Casting Aluminum1 review
C. W. Ammen
Tab Books, 1985
Good foundry book in general for the small shop
I run a small aluminum foundry. This book has proved to be invaluable. Much about blending sand and different alloys. Also includes sections on homemade foundry furnaces. I wish I had read this part when I was making my furnaces. Lots of practical advice.

Couldn't put it down
After I read the prelude, I couldn't put this book down for two days. It's a story about a Gulf War helicopter pilot named David, his co-pilot Paul, and an Iraqi sympathizer named Saud. Filled with adventure and history, this is a well recommended book.

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2000
No Better Book For a Worker on the Foundry Floor
This is a great book for the foundry worker that wants more background about his/her job. I work in a foundry and often didnt understand why i was doing certain things(eg, what exactly does inoculate do and what does it consist of?) My knowledge of the foundry was strictly mechanical, without exactly knowing WHY i was doing certain things. This book was a great enlightenment as far as my work ...

Casting Brass1 review
C. W. Ammen
Tab Books, 1985
Best book on nonferrous casting.
For sandcasting brass, bronze, copper, nickel silver, this book surpasses all the popular books on bronze casting. Detailed, specific information on the alloys and their qualities. Troubleshooting foundry processes, plus good ideas about the business of casting. It's only shortcoming is it's dated, not current with ceramic shell or other recent innovations.

Fleming H. Revell Company, 1941
One of the all-time benchmarks for creating and running a Business on Christian Principles, as well as personal Christian ethics
Many people now do not know the Robert LeTourneau story. He was very well known in his day both as having founded a very successful earth-moving equipment manufacturing business, and combining it with highly productive Christian evangelism and good works.
What will be of particular interest is how God blessed him with the creativity to design the critical APU Control Unit that unlocked the ...
