did a little research today and found out that my A20 crucible will hold enough metal to pour the pattern with, I may have to have a smaller crucible standing by to finish filling the riser but I will just have to wait till it happens to find out anyway whats in the bucket is twenty pounds of aluminum.
and just to scratch an itch that I had as to the age old question will it come out of the sand after molding so I rammed up the outside have in a cheek that I have for one of my wooden flask.
what you see tore up around what looks like a core print is where I forgot to remove a part from the pattern that I had been using to hold it with in the lathe.
one problem with the graphite plate is I don't have one
