Doctor said to work on my coping skills

Possibly interesting:
A lot of coping down with this pattern (get it?)
Double rolling the mold for easier pattern removal
Using parting powder to print the location of a runner in the drag onto the cope to locate gates.
New sprue cover in action!

Oh wow, nice job 👍

[@tobhomott]

Thanks! Also, holy moley, long time no see...

Some people don't know how long sand casting takes 😂😂. Glad to see you used the bug out 🔥🔥🔥

[@tobhomott]

I was hoping that came across when I left the one 8+ minute take of coping down between the first 2 tentacles uncut. It would go a lot faster if I made follow blocks to sit under the raised tentacles, but that would defeat the whole purpose of using this thing for molding practice, and I'm probably done making these anyway now that my kid and I each have one.

Nice job, coping things down is a bit therapeutic isnt it 😄

[@tobhomott]

I don't need any excuse to put a pun in the title, but there's some truth to that. I find it quite relaxing.

Kraken good job! I imagined that the Bug Out device was an air vent cover for a bomb shelter. Amd you could probably sell them to preppers for that purpose.

Don't give me any ideas, lol. I was thinking they'd work ok for keeping wasps out of your beer too. Someone would probably try to use it as a coaster and spill their beer because of the little handle though. PS I see what you did there
