Woodreaux I must congratulate you on how tidy you keep your work shop. All my working life before retirement tidiness was a thing I always aspired to but missed by a mile. Even my apprentices called my work bench "the Phoenix nest" though in my defence what came off it was always correct. And things have not changed even after I retired. Just one point about making moulds for casting metal out of metal the one major drawback is the metal mould must be the same temperature or a little hotter than the liquid metal you pour in, not doing this the mould becomes a chill with the resulting casting being distorted and having parts missing. Plaster and sand moulds work well and that is why they are still in use today because they do not take heat out of the casting metal to cause a problem, the use of metal moulds is another world of skill in its self.
