I think he means ingot molds. Sounds like he's just making bar stock to machine parts out of. Truthfully, if that's what you are going to do, you...
Facebook marketplace got me, now I have a whole new learning curve. I have joined the 21st century...[ATTACH]
If you are going the dense cashable route, one thing you can do to give you a boost in the insulation factor is mix Styrofoam beads in the mix...
After a certain point, a flask becomes impractical. This is a very old method. This is the same technique used to cast locomotive frames back in...
Cool! Thought I saw this on Instagram...
Thanks Kelly! Can never have too many flasks. Room to store them is another story, though...
First one complete! Not totally happy with it, mainly the placement of the ears, but I'm not frigging with the pattern, it just worked too well....
The ingates are at one end, the first one (the worse of the two), was a simple short pour. I misjudged the amount of metal I needed. The second...
Well, first couple of tries, not quite hot enough. It molded up quite nicely, so I'm happy with that.
Ah, ok. Yeah, started doing them that way again and didn't like how they were coming out. The original was more or less a direct rip-off of the...

Hemmed and hawed a bit about where to post this, finally figured it's a flask, so post it in the flask section. I have a large casting project...

Well, didn't realize I hadn't shared mine yet, Tobho, I know you subscribe because you are also one of my most consistent commentors....
I'll see if I can get a dedicated video up on the EZ match thing. And no, I haven't posted on here nearly as much as I would like. It's been a...
These stanchions are fighting me. 6 done, I want to do at least 11. High fail rate, unfortunately. Need at least 10, I'll try again tomorrow....
Here's a better pic of the risers, the one on the left in the first picture is still attached to a failed casting. Pissed me off, it looked like a...
I was very concerned about shrink on the fat end of this casting, my experience with iron ( so far...) has shown me that it's shrinky. So, on this...
Two more done today, would have been three but I think I poured just a little bit on the cool side, not by much, however, because it almost...
