Re: Sand casting?

I haven't done it...but as I understand it you need to make several molds to form the sand cores, then you need to put the sand cores together in the casting box, then pour the iron, let it cool and remove the sand.

The sand cores are not reused. The molds used to make the sand cores are reused.

Labor was inexpensive back then...
