Setup for Casting

[1JaredSchmidt]

I got some money saved up for some casting accessories. What kind of stuff do I need?

Pressure Pot?
Fittings?
Hoses?
Rack?
PR or Resin?
Last of all how do I do it?

Any other advice I'd appreciate. Thanks!

Jared,
if you want to make a trek down here (far northern IL) I can show you whatever you need/want to know and you could use my equipment before you buy anything.

Or email me your questions and I'll do the best I can to answer them.

Jared,
The library has some great tutorials on setting up a pressure pot and casting blanks. Take a little time and read through them they were a great resource when I got started casting. There is info on suppliers and some great tips. Also you tube has some good videos from one of the IAP members Grub32. Do a search for him he has done an excellent job filming the process. If you have any questions afterwards feel free to send a PM and I'd be glad to help.

the library has some really good stuff on how to set yourself up for casting, Jared. Have a look-see there first.

Jared,
Contact grub32 and see if he can provide another means for you to see his videos.

Jared,

DO you have high speed internet access?? If so, I could even send you (email) some videos. OR I could even burn them to a disk and send them up your way. Hows that sound?

Here is a link to pictures of my setup: http://www.blindsquirrel.us/Scott/PressurePot/ With the exception of the vacuum/pressure gauge I got all my fittings at Lowes.
