Re: Alabama Iron Pour....sort of..?
Nice Frank! I live in Cincinnati, not too terribly far from Missouri. My father-in-law works for a huge brewery here, and I always have a hefty supply of beverages on hand. You (and anyone else here who wants to stop by) are always welcome to a cold one and some conversation!

Re: Makking patterns for a steam engine
For what its worth, Ive had some success using Durhams Rock-Hard Water Putty - not as messy or smelly as bondo, and sets up faster - just mix with water to the desired consistency, and go

Re: Makking patterns for a steam engine

Re: Lil Scrapper
Im glad to hear it worked so well Harry. a number 20 crucible will really give you a lot of volume to make big castings. Are there plans for big flasks in the future?
