As a way to celebrate National Manufacturing Day, Central Indiana Chapter Board member, Paul Masina, along with two other members of the AFS Central Indiana Chapter, set up their Chapter’s Foundry in a Box display to expose local high school students to the world of metalcasting. Students were able to pack and ram their own sand molds, as well as pour molten tin to create their very own castings.
