MetalCaster:
Hello, Pat J here.

Been around for a while, I recognize some old faces (figurative statement only) and have followed the very talented casting and model building folks here from the very beginning (beginning being 2009 perhaps).

I generally just lurk these days, but I ran across VT's very nice casting work and had to check in.

Casting video here of my iron pour.

vtsteam:
Welcome Pat!

Thanks for checking in here. I sometimes think about your bottle engine. I hope to see it running one day!

 :beer:

black85vette:
Hi Pat.   Good to hear from you.   Welcome.

MetalCaster:
Hey, another oldster, thanks Mr. Vette.

Thanks VT, the bottle engine is going like pulling eye teeth, but maybe someday.
It is definitely a long term project, and the design is not done.

The green twin design is done, so it gets cast next.

I really have to blame Rob Wilson for getting me into all this 3D and casting mess.
I was struggling to get started in 3D and Rob sent me some info (thanks for that) and really inspired me to get into the 3D and casting stuff.
My wife would probably not be so happy with Rob since I filled up her two car garage to the roof, but she doesn't know where Rob lives, so he is safe.

And then I ran across Myfordboy, Doubleboost, and most recently Ironman from downunder, and have just followed along with their videos and techniques.

Before I could not even spell crucible, and I have learned so much that now I can.   :lol:

And of course JasonB keeps egging me along every day like the Energizer Bunny; prolific fellow his is.

I hope to get back into the casting thing shortly and actually make something instead of just be in the learning curve.

Keep up the good work men.

I will post a few screen shots.

Rob.Wilson:
Hi there Pat


Looking at your engine drawings I see your now a dab hand at the 3D design  :clap: :clap: :clap: very nice  :thumbup:
