I could not have put that better as I too would love to have a go at casting ...

Yeah, that real "scratch" init  :clap: :clap: :clap:

I just had to say well done guys. This is an extremely rewarding facet to our hobby and I'd encorage anyone with an ounce of common sense to have a go. Pics attached of the cylinders for the latest build 25mm bore 40mm stroke from start to finish. Cheers and good luck. Artie

Hi
Artie
Nothing to be sorry about , the more posts the better ,this casting is certainly interesting stuff.
I have been making casting flasks all week (i hate working with wood).
I am hoping to cast a brass name plate for the house ,if i can keep the wife happy all will be well.
Regards
John
