Well a friend in ohio sent me some riser cups, and I figured what the heck I was pouring a pretty good size cup full that day, and I figured I'd see what would happen as I wanted to make sure I have plenty of head pressure to pour the two flask panels, so stupid me I set about using some sand to hold the cup in place cause they are some kinda high temp fiber. Well what I should of done was grab a sheet of the funny pages from the local trash talking news paper, and laid it on top of the flask and covered the vents. PROBLEM SOLVED of the sand down the vents. I know I did wrong when I placed the first hand full of sand on top, and little clumps of sand are running around hollering wheres my mommie, and like a little kid fall in the well. OOOOH well, can't cry over a screw pour, learn and go on.
Hey I found and tried some of them thin stamped out measuring spoons, sorta like your melon baller, but more sizes on a ring.
And yes I keep planing one getting some muffler tube from the local shop, but you know how it is when your old and forgetful. I keep forgetting to stop, and I don't think I will find 3 and 4 inch muff tube.
and why not just use one setup make the basins out of SS/Sand, press em up slide em out put in box and gassem like they did bundy.

Back last winter I had bought and installed a 2 axis dro on my milling machine, well yesterday I received in the mail a 6 inch scale with readout for the Z axis, I can't plug it into the mill, but if I go cnc I can plug it into the computer. anyway heres some eye candy
