I spent hours polishing that G clamp for its O level debut ... Looks like you have this casting all sorted Graham I started my furnace last year and it still isnt finished ! Talk about a slow worker. Although in my defence... I have also started many other projects that are in the to be finished pile RE: pattern in molding box - stevec - 03-15-2013 (03-14-2013, 04:32 PM)the artfull-codger Wrote: It was one of four we cast for a young lads gcse project that my son was teaching Okay, I'll ask properly.
