Dear Steve,
You should have no problem with machining the piece. I wonder if that Taig
lathe isn't the same one that Alvin Lewis Sadler has. When I was in his home
last year, while returning from the Harley Davidson Milwaukee bash, a
complete disappointment, he showed me his LITTLE lathe. I
Personally, I prefer Canola oil, less saturated!

Arthur,
Thank you for the advice about roughing out the bore and using
lubrication when cutting aluminum. The Taig lathe is small, and light
cuts are best. Therefore roughing out the piece will be necessary just
to keep the duration of the job within reason. Per your recommendation I

Harry,
It seems like anyone who does investment casting could do that. I talked to a local
caster once who mentioned having cast a bronze auto model using a Revell styrene kit
as patterns. I don't know why the foam would be any different. Ask and you may find
that everyone will do it.

Vance,
I think most automotive castings are done this way now, certainly
engines, manifolds, and such, and apparently it's a technique which makes
moulding for the home foundryman much easier as

Many thanks for your supportive comments! Preserved you are, and well.
You are indeed an example and inspiration for the rest of us.
Thanks also for your recipe for longevity. My own cupboard is bare of

Right, Harry, I understand. But just because he hasn't heard of it doesn't mean it
couldn't be done. I know it can be done because my caster has done it. I would call
the
fellow back and ask if he'd be willing to try casting from a styrene pattern. He does

why not plastic? You invest it,
Dear Steve,
I read your idea on how to bore out the aluminum block for the smoke box.
What you are going to, rotate the bar while holding the block steady will
work. But first rough out the hole/bore with drill bits if you have drill
press. Then take light cuts (.003) with your boring bar. Wet

I haven't been following the Lost Foam comments but if you need a large
number of small bronze castings made by that method I might be able to get
them made up here for you here in Mexico by the lost foam method or lost wax
