Simple steel flasks
vtsteam:
Laid out the first one, tacked it together, checked it for square, then started building the others clamped on top of that one as a pattern.
vtsteam:
I wanted to roughen up the inside surfaces to keep sand from breaking out of the flasks -- they were waaay too smooth so I just used up some old welding rod stubs I'd been saving on the insides.
vtsteam:
That rascal Lester only gave me 23 pieces of channel instead of 24! Hence the top C shaped flask.
Oh well, we both should have counted. Guess we're getting old. I'll go down town for more Lester stories Monday.
vtsteam:
I made a pattern out of Masonite to drill pilot holes.
vtsteam:
After opening the holes to 3/8" I turned six 3/8" inch tapered pins on the lathe and welded them in place in the copes.
