Dave Corinth is a good follow on YouTube. He also has some great videos about making totes. I also just found the 'Just Plane Fun' channel- I think the guys name is Mike Jenkins. He sells plane parts, etc. on his FB group Just Plane Fun the Parts Division.

You should try. Casting might be the easier part. It is not complicated to build that foundry. Machining would be the more difficult part for me. Buying all those milling bits.
