    couple things, the casting is not fixed in place, maybe put it against a wall?

    the second swing on the rear casting looked like a whiff

    Watch it to the end where Sandy points out:

    'We make engines with a lot of explosions going on inside from aluminum castings. Not pieces of stamped metal welded together.'​

    Just technical but it bugged me: if you’re employing full face protection, flip it down before you start swinging.

    When an engine block is damaged, it is replaced, not repaired.
    How is that going to work out with these frame pieces?
