Little engine


I got to go to Birks house with Calvin and Wyatt and my dad and cast an engine and a key. I got to stick the sand in the box and then we got to melted the metal. Then we poured the metal into the sand. When the metal was cold we took out the sand and the metal pieces were in it. When I got home I builded a engine out of the pieces of metal. I had to drill a hole and had to put screws in it to hold it together.

The coolest part was to watch the metal melt. And Birk helped... he is really neat... and he builds stuff, like a steam shovel and he shows me how to build stuff too. He is a awesome guy.

You can see what that motor looks like in this video and you can see how we melted the metal in the other video.
