I think I've been inspired! I was planning to fabricate the body/worm housing of my headstock divider out of plate and bolts, but after seeing how easy *you make it look* I might have a go at casting it instead!
Now I've got lots of damn fool questions...
In the first video you say it's easy and cheap to get the proper casting sand; as a fellow right-pondian can you suggest what to look for in the yellow pages?
How many melts do you get / Kg of propane, will I need a bigger (than 20Kg) bottle? Will a surplus-to-requirements (ex-caravan 20Kg) propane bottle make a half-decent furnace, as I don't have a spare beerkeg, would you think? Any need for forced air for the burner?
