I might pour this pattern when its all done to make sure it comes out ok. When I do, ill pour the crosshead slide as well as it is a double shrink pattern. The cross head guide will be cast in iron, and I plan on building a larger furnace before I attempt it. Don't worry, ill video the molding and pour.
