Wrap up

This is the first time I have cast this pattern. I found a few minor issues that if I were to cast it again I would want to address. The flat faces on the tapered end and the bottom didn’t pull cleanly from the sand. This added time in fixing the mold and finishing the cast part. I took it out for a test spin in the sand.

Test run

Overall I am happy with the outcome. It has a nice weight of just over 1 Lb. Fits well in the hand and doesn’t fatigue the user. The angled end compacts the sand well as well as leaving the surfaces of the layers textured enough to lock them together. The Flat end speeds the final compression of wide areas. Overall, I’m happy with the outcome.

You might call him obsessed or just a hardcore geek. Wes's obsession with gaming hardware and gadgets isn't anything new, he could be found taking things apart even as a child. When not poking around in PC's he can be found playing League of Legends, Awesomenauts, or Civilization 5 or watching a wide variety of TV shows and Movies. A car guy at heart, the same things that draw him into tweaking cars apply when building good looking fast computers.
