rough casting of a 4"Redhawk. I will saw off the sprue, grind, file and polish to size.
Next, a PMR-30! 5.5 flat top 5.5" Super Blackhawk, 4" Sp101 4" 44mag, Taurus 4" Tracker. LC9LM, LCPLM, etc until I just have aluminum form guns in the shop.
Then there will be some gun selling and trading going on!

Where's the copper coils? Sure you're not brewing rather than casting? Better money in the likker than in leather!!
Pretty cool stuff there. I haven't cast any aluminum since middle school. Cast a bunch of silver and gold but the lost wax method may not work so hot for your set-up.
Knowing that you would be looking at this....well

it ain't jewelry
I have seen youtube vids of lost plastic foam for big stuff.
The still is an idea for water to recharge my PV batteries...of course!
