    Tuhfeh Habash, from Wilberforce University asks a question about the mold form for Foundry Technician Bob Fanning.

    Bob is getting ready to remove the metal pattern that was stamped into the sand mold.

    Feeling like "Rosie the Riveter", Rosalie Richards (from Spelman College) tries her hand at compacting the sand in the mold with the pneumatic sand rammer, as Sally waits her turn.
    Bob Fanning uses the pneumatic sand rammer to pack the sand tightly into the mold form.
