Found Dreaming

Have ya'all wondered whats happened to all the folks that used to post on BYMC? They certainly havn't all shown up here or on the AA network.
Man, I think it's a shame, and can't imagine they have all stopped casting (that would really be a shame!).
Anyway,just wondering......

I think that they lost the way Blindpig, it would be nice to have people to bounce ideas off of though. There are some that are on AA that made the trip here, I'm stating to wonder about Harry haven't seen or saw word of him in the last few days, middle of last week I think was last time I saw him. How's things in your part of the casting world?

People do come and go. They get fascinated by something, do it for a while, and then they're on to something else. But then some of us, when we set out on a path, we follow it all the way, to the end—past the hard part, past the hopeless part, past the boring part, until we have attained some degree of mastery. We appear to be obsessed, even insane, to the dabblers of the world.

That said, building furnaces and melting metal sure is a lot more interesting than watching television or going out to eat for the ten thousandth time.

I couldn't agree more
I have been casting for at least 8 years on and off, depending on the project at the time. I don't see myself giving it up any time soon.

I got to much invested to quit. b4esides I don't have to take the old lady out to eat she left a long time ago, and there really isn't anything on the tube to distract me. I tried another pair of flask sides but only one came out. I know what I did wrong was pouring with the flask on a slope, and I didn't vent the cope. so I get to do it again today. I need three more sets of doubles to have another flask.

I am still here, I am still reading the forum every day...
I am not casting actively at the moment, since I am giving my studies first priority at the moment. I will however start again towards the holidays since I will have some time to myself again then...

although I might make some time a bit sooner to make a few castings, since I recently got my first car: and from the picture, it looks really nice, but this thing is deceiving the previous owner really ****ed it up.
it is a Opel Corsa 1600IS and I can tell you guys it would probably be less work to build myself a new one from the bolts up, but now I got this one and I am fixing it back to it's original state...

I'll start a thread about it when I get it back, it is currently at the mechanic who is rebuilding the engine and doing some body work...

its surely gonna need some custom parts casted for it, right?

gonna fire up this evening and see if I can get a couple flask panels poured, I need five more to make another flask.

you bet...

I got out after spending the afternoon making an adapter that would fit in a 3/4 R8 collet and hold a 1.5 inch end mill, still gotta drill the two set screw holes and thread em. I will post up a picture before long.

I did get out on the backyard and did a little playing in the casting toys, I only did one panel but I think that this one is the best one of the fifteen or twenty that I have poured, a few didn't turn out where they were usuable.
