Hello, I am Mark from Belgium, thank you very for approval. Please forgive my foreign English I am daily machinist, lathe mill grinder conventional and used to learn gas and tig welding . I have just discovered the work of Kelly on lost foam and was blown away by the quality and methods. I was blown away by Kelly’s involvement in this Forum and sharing kindly helpful techniques giving a bunch of light to many enthusiasts . I will try to apply the techniques discussed and post my experience. thank you very much everybody !!! Cheers - Mark
Hi Mark, welcome. I'm sure you'll find the forum friendly and knowledgeable. We'll look forward to your future posts. Best, Kelly
Hello Kelly, Thank you very much , I am amazed how good is this forum . It will take me a while to read and sorting out with all post but I am willing to participate actively when time comes . Cheers Mark
Hello Mark. I hope you enjoy this forum as much as I am. I am a newbie to this forum but have been doing casting and home foundry work for decades. Cheers, - bob
Hi Bob , Thank you very much for the kind words, Initially I registered to this forum thanks to Kelly regarding lost foam techniques but I admit to be excited as well by sand casting. For years now I have followed myfordboy and Ol foundryman who are really clever in their approach, from my beginner view. I hope to meet several people in the same league, it’s really exciting. ‘Anybody know if Ol foundryman is member here ? Anyway I am not forum guy but this forum is really fantastic and people here are really great. Kindest regards Mark
He prefers to use his YT channel. Unfortunately his health has curtailed that activity. I find forums to be a far better searchable repository of technical knowledge and vehicle for real time assistance, compared to FB, SC or Twitter. Best, Kelly
Thank you for the reply Kelly , Sorry to hear about his health ! I hope a prompt recovery. Foundry wise , this guy is talented !! Cheers Mark
