After assembling a mold Friday and having the block poured on Saturday, and waiting all weekend for results, I saw the first iron block come out of shot blast this morning. So far, so good. Aside from some expected burn-in, the block looks good. No holes. Solid in all the troublesome areas. The foundry will work on clean up and this afternoon I will take pictures of the cleaned block. I was very pleased with the results. Now I have aluminum and iron samples, and a machine that is up and running. Get ready boys!
