Casting a Unimat steady rest

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Harold , was thinking you should have had our friend Chuck print you another 3-D mold that was solid so you would not have to fill in voids. You know our friend Chuck’s always looking for something to work on LOL. Always nice to see you out working in the shop. Gary

I had not found the files for the rest at the time. Strange enough I found them last night and downloaded the whole thing. Thanks Gary.

Hello Harold, I knew the punchline just a short time into the Bubba story. My uncle always told joke as long as I have known him and I learned of this on back in the 60's. His version used a slightly different reason for shopping for clothes and was a tad longer. It is wonderful to see it is standing the test of time and still making the rounds. Good to see you up and about more and doing things you like. We all learn from mistakes and showing your to us is very appreciated, at least by me. Thank you.

Good to see you getting some shop time in, even if the sand does not want to cooperate.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

The stuff has a mind of its own. Thanks Tom.

Harold, good to see you in the shop. How are feeling? Never did any casting, looks to me like a pretty substantial project. Good job!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I need to gain some fusion 360 talents so I can make my own patterns. Having a little draft angle on the sides is really helpful. I am feeling great. Thanks Dale for commenting.

That is a cute little steady rest, very manageable size. 🙂

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

A bit of contrast with what you normally use. Thanks Brian.

I once had a friend named James Perkins.we were 14 years old in 1994 when he was stabbed and killed in Houston tx.. it's a shame they never found out who killed him. I don't think they really ever gave a crap! I wish they would open up a cold case on him. Anyway when you said that name I thought of him.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for viewing.

[@Preso58]

Bubba joke for the win!😄

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Thanks Mark.
