Nice job! When you pour a 602 head, I will send you a gold star.

Glad the paper worked.

I tried soot before, that didn't work for me.

Ed, here's my pedastal fixture....

The tin bands are to put around where the flange gets poured. Sure keeps the putty from falling off. They just snap together.
The fixture is adjustable. the top fits on the case snugly.

I can pour you a couple pedastal bearings if you want. That way you can just glue them in. Yeah..I'm almost kidding. I've sent them to folks before. Just between you and me okay?

Wayne, the standards for "genius" category must have really slipped over the years. Wonder what kind of questions are on the Mensa test.....

The joke is the next step for a genius is a blitthering idiot HE HE. I visit the web site Smokstack. Somebody posted a picture of a fish butchering machine. I figure the guy that put that thing together ended up in a funny farm. Somebody said they had seen it work. You needed to wear a has mat suit when operating it.
