Caution: read a basic book before reading this one
|
|
I have given the book 4 stars instead of 5 because although there is a very comprehensive coverage of the topic, far more than most amateurs would need, I suspect, the author makes what to me is a cardinal sin: he mentions terms, expressions and nouns before explaining what they mean. The glossary, at the back of the book, did not help either. That is why I have recommended that the reader should consult a more basic book first: I suspect that the book was originally written for other members of the trade and was then 'adapted' for the DIY market.

An excellent reference for sand casting.

This is possibly the best reference work for sand casting that I have ever read. It covers bench and floor castings, in all the popular metals (iron, brass, etc..) Ammen uses his 35 years of foundry experience to provide a complete and explicit reference for sand casting.
