Hi
Lads
Not cast that base yet
Lots of prep work first
Made up a set of crucible tongs today
Nothing special just 1 inch flat bar and a bit of welding
A good tip for bending flat bar is to cut the outside of the bend 2/3 of the way through bend it then a couple of weld beads and you are done

Hi
Lads
Bigger castings need bigger tools
Time for a man sized rammer

Will my lathe ever be the same :slaphead::slaphead:



Hoping to get it cast this weekend :smiley-dancenana::smiley-dancenana:
