Myford ML10 Travelling Steady ----My First Casting Project
« on: October 17, 2012, 05:54:23 AM »
Hi Guys ---  I first did a drawing full size, then made a cardboard pattern marked up with machining allowance indicated in red.
 
                   A wooden pattern and a mold were made.  This is my first furnace built from firebricks, fueled by coke and an

electric paint stripper.  I was quite pleased with my first casting. Now for the machining!

Nice looking job
It is very satasfying machining your own castings
