Well Rob, in spite of the bit of shortage in the metal department, the ramming of the pattern, the skill demonstrated in pulling the patterns, setting up the added height for metal, the whole cleanliness of the operation showed you've got it right, just the metal issue is all. By the way, what are the pieces you are melting and pre-heating to melt into your pot? Just curious. I've got to say, the finish on the part of the casting which did come out is as good as I expected it to be, and I think you'll get a good pour as soon as you've got the bigger crucible going. Great job with the pictures, nice and clear, and showing the important details, all in all, pretty good for a failed pour. :nrocks: :thumbup: :jaw: mad jack |

Hi Rob, sorry to see that ..... bugger :doh: Ive done this a time or two myself..... its all part of the deal isnt it? ..... when I first resurrected the foundry I had a couple of large pours to do so I built a large crucible from steel. Its hard to get decent sized ceramic crucibles way out here... Im in the process of building an even larger one. They work ok but have a limited lifespan. Looking forward to seeing the end result. I know youll get there. :thumbup: Rob T |
