About an hour and a half after casting, dressing on belt sander.
Belt sanders are really good. I would like to make one with smaller wheel so can get into tighter radii.
Pattern made out of salvaged packing case wood and just waxed with floor polish. Dressed up casting, length about 12 and 1/2 inch. Now have to bore hole and recess, drill and tap.
I had to make this 90 degree angle bracket before I could commence the machining process. The bracket worked really well so I hope that I will find it usefull on future projects.
Drilling the through hole.
