Anyone have plans for a bellows for blowing out the mold? Any other drawings or builds on making molding tools?
I'm working on a wood rammer now. I have one flask built, a riddler and a seive. I have a couple of spoons from a late friend that did pottery, and a couple of old flatware spoons.

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

I guess I'm too windy.... Yikes as I just blow it out....
I like the soft brush on the right of my small tools pic earlier in the thread, a chip brush works too.
I'll get some pics of the cornering tools well better yet I'll post a pic of a super neat set of foundry tools, not mine but oh so niceDrool
