Lost & Foundry History
Started in 1995 as a hobby by the Steve Hoerner "Casting Cowboy", full time as of 2001. After 22 years of foundry service covering the 4 foundry areas. Pattern shop, molding, melting/pouring and finishing. Initially started to make castings for others and gradually worked toward making a "complete foundry package" available for everyone.

I got a job in a foundry when I was 15. When the rest of the kids my age were taking on the cross-town football rivals, 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. 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. As the foundries were automated, the journeymen have all but disappeared.
