been working on the pattern and think that if the paint will dry I'll try to mold it again in the morning.
Goldy I have both regular parting dust and plumbago or as the farmers say graphite. problem I've had with graphite is that with cast iron it causes rough castings, but it does help on patterns that have little or almost no draft on them.
I have a brand new A20 silicon carbide crucible that I hope to one day melt full of cast iron.
And A16 full of brass your gonna need that swing warm for sure, I have a telephone pole in my back yard that I hope to hang a swing arm off of one of these days
anyway heres a link to a little video I did today cutting the top off of some railroad rail.
