Thread: Metal casting tools project

  1. Default Metal casting tools project

    Has a person that wanted some tools made, figure I would post the final tools. Rebar, steel plate, nuts and bolts.

    One a to pickup the crucible, other to are to move and pour the metals. He invited us to come see them in action, will get more pictures then.

    Very nice. I really like the wheels to carry the weight, hold it nice and steady, and keep the operator far away from splashes.

    Being able to cast metal opens up a large new project list. I would be careful with the wheeled one there is no retainer for the crucible and it may fall out near the end of pouring.

    That's something I wanted to learn. Before we left Memphis I was looking into the Memphis College of Art. I wanted to take classes in metal sculpting and casting. That is some cool stuff, and I'm glad to see more people are getting in to casting.
