POURING IRON

The Video Documentary of Knight Foundry by David Weitzman, Lora Change and Andy Fahrenwald

• Pouring Ironexplores the history of Knight
  Foundry; the production process is demonstrated in
  close detail - pattern making, molding, pouring and
  machining. This 124 year old foundry is preserved
  pretty much as constructed and the foundry processes
  are only very slightly modernized from 19th century
  practice.

• Wooden jib booms move pieces of work weighing
  thousands of pounds; the entire foundry, down to the
  lathes and grinders, is still water-powered with
  patented Knight Wheels driving a completely intact
  system of overhead line shafts and belt drives.

• Featuring veteran Knight Foundry workers directing
  younger workers, we see the apprentice process as it
  happens. Most of Pouring Ironis first person stories
  and hands on demonstrations by foundry workers.

• Produced as a visitor orientation program with the
  help of the National Trust for Historic Preservation
  and the Friends of Knight Foundry, Pouring Iron
  brings Knight Foundry back to life. Consider showing
  this tape to bring business and support to help revive
  the foundry.
