Wow, all that looks like magic! I tired "green sand" like 20 years ago. Never worked out for me, none of it! I did have some success with oil-sand. Paid something ridiculous of few kilos. That was pre internet....

Thanks for showing - really inspirational.

Happy days,looks a right good casting does that  :clap: :clap:

The wire vents you mention,are they serving pretty much the same purpose as piercing with a hacksaw blade,as I have seen others do?......OZ.

I made up a set of 'prickers' - just  bits of oxy-acetylene welding wire about 9" long with a loop bent in one end (so it looked like a kids bubble blower) to hold it by. Gently feel it down to the pattern in several places to let the gases escape freely.

Bottom gating worked well .

Is it one of a pair of pulleys   or do you just need the one  ?


Hopefully I may get a wee  bit of casting done this year , some new foundry toys arrived today  :)


Oh yes , did you do the  :ddb: dance  :lol: :lol:
