at least heavy, the only mold i could find that size was a pot from the kitchen.
quite challenging to work on this size in a small lathe.

Ever since reading your post about the struggle and hazard of trying to pour that much at one time safely, have been on a hunt for a video that I saw a few months ago.
Well this morning after a diligent search, finally found it and thought this idea might be of some interest to you.

After watching that link I followed a couple more and came across this. Try not to cringe at 23.00-24.30 I bet you can't.

I can't believe he's using paviers for that  :scratch:

How-to videos are reaching a level where it's getting embarassing to admit you cast metal any more.  :palm:

The guy needs a cordless sawzall just to cut a cardboard tube?

And with his leg folded inside as a clamp?????

I suppose if he'd tried an old fashioned handsaw he'd have been in even more danger.

I can rip through a sonotube like that with one in maybe 20 seconds.

Next year, a laser will be required, with your head in the tube to see where it's cutting.  :lol:
