Anyone casting Aluminum within a 1 or 2 hour drive of Kingsport, TN? I would be willing to provide pigged aluminum and patterns for someone to help me cast parts.
I have a complete set of Gingery Shaper patterns (already have a Gingery Shaper). I want to make a dividing head, and a steady rest for my mini lathe.
I have melted aluminum before, and assisted in casting a few parts. There is no one close to me that casts metal. My former partner/mentor moved to Texas. I do not have safety equipment, furnace or crucible, and would not be comfortable casting on my own yet.

The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer.
