sounds like a good thread to start if you know how to get cheap buys, and I always need to know how to pay less.
I'll keep you in mind your not that far from OKC, and who knows I know some people that work up there in the Ft Belle area, put in an Ashpalt plant up there on the Missouri River at the old Quarry.
I thought I had and in for some Coke down here but like the creeks here in Oklahoma in the summer time the source dried up. A cupola would be fun to fire up but I just don't do that much casting at any one time.
I'm working on a new pattern to replace the part that I made for the shaper which will be a lot smaller and I plan to pour it with Cast Iron. I'll post a photo of it a little later today after I get it into a recognizable shape.
here's a picture of one of the thinnest casting that I tried to do, the one in the photo came out almost full but did have a couple of defects, I stopped trying to pour it after someone sent me a blade to replace the one I used as a pattern.
