Do you have any photos of some of your projects?


considering the reaction I got from the last photo I sent you
....bugger off.


I didn't think you would.

beyond all that .... casting is serious business and must be given
one's full attention.
you do not want the distraction of visitors.
you do not want the distraction of pausing for photos.

In truth I have no photos because I've never delayed the processes to
take any.
it is a dark art and making castings in exactly the same way will
often result in totally different outcomes.
often I have thought a casting wasted when it has turned out perfect
and often I have thought I would have a perfect casting only to find
it stuffed and useless.

most of my castings were done for other people as I developed the
techniques.

I'm about to restart casting again after a few years break.
this time around I will be casting wheel hubs and the like for my
flying projects.
