I guess I'm jumping on the video bandwagon. I made a casting video a few months ago.

Good job. I use stoppers also, but they are the black ones from Home Depot. What is the diameter of the board to hold the dixie cups?

Not really sure the size. I just pick a forstner bit that would bore a hole big enough for the cup. I keep knocking over the cups and making a mess.

Okay. I was thinking maybe a holesaw (like for door knobs).

That's a great video.
Enough information without an info overload!

You make it look very easy! Do you do many blanks without Pressure Pots?

Cheers
