<div dir="ltr"><div>I did a bit of lost wax casting long ago. That was fun. Wife still wears the ring I made for her :-) I have enough tools to almost be a full metal shop. I keep looking at a small lathe and going "It would be nice to learn. Like I have time!"<br>
<br></div>That said, the metal class I'm taking is to prep up for doing some stainless welding for my brewing rig. I plan to eliminate all threaded connections! Having lots of fun with a forge. Pounding red hot steel is satisfying. So far, I can make a round rod very flat :-D<br>
