GOOGLE MAP of casters

Lol yep thanks.

 

Howdy folks! Just trying to keep this thread active.

The real reason I am a caster instead of an onlooker wishing I could do what you folks do, is because of this board AND more importantly this exact map.

I was able to meet up with Solarfreak via this means and that made ALL the difference! To have a helpful soul to demonstrate some techniques.

As an aside I saw Ryan (Solarfreak) at our local farmer's market a week or so back which kinda relit the fire (pun very intended) for casting and I have made a micro-furnace (Paint can and forced air propane) and was able to get an aluminum melt....I hope to have some gingery machine(s) cast soon enough.

Was looking for this map a couple weeks ago! Good to see it still exists!
I'm still there! Maybe change my name from _3D_ to 3Dcasting.

 

Mister Hall is now officially a MICHIGANDER!!!!

I am living on my family land in Harrison, MI

I moved up here a few weeks ago and started a new job working IT at Ventra (Flex-n-Gate) in Evart Michigan.

I thought I had some heavy metal. These presses are pushing upwards of 3000 tons pressure.

Thankfully I get to play with the bits and bytes side of that, but the dies they use are easily 6 foot by 5 foot by 3 foot....HUGE! I would love to get pics, but due to patents and such that would get me in big trouble.

 

OK, I’ll spill the beans about Flex-n-Gate:

Interesting place! According to the “ about us” company page they started out 70 yrs making car bumpers and still
make them along with a lot of other things. Similarly, I know a woman who is the granddaughter of a Detroiter who started a small business in his garage making auto-related tooling. The family still privately holds what has become a huge corporation and she has played a significant management role. To meet her you would never guess that next-door Katie had that background. Her grampa, rightfully, is a family legend.

Nice try to hijack a thread. ;-)

I have deleted my Kentuckiness

I am now officially here in Michigan. Like, really here. Kicked my mom out of the house and all...

Oh, I snuck another contender IN on the map.

Please welcome Jordan. I think he's just shy.

Before I left Kentucky I helped him by gifting him my turkey fry foundry and a bunch of kit.
We built him a flask and actually got MOST of a cast done before I left.
His dad was there to help and learn. Both are fantastic people!

 

Aight folks, Mr. Hall is rekindling his fires, pun very intended.

Anyone want to get on the map??
