Aprils, 2011 I The Clarion Arts & Life Page 7 BC hosts twice- annual iron pour By Carole Anne Martinez Contributor BC hosted its twice annual iron pour outside of Sims Art Building, Saturday, April 2. The preparation for this event was immense and required many volunteers in order to complete it. This was the twelfth Iron Pour Professor Kyle Lusk has been involved in and he says, “Preparation is the hardest part, because in order to pour 1,000 pounds of iron it requires over 40 hours of preparation. ” That is why having students present is a necessity. Present was Andrew Davis, who is an Alumni, as well as Professor Lusk. Five volunteer students were also needed for the Iron Pour to be successful: Dylan Wood, Mark Connelley, Jacob Liske, Dean Mobley, and Wilson Clark. The Iron consisted of crushed up radiators and was heated in the Cupola at approximately 1300 degrees. Once the Cupola is ready the students add 7-pound charges of coke, which are big chunks of charcoal, and 40-pound charges of iron into the Cupola. It then melts to the bottom and there is tap that opens to release the liquid iron. Off on the side there is a ladle that is also prepared before hand to be equally as hot as the Cupola. After the iron is liquefied two people carry the ladle (which is 40-50 pounds) under the tap and proceed to fill it up. Before this process begins, however, there must be a thick layer of sand under the boxes of molds so that the liquid iron doesn’t stick to the ground. The molds are made by art students and were required the day before the Iron Pour commenced. In order to make a mold you must first make a box out of wood and put fine-grade blasting sand (which also has two special chemicals: catalyst and binder). You then push the sand down and place what you want to cast in the box and continue filling it completely with sand, leaving a funnel hole to pour the hot iron into it. This mixture hardens and is ready for the liquid iron. Once the iron is poured into each mold you must let it cool and then break open the box, revealing a personal iron mold, which then must be ground and cleaned up. Although this is an extremely tedious process, it takes a lot of commitment and patience and is a true work of art. Liske, a Sculpture Major, participated for his sixth time this year and he says for students to just make a mold and, “create what their mind conceives.” Chicken Soup Sandwiches ChefBoy-R-Dave Average Cost of Meal: $12-17 Prep Time: 10 Cook Time: 50 Serving Size: 10+ Ingredients: 1 lb.
