Here are pics of my first three casting experiments. For each, I used a differnt type of mold. For experiment 1, I used a piece of 3/4" copper pipe, and capped one end.
For experiment # 2 I used a single mold I made which measures 3/4 x 3/4 for the finished blank size.
And for experiment #3, I made a mold double in width of my original single mold. If this works, it should allow me to end up with 2 full size blanks, in case I want to make a matching set.
Hopefully, I'll be able to turn some of these this week-end. I'm really curious to see how these turn out.
Thanks for any comments or feedback you might want to share.
