Part for the Cinci

[dallen]

yes that one was welded together because I got tired of messing with it, the other two I made are bolted plus I have a three or four smaller ones that were cast in one piece. I started out with wood flask, my intentions when I started the aluminum flask project was to make two or three different size panels so that the would all fit together to form different size flask but like a lot of things it got pushed to the back burner.

truth be told its probably just as easy to cast up some alignment pieces and just throw together what you need when you need it from some cheap 1X4 or whatever is needed when you need it.

Mayhem the texture of the sand and the temperature of the molten metal is what gives that kind of detail.

After taking the first part off the shaper this morning I have figured out a little more on how the original worked "I THINK" don't quote me on that. But it looks like there is suppose to be a skirt on the ratchet that runs out over the ratchet gear, the way I have it, it is rubbing basically on one side of the shaft hole. Wish that guy if Fairbanks would send me a nice clear photo of his it would make this a lot easier.

Anyway I throwed yesterdays casting in the lathe and have it about half way machined out, I'm thinking if I throw a cast iron or bronze bushing in it that it will wear better.
