Perry, I just wanted to write an overall testimonial about the invaluable information I've gained by watching your YT videos. A couple months ago, I decided to design and cast (aluminum) some commemorative plaques for 3 training physicians at the hospital where I work. There is no shortage of videos on YT featuring aluminum casting, but not all give sound advice, so it was difficult to choose a video mentor. After watching many videos from Martin (love him!), I viewed one of your videos and I was hooked. I literally had no equipment to start casting aluminum, but you made it appear possible for someone with my limited skills to attempt casting. Long story short, the plaques turned out much better than I expected, especially for my first attempt! I really enjoy watching your triumphs and failures because you inspire people like me with no experience to go ahead and try something that could be very gratifying, and you explain how you arrive at at each of your results-good or bad. THANK YOU for taking the time and expending the effort it takes to write, film, edit, post, answer questions, and create this marketplace to make it possible for people like me to attempt (and succeed!) a new, rewarding hobby!

Bought 20 lb of green sand and have cast with it. The results were excellent. The sand rams easily and produces good surface finish. I do casting demos at a museum in Mississippi and will be using the PLM Foundry sand next month to cast aluminum.

If you're new to the art of melting metal and casting, or if you want a refresher that's sure to jog your memory of what hides in the recesses of your mind, then Perry and his youtube videos are the best place to learn along with him. And if you want to cast things properly and minimize the chance of a failed casting, then the sprue kit is a must. Perry's knowledge comes first hand and can be documented on each of his videos, so you're able to see his progress and how he comes to each conclusion.
On top of that, his customer service is top notch. I am thankful for his website and what he supplies, and I look forward to purchasing more from him as I get back in to this hobby.

The 3d files I bought from the site printed out great, I was easily able to cast enough sand rammers, strikes and rappers and print enough gating and sprue kits for all my sand casting students at the blacksmithing school, plus a set of tools for my own home foundry. I used my own castings of those tool patterns to make the molds for all 21 castings. Perry also gave me a great deal on a 3d model for a custom logo pattern. Highly recommended!
