Hi
Bob
We used it to ram the flasks up on (nice and flat)
We did not want to get ant molten metal on it as it burns well and gives off nasty gas

John,
That's a little mill you have, I always thought it was bigger than that

Only just fits, looking good

Hi
Lads
Not much progress to report
I was hoping to get the cylinder cast today
I painted the modified patern yesterday and the paint reacted (it looked like it had the pox)
Paint stripper and start again is the only way
