A bit of casting

Nice one Rob, ..... didn't know you did woodturning ... Myford Maestro ??

I had a Coronet CMB500, although it often had the slot mortiser on it..

Did a good few bowls and the like, but never really mastered bead turning with the skew-chisel.
Usually landed up practising pole-vaulting ...  :(

Never tried to turn my pyjamas though ....( pic #1 )  :lol:

I'm off .....

Wes ,,"mold wash"  is a coating usually sprayed onto the cavity ,, it helps the molten metal flow across the surface of the mold , fills in the pores of the sand giving a better finish and stops the sand sticking to the casting .

Teracotta mixed with a lot of white and you may get away with it or just use one part of the yellow/grey one though it may stay a bit sticky ::)

Fill it with braze or silver solder a bit of material into the hole, spray it with a coat of primer before you give it to Bogs and he'll never know :D

You no its not worked when you you see this  :doh: ,,, mold split  ::)
 

But the new gating and a tad hotter pore did fix the cold shut problem on the thin section of the casting   :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:



And the fun side  :doh: :lol: :lol: :lol:



I can count on one hand the times i have had a mould split .Not to worry tomorrows another day ,, I have had a fun day  :ddb: :ddb: ,, my new molding flasks work a treat , and i am fit to cast  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :D


Cheers Rob ,, time for a large one  :beer:

Well Rob, you did reckon on about four pours before you really get it singing. No worries, you'll get it cracked.

BTW Rob, if you see my Skype on green, could you give me a call.

Jason, it isn't just me Rob has to fool, it is Bandit as well, he can sniff bullsh and woffle at two hundred yards, and he's got real teeth to get his point across, whereas mine only get inserted when royalty calls.
Getting into my yard is easy, getting out again is the problem.
