Initially the castings are finished by simple hand methods, but it isnt long before the developing machines are doing much of the work to produce their own parts. It does not take long to learn the simple craft of patternmaking and sand molding. Each phase of the projects increase your knowledge and skill. There is no need to look for outside help. You can do it all in your own shop. No complicated mathNo exotic equipment requiredNo large cash outlay. Lots of work to be sure, and some of it can be downright tedious, but the reward will be a practical small scale machine shop that you might never give yourself permission to buy, assuming you could afford it.
