what you use for casting? hard packed sand?
they have a special sand for it. make a mold of something you think is cool out of wood or plastic, then pour aluminium in it. Then a lot of buffing. In high school, we made copies of hurst shifters and change the lettering, mine said CUDA on it instead of Hurst.
Grew up with a machine shop in the garage, made Harley valve guides during the summer for two summers, made some good cash for a 15 year old.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
