I decided to upgrade my Mk I wax fillet mold (drywall corner bead heated with a MAPP gas plumber's torch ) to a Mk II machined plate and a cleaner...
Welcome to the forum Don!
Jeff, nicely done. The stamped markings and ferrules take them to the next level.
I took a look at the handles yesterday. Some of the polyurethane was still soft. I realized that as I opened the new can to dip the handles, I...
Koen, did you even figure this out or try it again? I wonder if the coating failed right at the end of the pour. There also seems to be quite a...
It's an extrusion that is rotating around an axis. Here is one in Inventor, Fusion is similar (same parent company Autodesk). [ATTACH]
Drawing look good Andy, thanks. Did you develop the main round shapes (not the triangle gussets) as extruded sketches or a revolved surface? A...

I like that idea, part of the reason for cutting them was to not to have to remember which one of the ends I was using. They tend to roll around...

The 'real' Roscoe design is 3+1/8" wide at the top and front tapering to 3" in the bottom/back. One of the right angle legs is 1+3/4" and the...
I made a big flask with fun laser motifs for Saint Patrick's Day and mounted the last two assemblies.I am thinking I will need to shorten the pin...
Where is there a P-Chem major specializing in organoclay when we need them?
John, thanks for all of the details and pictures. The last pour where I let the metal get significantly (ahem) above 1380F/750C was much more...
