    Hey folks, been wanting to try casting ever since I stumbled on Mark Presling's channel. I have a pretty complete machine shop and I see casting as a natural extension.
    Thanks for having me.

    Welcome David, you'll have to tell us a little more about the kind of parts you're interested in casting and the casting process you're considering.

    Best,
    Kelly

    Likely small'ish parts for tools and jigs and I expect to sand cast at the beginning.

    Welcome.
    Get into it.
    Casting is very useful and perfectly compliments a machine shop. And this forum has plenty clever folks who be happy to help or give advice or ideas.

    Thanks @Tobho Mott, it was your signature on Canadian Hobby Metal Workers that got me here.
