I was going through some packed away things and to my surprise.....my first casting ever. Fall of 1977. Freshman shop class. Freshman shop was 3 months each of wood, machining, drafting and foundry. This was my first project. Loose pattern, green sand, second attempt. First attempt had a rough finish. I screened and made good facing sand on the second go. 43 years later.....on my shop wall it goes. Best, Kelly
