[Steam-engine] Make your own Iron Castings!!

[JEFF LUND]

I have taught some casting in a metals class.   It has
been an enjoyable, and very educational section for
the students.   Some shop teachers can not legally
teach it due to license, and some districts see it as
too dangerous sor students to do.
