I don’t think it’s so much smart as it is the mad part, lol! But… when you think about it, guys like Vic Sr., MT, Barney Navarro, and many others took up the art and started making their own parts from scratch.. When you start studying the learning curve involved with doing that sort of thing when it comes to casting metal, it’s really amazing that they were able to become as successful as they were. Having known several foundry workers and managers before, it takes a lot of work just to get things to pour correctly and then stay in one piece during cooling.
