The best joy is when you sign a contract and they bill you for more than the contract price. Some how them destroying my patterns is always my fault. In the past I have had foundrys pour metal on my patterns because some boob forgot to remove them from the flask. If he starts to pour I have a feeling my luck with foundrys will change. He knows me well and is really trying to get going. I have told him that I will take all he can pour. I am hoping to get him to pour iron later on. At least some of my parts needs will be filled, in aluminum. He has purchased most of the necessary equipment and he wants to make a go of a new business. I hope to go into partnership, this summer, with a fellow that wants to start a small aluminum foundry. Today the metal melt biz is about constant buyouts and seeing how much you can screw your customer, before they run overseas. Today's foundry owners all are waiting for some magical time when they need work and they feel like making money. After waiting two years without delivery suddenly he was going to start ramming up flasks.sure. The foundry owner started some song and dance when I told them to ship the pattern back to me. The fellow that I bought this pattern from, originally sent the pattern there. A foundry in Texas sat on this part for several years and never got around to making it.
It requires no cores and I want hundreds of pieces made. I have one water pump impeller pattern that is an aluminum board mount and is multiple pieces per standard flask. Next month I am traveling out to retrieve those patterns again. They then closed their doors overnight, and I almost lost my patterns. The foundry that had this same set of patterns before sent me three thousand dollars worth of total scrap. One foundry in Ohio has had some of my proven patterns sitting on their shelfs for two years and they never get around to pouring them. I have several patterns out for pouring and my work is not the typical small run stuff. Most iron foundrys are run by persons slightly above the level of drug dealer, and slightly lower than a lawyer. Best of luck to you looking for a foundry.
