This has been taking a lot of my time and I am finally done. I converted a harbor freight paint pot into a vacuum/pressure pot. The vacuum, I want to use a separate vessel that is clear so I can see it. I also made the cabinet from scratch and painted it. I took the idea of the inset pot from Curtis Seebeck from one of his casting videos on Alumilite. I also got some mold making rubber from alumilite. And cut out a reverse mold on the cnc router (my brothers Senior Project a couple years ago). So far they work really really good. I also leveled out the bottom of my pressure pot with a drain cover, I cut the edges off with the bandsaw and so far it works great. I am so glad I dont have to mess around with this cabinet anymore. I am not sure of exactly how many hours this took but it is definitely over 50. Let me know what you think.:biggrin::biggrin:

Absolutely first class job! Well thought out and executed. You've got it organized very well and I like the idea of leveling out the dish in the bottom of the pressure pot with the drain cover.

Good thing you got some nice pictures now :wink:. Enjoy it.

Very nice, I like it a lot! Having everything together will surely make you cast more than having to hunt everything down.
