home made foundry tools

nice set of tools you have there Graham, I like the air rammer but my compressor won't handle one, I did basically the same thing with a pistol type air hammers it worked but puts too much drain on my pancake air pump.

I just cut up a bearing to make a larger wax fillet tool as I have ordered some 3/8" radius wax.

I use tin measuring spoons as gate and runner cutters, but any thin tin will make a cutter in a hurry. my pulling screws I just use 3 or 4 inch construction screws and what ever is handy to rap with.

My gas rig for cores is a large paint ball gun CO2 cylinder with a refill valve on it with some hose and a extra large hypo needle (actually its for basting turkeys) about 3 inchs long.

also have an assortment of artist pallet knifes that I use from time to time.

you make the ingate patterns?
Will have to drag it all out in the sun and take a photo of it.
