started removing everything that doesn't look like a support today to see if this would work, well it won't. The big end that gets like a 2.5 inch hole in it is way to high. other things look pretty good but I sure missed the center line on that one.
Oh well now I get to make a new pattern, so I can trash the first one I made which is in a state of disaster.
the aluminum did cut nice, wasn't gummy like some casting can be, of course I also throwed in half of a Tweco Mig gun nozzle which are made from some pretty heavy copper to help with the melt. This pot consisted of all the sprues and gating from the last melt along with a couple of ingots that I made at some time or another, plus another hunk of extruded window frame (one of these days I'm gonna have that thing all melted). I never really measure the amount I put in but if I get to much it will make the aluminum to hard to machine.
