This wasn’t like industrial size sand-casting…it is hand packed sand around molds. The metal is melted in a crucible and then it is carried with giant tongs and hand pored into the different molds.
Yes…Stanford still teaches this fine art.
So I learned it. My hands are still black with the sand-oil mixture that we pounded into the cope & drag.
I met a alumni in her 40s who still had her Stanford plaque she made from the same molds, in the same class when she was an undergraduate.
Perfect!!!
Pictures attached…enjoy.
