I recently bought some books that detail how to build a furnace and do sand castings. It looks basically easy with the proper technique. I am guessing it can't be all that difficult since they were casting metals for 1000 years. I am toying with the idea or replicating some hard to find parts for my old tractors. One book even details how to make your own pistons.

I am assuming that IHC used wood positives to create a cavity in the sand mold, then flowed hot iron into the cavity. There may be a blacksmith club in your area that may be able to put you in touch with local home foundries. All this stuff can be done in your back yard.
