Looks like you have the weekend all booked up Rob - nice patterns :bow: :bow: - It's about time you got the wood lathe sorted :poke: :poke: :lol: :) - I'll be looking at satellite pictures of the north of England this weekend - the spot near Newcastle where there's no white stuff should be where you are then; all snow melted away from running the furnace :lol: Kind regards, Arnold |

Truly amazing stuff Rob - by the way, I'm not too far down the road, near Darlington but work up in Birtley - not quite a Geordie but not far off! I've only ever cast a very simple component in aluminium before my dad retired as a teacher. I made the pattern for it and realise how labour intensive those must be! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you get the core to stay in the right place? or do I just need a :wack: Great work, thanks for sharing it all. :bow: Nick |

Cheers Lads :headbang: Here you go Nick ,good question ,,, The pattern has core prints on it ,, the part painted black (good stones tune :med: ) ,, this leaves a print in the sand for the core to rest on . There are other methods of positioning the core ,, that i will show on a later job If your interested your more than welcome to call over on Sunday ,,, i will demonstrate it to you on a Rider Ericsson cylinder :dremel: , no tax or import duty :lol: :lol: Rob :D |
