So lets go..... this is a very complex pattern mate, looking forward to seeing it all come out of the sand..... Speaking of patterns, I found a guy here in Aus who has built his own Gingery shaper..... trying to buy his patterns off him, hes gonna let me know..... these thing are a major investment in time, much more so than most people think... well done bloke and good luck..... :beer: --- End quote --- Hi all, fine looking pattern, I expect you must have got all the draft right cause no one would try to pull a pattern that complex out of sand without being sure it was going to come up without the sand. :lol: I've only made a few patterns in my life, and machined lots out of billet, it seems making the pattern is as much work as machining the billet, but not so dodgy on accuracy, and once it's cast, lot's less machining, since the casting has its pattern established in, well, the pattern. I'd sure like to see pictures of the ramming up and pulling of the pattern, and certainly the pouring. Looking forward to this build, looks right interesting. :thumbup: mad jack |

Dave BC --- End quote --- Oh! I'm starting to feel... education! (I can feel inferior some other time.) :scratch: Rob, I'd really like to see just how you put this all together in the sand. Hope you have the time to take pics of the sequence. Some of us don't visualize this casting stuff as well as others. "Some of us" meaning, Me. Dean |
