He isn't making an engine part, but this metal casting couple in Nepal have the process fine tuned. He even has some Benihana style moves when he raps out the pattern.

It shows that you don't need fancy gear to get good results.

interesting indeed. the heat source an open mud forge. a hand blower . the crucible a steel pan . the flask he he has looks very interesting the hand amazing for modern times and the size adjustable for various size pours.

If you tried to do this on any street in the USA they'd throw you in jail and in sandles no less! OSHA would have a fit.
You can't even pit fire at some non touristy beaches anymore.
I used to make my greenware and have a big beach party every week when I fired them. .

I really like the handles on the flask.
