    Hopefully you figured out "marbles" right away.
    After all I did provide an ebay link to some nice red ones..
     
  2. I've never heard the term scat-blast. I guess it's Skat Blast.

    We all need help around here! Minds STRAIGHT to the gutter.:eek: Do not google scat, you'll lose your appetite. Someone got me once with that whole two balls one cup whatever the hell it was.
     
  5. When the scat hits the fan, so to speak. I finally figured it out, when you want to blast the sh!t out of something.

    When your dog is sick the veterinarian doesn't want you to bring in its pedigree.

    David is going to have to start a new thread on this one ... we've managed to take this one right down the tubes (er, sewer pipes).

    I think we are all a bit stir crazy, waiting for spring to arrive.

    20190211_094405.jpg Working on a gating system. I might choke down the gate before it enters the casting to see if it helps any...

  15. I'm curious why you're coming in at the top of the casting, if I'm seeing the basin and runner/gate right.

    I plan on not attaching any vents, and have concerns with the melt freezing before it completely fills the cavity if I gated into the bottom......

    Is this your first run with cast iron in solid block investment?
