Very nice job, I watch with envy, perhaps one day after I retire if I live that long I will be able to get into doing the many things I have planned of which casting in brass alum and cast iron are planned. Really enjoy your posts. tom

Hello John,
Looks great, especially for a casting that big Just My curiosity, what sand mix did you use? Best Regards Rick
Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.

Hi
Rick The sand is just ordinary green sand i get it from a local foundry They call it" Mansfield Red". So i presume it comes from Mansfield John

Thanks John,
The stuff I used to get from my local foundry (which is not at all local now, Australia) was always very black, hence the question, they used to let me use it and then bring it back and run it through the mill for reuse. Best regards Rick
