CASTINGS! Pretty enough for the casting couch!

Hullo there! Great news! Those wooden patterns you saw here not long ago yielded some really nice castings!
Sorry for the delay in updating the blog, have been working hard on figuring out the CNC machining setups. Also, have been posting stuff on the Facebook page, neglecting to post an update here. But...here goes!

Can you spot the difference :-)

Two complete sets on the foundry floor, fresh from the shot blasting cabinet, still warm!
Machining has begun on one of the sets, currently figuring out the best sequence of operations for efficiency and accuracy and the machining fixtures required. This is moving a LOT quicker than me learning as I went along on the old manual Bridgeport three years ago! Stay tuned!
Best wishes,
Aniket
