. I remember tools like this in high school, took a shop course and a part of that was metal casting. They had many sand rammers from wood to aluminum to copper and pneumatic. This looks like a perfect design. Congrats.

It would be fairly easy to mill out a square void within the mallet head of the tool and pour in molten lead or bismuth, followed by a flat recessed aluminum cover plate hold in with flush machine screws. That lead or bismuth core in the head would make the blows way more substantial. You could also fill it with lead or bismuth shotgun shell shot to make it a "dead blow" type hammer. #7.5 shot would probably be good. :)

I wouldn’t have thought you’d pull out and replace the object in between the mold creation, interesting

My dad used to say it's it's easier to to something right than it is to do it over. I like your method. Everything was clean and organized. You explained well and the video was nicely done. Thank you.
@mannys9130
Since I'm a friend of Dorothy, I immediately laughed realizing that the ol' backdoor washout device could be repurposed into a casting sand mold dusting bulb. I love things that have dual uses, especially when both uses are very fun! 😸

Thanks for adding Celsius, makes it so much more interesting to watch
@louis-philip
When the old rammers clock in at the office in the morning only to realize at the end of the day that the paperwork they were working on was their replacement's contract.
@MeatSim9
Even though I'm not in metal casting anymore, it's still super cool to watch this stuff.
@laragwen102
Thank you for making the stl files available. These are great.
@mercoid
Good looking tools you made there. Nice, clean job. They look like a good design. Last time I sand casted was in middle school shop class in the late 70’s. We had big chunky sand rammers made of wood. Tapered on one end and flat on the other. They were all chipped up and nasty too.
@Dave-wv9vc
Would love if you could do a video on all the different tools you use.
@jsweizston5410
You could easily get yourself some golf club grips and put them on the handles of your rammers. Would definitely be more comfortable than bare aluminum.

Hello Seth. I sure liked the hatches and your nice, clean exicutions making them. I pour silver in the weight of 2, to 16 ounce range using Petro and Delft Clay. These pieces for ramming the sand are great. Although too large for the flasks I use I am, with your blessings going to make a copper one, as I am not set up for aluminum and silver would be neat a tad expensive for me to use. Stop by if you want to see my setup. I don't have a 3D printer but can stack up some grade 8 bolts,nuts and washers that will work as a core. I sure enjoy the videos you are doing. Everything nice and organised and the design of the pieces you have shown us here are well thought out my friend.. Same goes to your video skills and edditing. Well thought and executed. Well done young fella. You are sure able to get atracted to the way you do this gig that should draw in new and unimformed folks that want to play with fire and metals. Take care and see you next post my friend.
@TwigPB
This channel has to be my favorite. I've easily watched every video at least twice now. Keep up the good work.
@Patrick-zr8tv
Sand isn't the only thing you can ram with these tools ;)
@notyouraveragegoldenpotato
Ah. Fancy. Long time ago i just looked around on the ground for something to use to ram- saw a chunk of 1×2 and 2×2, made nice smooth ergo handles on em with a belt and palm sander. Been using them for a LONG time😂 that and a rubber mallet for my final pack. Have a mold drying up a little bit rn actually going to go pour in a minute
@soundmindtv2911
Those look great! Thanks for sharing the files, too
