Some Day-To-Day Work in the Cave

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Business is judged to be good or bad around here by how many times I have to make new tooling of old product. Time has come around to make fresh rubber molds from which to produce 3.5 SD bulkheads, Moebius SEAVIEW metal parts and pump-jets, and the Trumpeter SEAWOLF pump-jet.

As one never stops learning to better practice their Craft, I've incorporated improvements into the tool geometry that will greatly reduce the clean-up labor the old tooling imparted on production parts.

David, help me out here please. What is the function of the 3 vertical brass tubes in pix 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7? Are they for pouring and venting?

Sorry about the delay, forgot my password. Duh!

The two outboard holes in the disc type tool pass the machines hold-down studs. The central hole is the 'sprue hole' through which molten metal is poured as the disc spins.

Be that way, Dave. : )
Seriously, It's nice to see Ellie doing better, and Rose helping her Pop Pop catch up with the work load.

Now, if you send me your address, I'll get some replacement tee shirts right out to ya in time for your next photo shoot. LOL

[SSBN659]

Hopefully you don't come into the workshop one day not wearing any pants!

Too late ...

Finished the metal casting tool and also put together a jig so I can easily drill and tap the parts.
