Well that shags the whole setup up then don't it, chances of spotting a virgin round here are the same as Lord Lucan winning the grand national on Shergar. Looks like you are safe for the next pour, mutter, bollox, rhubarb and double bollox.

Hi Lads I finally got to fire up the furnace this after noon , added a couple of risers to the mould , the riser was full , this shot show how much the riser fed the mould Looking good ,no sign of any shrinkage , just started to dig it out the sand Removed from the sand , with the core intact , as i dont want the core sand to mix with the ,casting sand The core sand removed and some of the flash Still have to cut the gates off and a bit of a clean up of the parting lines , quite pleased with the core wash for a home brew mix A few shots of the gating Cheers Rob Edit : Oh how my arms hurt ,, Just to give you an idea of the weight of each moulding box , imagine 4 , 2 ft x 1 1/2 ft flag stones flat in a stack , then having to lift ,turn , and then reposition them all in one go together , that how heavy each flask is ,, and having to do it a few times cos some lump of sand had fallen out of the mould that should not have ::) |

Now that looks good Rob :thumbup: Top marks for Percy verance ( you know the guy? :) ) --- Quote ---Oh how my arms hurt --- End quote --- But think of the underlying benefits..... it won't be long before this feels easy and the slightly smaller ones are no trouble at all.... It's amazing how fast the body re-adjusts muscles to do the tasks demanded of it :med: --- Quote ---Now what the heck are risers?? --- End quote --- :lol: I was kinda thinking the same thing.... Like an expansion tank? Feeding during shrinkage? as the outside of the casting sets the risers keep the inside pressurised/fed so it doesn't collapse?? (or am I just inventing stuff in my hectic tired head again? :lol:) Also, is flash the thin overspill that is cut away where it has seeped into the gap between the moulds? Looking forward to seeing the rest of this take shape too :dremel: :nrocks: Ralph. |

Woo-Hoo! :thumbup: It looks good! I just knew third time would be a charm. Good thing John lives in a loose town so he can't put the hoo-doo on you again. Thanks very much for answering all my questions, Rob. I'm gettin' a casting edgamakashun here. The price is right, and the course is first rate! Dean |
