Lost & Foundry History
I got a job in a foundry when I was 15. When the rest of the kids my age were hanging out, I was taking on 15 tons of molten iron. I had to learn foundry the hard way, on the end of a shovel or wheelbarrow. Moving weights that were 50lbs each in each hand from molds that have been poured, to ones that haven't. We had to cover the open faced molds after they were filled with molten iron, my leather gloves would brown like toast. Shoveling mountains of sand and iron shavings. Unloading a semi-truck full of 100lb sacks of sand, when I weighed only 130 myself. Every foundry I have worked there seemed to be an older journeyman who would take me aside and teach me things that were not written in any book. For hundreds of years journeymen have passed on foundry secrets to their apprentices.

One by one as the foundries began to close, I saw the writing on the wall. Foundry jobs were not going to last.
For one thing, modern foundries are too big and too complicated. A foundry should be small and simple.

Started in 1995 casting aluminum, brass and bronze.
Propane furnaces in 2000.
Complete foundry kits in 2002.

1200 furnaces sold
50 states and Puerto Rico
21 countries around the world
7 tons of sand mixed and shipped

It is very important that people have every opportunity to create new things. The freedom to express yourself in a medium that is forever.
