FTB 1.5.2 - Tinker's Construct Tutorial: Getting Started
Update: The Ingot Cast has to be created at the Casting Table in the same way as the other casts. This was updated in the mod short after releasing the video.
A very interesting mod in the new FTB modpack is Tinker's Construct. I really enjoy the way to combine metals into an alloy and build tools with patterns. This video describes how to get started with all building blocks and how to craft a pickaxe from it. The next step in TC is to combine different materials to make a good tool and of course upgrade it. As said in the video; a good subject for another video :)
I have made another video about this mod, about how to automate smelting:

There is also a movie about different pickaxe designs:

Liquids can be put into tanks to make everything easier:

There is quite a number of different blocks to build, but luckily the recipes are easy and cheap. Basically only Sand, Gravel, Clay and Wood to get started. In this video I used:
7x Blank Patterns
1x Stencil Table
1x Part Crafter
1x Pattern Chest (optional but recommended)
1x Tool Station
And to the smeltery:
1x Smeltery Controller
1x Seared Glass
1x Smeltery Drain
1x Seared Tank
1x Seared Faucet
1x Casting Table
18x Seared Bricks
That should require 108 Seared Bricks and 6 Glass. This is 54 each of Sand, Gravel and Clay to make the Grout to smelt.
Normally you get the new books automatically when crafting the "trigger items". But I had done it before so I didn't get them in the video. Had to do it again because I had a recording issue the first time ;)
