| My latest project. Gingery horizontal mill |
| (1/24) > >> |
| Gadget:
I have just started building of a horizontal milling machine using the Gingery plans. I have already built the lathe but sold it quite a while ago. I will be adding photos when I have something to show. So far I have nearly completed the bed pattern. I hope to pour it in two weeks (visiting kids over Thanksgiving weekend so no project work then) I might shoot a video of the melt and pour when I get to that point. |

I've got the searies of books put out by Unka Dave, as Lindsay would say. I was going to go that route. The farthest I got was making the aluminum foundry. :dremel: Bernd |

I have one I have to blow up but it will be grainy. I am not home at this time but when I get back I will post it. |

This is the first attempt at casting the Gingery mill bed. My sand hasn't been used for a couple of years and was bone dry. I put too much water in the mix and had a steam blowout. The sand should be just about right by next week when I try agan. I used the gas burner today because I don't have enough oil. I also don't have a vent hood yet and the melt had to be done inside, too cold outside. |
