 The lads done good  :thumbup:
Looks like all went well with the casting, very impresive  :clap:, looking forward to seeing it being machined , The weather was spot on for the cast too , which is almost a miracle considering whats its been like lately.
   Class job there !

A nice clean casting John, And the hired help comes cheap for the price of a bacon sarny.

Hi Rob & John

knowing that there are many of us out here who cannot do a casting line this, how much would you charge for one shipped to Australia.

with beautiful base castings like this I would suggest that you have the makings of a nice little business here.

Have fun and let us see more.

I have to agree with Rob on this
A couple of years ago Rob spent countless hours on a casting job
His time and effort (not to mention the cost of gas and bronze) were not appriciated
