well I tried again today to melt cast iron, in the same crucible as I used last time when we had the giant fiasco with the stuff freezing in the crucible and me being lucky enough to get it out without damaging the crucible.
Anyway I had to empty the muller to move it so instead of putting the oilbonded sand back in it I had some new clean silica sand so I mixed up a new ( have a couple buckets of old stuff somewhere) batch of greensand and rammed up the pattern for the nut that goes on the shaft where you adjust the length of the stroke on the shaper.
Like Ed say's no video it didn't happen so here it is
