5.0 out of 5 stars
Value above and beyond what meets the eye!
The cover of the book is a little misleading since it was written for hobbyists in miniature railroading. It goes beyond that. The book was written originally for hobbyists in Great Britain, by some of the comments on availability of supplies and names of sources for supplies. The universality of the content makes this issue mute when you get into the depth of each...

3.0 out of 5 stars
OK for Europe and Great Britain
Rather general and incomplete, even for my limited knowledge. Not recommended for U.S. readers. Note: all units are in metric and G.B. measure and terminology.

This review is from: The Backyard Foundry (Workshop Practice, No. 25) (Paperback)
The cover of the book is a little misleading since it was written for hobbyists in miniature railroading. It goes beyond that.The book was written originally for hobbyists in Great Britain, by some of the comments on availability of supplies and names of sources for supplies. The universality of the content makes this issue mute when you get into the depth of each chapter. Examples given for making cores and for moulding with "Green" sand are bountifull. As an Engineer with formal classes in casting I was impressed with the information provided. Some of the information was great review for those classes taken so long ago. Addiitional technical information on how and why things are done bolstered my confidence this process can be done by the individual hobbyist. In my case I am turning a hobby into a retirement business, so the value of this small book will have long lasting value. I expect to be wearing this book out by frequent referencing.

disappointed,
By todd "6kids" (Albion, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Backyard Foundry (Workshop Practice, No. 25) (Paperback)
A little disappointed with this book. I was expecting (hoping) for a little more insight on the foundaries themselves and a little less on process.
