I broke down and bought a drag knife. Would have been easy enough to make one but I also needed a vacuum hold down table so decided to focus my...
I'm back at it. This is an open plenum single plane intake manifold for running an Inline Autolite carb on a 1969/1970 Boss 302. It retains the...
Had a small casting session this morning. I like small projects like this. A handful of patterns can be made as quickly as one piece. After the...
I've commented on this video previously but couldn't find it. I stumbled acrossed it again today. I haven't done any lost PLA casting and for...
For Letters and Logos on my lost foam castings I have used wax appliques. Works fine but kind of laborious for one copy because I need to make a...
This is probably my best combination of CAD, CAM, lost foam casting, and casting machining to date. I suppose I could throw automotive induction...

I’ve been making some parts along the way but it’s been a while since I posted, so here’s my current project. I had a fella contact me that wanted...
Most forum members know I built and use an aluminum duty, lift off, resistive electric furnace. For the work I do, I really like it. I get asked...
I had a fella send me a CAD model of an intake manifold. I saved it as an .stl, used my CAM Program to reduce it to ¼ scale with one click, pasted...
I saw this in the course of another search and thought it was interesting and may have some merit for making lost foam patterns. [MEDIA] In...
