decided to go ahead and make the pour, so here's some more pics
first is looking down in to a pot full of molten aluminum about 5 pounds of the stuff.

next up is the shake out, nice looking part if I do say so, a little flash around the seam line but nothing that a file won't handle, them two wire looking things is where the molten aluminum ran up the two holes I poked in the mold with a piece of 062 tig rod for vents.

and a sort of close up of the part with the gating cut off.
